Q. I have a baby, so I need one that will be flexible.
A. Online degrees are not well accepted because of widespread reports of students hiring an impostor to take the courses online. As a result, any online degree is considered questionable, even if from a legit school. Obviously it is far easier for a student to cheat in an online program than in a monitored classroom. There is a growing trend for colleges to code degrees and transcripts to indicate whether the study was online, blended, or actual classroom based. Employers check this, and often automatically reject job applicants listing any online degree or any for-profit school.
Online degrees offer convenience at the cost of credibility. It has been said that the "distance learning" student only learns how to be distant from any decent learning!
A far better option could be a local public community college. Many have day care centers on campus or nearby, so you wouldn't have to worry about your baby. You might also be able to take blended courses, where study is done online-but all tests or lab studies are done in a classroom. A photo I.D. is required to enter the classroom. This helps prevent cheating by students who might hire an impostor. You would only have to be in a classroom a few times each semester for blended classes. The blended classes also have far greater credibility than any online-only program.

Why does the doctor measure a pregnant woman's abdomen? What does this measurement mean?
Q. I heard that this has something to do with how large your baby is going to be. Like if you measure 32cm your baby is about 32 weeks along in size development...is this true, or is this something else?
A. Your practitioner is checking the growth of your baby by measuring from the top of your pubic bone to the top of your uterus. As your pregnancy progresses, this distance should continue to increase.
We use the metric system in obstetrics, so the measurement in centimeters usually correlates with the number of weeks you�re pregnant after the 20th week of pregnancy.
In other words, a 25-centimeter measurement is expected of a woman who�s 25 weeks pregnant. Your doctor uses this measurement to monitor the growth of the baby. If this number slows down, he or she may suggest further testing.
Hope this helps!

How advanced in my pregnancy do I have to be before I can clearly hear the baby's heartbeat with a stethoscope?
Q. I can barely catch little snatches of it now at 12 weeks. How much longer before I can hear it clearly?
I have excellent hearing... It sounded like a muffled clock ticking at about two to three times my own heart rate. I have a Sprague double tube stethoscope from my CNA days and that's what I've been using.

A. There are many variables including the acuity of your own hearing, the type of stethoscope used and the location and position of the fetus.
Amplified electronic stethoscopes (which cost $30 to $60) usually state that for best results, 21 to 28 weeks of development are required. Typical audio stethoscopes might require about 4 additional weeks.
The heartbeat will usually run in the range of 120 to 180 beats per minute (2 to 3 per second) and if everything is in the best condition, hearing it at 12 weeks is not that unusual. Just do not freak out if the next time you try, you do not hear anything. If the baby turns, the distance between its heart and the stethoscope can double or triple and make listening very difficult.
Doppler monitors will be able to pick up the heartbeats sooner and more clearly than any stethoscope but can be expensive to rent.
If you are careful, you might hear the baby hiccup or even kick. Try not to get too excited as your regular heartbeat (at its regular rate) is one of the most soothing things for the baby. Relax as much as you can. Learn to breathe deeply.

What to do during a dog's seizure and what is the cost of medication?
Q. My 3 year old lab had two seizures in March of this year (really weak, not diagnosed). Yesterday my wife and I noticed he was having one. I rubbed him down and talked to him during the seizure until it went away (3-5 minutes). What else can I do? I know I have to take him to the vet and most likely get him medicated. How much money are we looking at?
A. my dog had seizures and all i could do for her is sit and pat her and let her know i was there.
Its very sad to watch it happen to them
I the end the seizures did kill her
I just found this info if its any good
During the Seizure:
- Some dogs are light or sound sensitive during seizure episodes. Try dimming the lights and keeping phones at a distance from the dog.
- Keep old towels or baby diapers handy to catch urine if your dog urinates during seizures.
- Some human epileptics say they have an easier time if the seizure is allowed to run its course. Calling the dog's name to bring them out of the seizure may not be the best thing for your dog. Try it each way and see which is more comfortable for your particular dog's seizure.
- A fan blowing on the dog, or rubbing the feet and belly with cool water may help cool the dog down. Of course, in any case should the dog seem to be overheating due to repeated seizures or not coming out of a seizure -IMMEDIATELY bring the dog to/or contact a vet since overheating can be very dangerous.
- Many dogs are confused and even blind right after a seizure. Keep the dog in a safe area where they cannot fall down stairs or hurt themselves.
- Keep a careful journal of the seizures. As soon as possible write down the exact time the dog started to seizure and the time the seizure ended. A stop watch or watch with a second hand can be helpful. After the seizure is over and you have time - write down all circumstances surrounding the seizure, such as unusual food eaten, activities that happened during the previous day, medications or vaccinations recently given. A detailed journal can be helpful when bringing your dog to a new vet or neurologist.
- Be prepared to transport a dog that cannot stand up and walk, or is even in the middle of a seizure. Hard plastic children's sleds can be used to carry or drag the dog to the car. A heavy blanket folded can also act as a stretcher. If you are alone with a very heavy/large seizing dog, call the vets office for instructions. Depending on where you live you may want to try calling the police for help in getting the dog into the car if no one else is available.
Safety:
- Seizure proofing your home is important since most of us cannot be there to watch our dogs at all times. Seizures may occur when the dog is home alone. Many people crate their dogs while they are not there. An airline type crate (Vari-Kennel or Furrari) minimizes the chances of the feet getting caught up in the wires.
- While crating, or even when leaving the dog home alone, make sure the dog is not wearing a collar (especially with tags) that could get caught while the dog is thrashing. Choking can result.
- Some people make a special room for the epileptic dog, clearing out any objects/furniture that may injure the dog during a seizure. Crating or making a 'doggy room' may be the best idea should you have a 'catapulting dog', that is one that throws itself across the room during seizures.
- Never leave an epileptic dog alone near any water deep enough to drown in. If you need to, investigate getting a doggy lifevest for your dog.
- If you are concerned about your dog seizing while swimming, doggie life vests are available.
- Protection or separation may need to be considered in multiple dog households. A seizing dog can trigger the 'pack' instinct in which an injured animal on the ground is attacked. Monitor your dogs until you know their reactions to the seizing dog.
- Baby gates can be invaluable to block off stairways or confine the dog to a certain room.
- Be careful of leaving windows open should you have a dog that spends time near one. Screen windows can easily fall out of the framing as well as your dog.
- Prop a large piece of styrofoam insulation against a sliding glass door if you are afraid of your dog hitting against it.
- Buy a new or used baby alert monitor to 'hear' your dog if he sleeps in a different part of the home. Just put the receiver part in your bedroom -this may help you sleep better if you are constantly trying to 'listen' to hear if the dog is all right.
- If you really want to know what happens when you are not home, buy a voice activated tape recorder. It only records when significantly loud noise is heard. This will not only let you know if your dog has seized, but if he has been barking all day. Some also videotape their dog during the time they are gone. They then fast forward thru the tape to see if anything unusual has happened during the day.
- Keep phone numbers to your vet and all emergency vet hospitals near all phones. 2:00 a.m. in the morning is not he time to decide if your dog is in status and then figure out what to do. Drive by the emergency vet so you know exactly where it is. When traveling, get emergency numