GOOD MORNING!
THERE IS SOME
CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING
CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING
SOON
SOON --
SOON -- OREGON PARENTS MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPT THEIR
CHILDREN OUT OF VACCINES
-- REQUIRED BY SCHOOLS.
THAT IS IF A BILL PASSES
THE STATE SENATE.
THE OREGON HOUSE PASSED
THE BILL YESTERDAY.
IT WOULD PREVENT PARENTS
FROM CLAIMING PERSONAL,
PHILOSOPHICAL OR
RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS TO
AVOID VACCINE
REQUIREMENTS.
THE MEASURED GAINED
TRACTION THIS YEAR
FOLLOWING THE
MEASLES OUTBREAK IN
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON LAWMAKERS
ALREADY APPROVED A
SIMILAR BILL.
SOME ARGUE THE
GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE
ABLE TO INTRUDE
INTO MEDICAL DECISIONS.
WHILE, SUPPORTERS OF THE
BILL SAY IT'S NEEDED TO
PREVENT ANOTHER OUTBREAK
FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.
OUTCUE: IF YOU DON'T
YOUR CHILD IS OSTRACIZED FROM THE VERY PUBLIC
ACCOMODATION THAT WE ALL
PAY FOR VERY DEARLY,
DON'T WE.
OREGON'S GOVERNOR KATE
BROWN SAYS SHE WILL SIGN
THE BILL

THE SENATE.
THE
THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL CONFIRMED 60- NEW MEASLES
CASES IN THE U-S.
THAT BRINGS THE TOTAL TO
764 CASES.
THAT NUMBER IS THE
HIGHEST IN 25 YEARS.
MOST OF THE CASES ARE IN
NEW YORK.
AT LEAST 23 STATES HAVE
CONFIRMED CASES.
THIS COMES JUST A FEW
DAYS AFTER A CASE OF THE
MEASLES WAS
CONFIRMED IN THE SEATTLE
AREA.
AREA.
HEALTH
HEALTH EXPERTS ARE RUNNING A DRILL THIS WEEK TO SEE HOW
WASHINGTON WOULD RESPOND
TO THE PLAGUE.
STATE, TRIBAL, AND LOCAL
HEALTH AGENCIES WILL
TEST THEIR ABILITY
TO DISTRIBUTE OVER ONE
MILLION DOSES OF
MEDICATION AND
SUPPLIES.
THEY ARE CALLING THE
DRILL THE
"TRANSPORTATION RELAY
EXERCISE."
EXERCISE."
STATE
STATE LEADERS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE ARE OTHER MORE LIKELY
HEALTH CRISES THAN AN
OUTBREAK OF THE PLAGUE.
BUT -- THEY CHOSE THAT
SCENARIO BECAUSE IT
TESTS MANY ELEMENTS OF
GOVERNMENT EMERGENCY
RESPONSE PLANS.
YESTERDAY -- A TRUCK
DELIVERED MEDICAL
SUPPLIES TO THE
WASHINGTON STATE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE STAFF
WILL NOW REPACKAGE AND
DISTRIBUTE THE SUPPLIES.
THE EXERCISE IS EXPECTED
TO LAST UNTIL FRIDAY.
THE
THE F-D-A
THE F-D-A IS ISSUING A NEW WARNING. NEW DATA SUGGESTS
CHEMICALS IN SUNSCREEN
ARE
BEING ABSORBED INTO THE
HUMAN BODY AT LEVELS
THAT COULD
POTENTIALLY BE TOXIC.
THE STUDY TOOK 24 PEOPLE
WHO USED VARIOUS
SUNSCREENS OVER
75 PERCENT OF THEIR
BODY.
THEY ALSO REAPPLIED
SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
RESEARCHERS FOUND FOUR
OF THE MAIN INGREDIENTS
WERE
ABSORBED INTO THE BODY.
BUT EXPERTS SAY PEOPLE
SHOULD NOT STOP USING
IT.
IT.
IT. "MOST
IT. "MOST OF US DON'T USE
SUNSCREEN 4 TIMES A DAY ON 75 PERCENT OF OUR
BODY SO IT WAS A MAXIMAL
APPLICATION BUT IT
POINTS OUT SOMETHING
THAT WE
NEED TO AT FURTHER"
SUNSCREEN
SUNSCREEN IS STILL NECESSARY TO PREVENT SKIN DAMAGE.
EXPERTS ALSO SAY FURTHER
RESEARCH IS NEEDED TO
FIND
POSSIBLE RISKS.
THEY ALSO MENTION THE
SUN IS MORE HARMFUL THAN
THE
POTENTIAL RISKS OF THE
CHEMICALS.
CHEMICALS.
PETS
PETS OFTEN BECOME A PART OF THE FAMILY -- AND LOSING THEM IS
NEVER EASY.
SOME VETERINARIANS ARE
USING A EUTHANASIA
METHOD TO EASE THE
PROCESS ON THE PET --
AND ITS OWNER.
THEY ARE USING SEDATION
BEFORE EUTHANASIA.
KREM 2'S KIERRA ELFALAN
HERE WITH US THIS
MORNING.
MORNING.
SHE
SHE SPOKE
SHE SPOKE WITH A FEW EXPERTS IN THE FIELD ON WHAT THEY PREFER --
AND HOW THE PRACTICE HAS
CHANGED OVERTIME.
YEARS AGO SEDATION
BEFORE EUTHANASIA WAS
NOT A COMMON
PRACTICE.
PRACTICE.
NOW,
NOW, MANY
NOW, MANY VETERINARIANS ARE FINDING THAT SEDATION CAN BE
VERY HELPFUL WITH THE
OVERALL PROCESS OF
EUTHANASIA.
EUTHANASIA.
THIS
THIS IS
THIS IS GEORGE, MY PHOTOGRAPHER NATE'S CAT. GEORGE HAS BEEN HAVING
PROBLEMS WITH KIDNEY
FAILURE AND IS
SHRINKING BEFORE OUR
EYES -- HE IS MUCH
THINNER THAN HE WAS THE
LAST TIME I WATCHED HIM
WHEN HIS OWNERS WERE
AWAY ON
VACATION.
LIKE MANY OWNERS -- NATE
AND HIS WIFE ARE
THINKING ABOUT
THE EUTHANASIA PROCESS
-- AND HOW HARD IT CAN
BE.
MANY VETERINARIANS
NOW-A-DAYS ARE USING
SEDATION AS
A WAY TO CALM PETS AND
GIVE OWNERS MORE
MEANINGFUL TIME
WITH THEM -- BEFORE
SAYING GOODBYE.
A PRACTICE THAT WAS NOT
VERY COMMON OVER A
DECADE AGO.
DECADE AGO. I THINK THEY ARE MORE
CALM, THEY DON'T GO THROUGH AN EXCITEMENT
PHASE
WHILE WE ARE GIVING IT.
IN GENERAL THE WHOLE
THING IS JUST WAY MORE
PEACEFUL
AND IT SEEMS MORE HUMANE
AND KIND...BUTT...I'VE
DONE IT BOTH WAYS AND IN
MY EXPERIENCE DOING IT
WITH SEDATION, IT SEEMS
TO MAKE FOR A SMOOTHER
PROCESS
FOR THE PET AND FOR THE
CLIENT. YOU KNOW,
ESPECIALLY WHEN OWNERS
ARE
PRESENT. THEIR PETS,
WHEN WE DO THIS, I THINK
IT'S JUST TO HELP
PROVIDE A
BETTER OVERALL
EXPERIENCE AND PROCESS.
SOME VETERINARIANS
AGAINST USING SEDATION
BEFORE
BEFORE
SOME
SOME VETERINARIANS AGAINST USING SEDATION BEFORE
BEFORE
EUTHANASIA SAY IT MAKES THE PROCESS TAKE LONGER. TO THAT -- DOCTOR DYKE
SAYS IT DOESN'T ADD MUCH
MORE TIME AND IT
USUALLY ALSO DEPENDS ON
WHAT THE OWNER WANTS...
MORE TIME WITH THEIR PET
OR A QUICKER GOODBYE.
OTHERS SAY SEDATION
MAKES IT HARDER TO FIND
A VEIN.
DOCTOR TANGUAY SAYS
THERE ARE DIFFERENT
TYPES THAT CAN BE USED
SO VETERINARIANS DON'T
RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM.
THE AMERICAN VETERINARY
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
RECOMMENDS SEDATION OR
ANESTHESIA BEFORE
EUTHANASIA -- BUT IT IS
NOT REQUIRED.
NOT REQUIRED. SOME VETERINARIANS STILL
PREFER TO DO THINGS THE WAY
THEY HAVE BEEN
PRACTICING FOR YEARS OF
THEIR CAREER -- BUT YOU
CAN ALWAYS ASK YOU LOCAL
VET ABOUT THE BEST
OPTIONS FOR YOU
AND YOUR PET.
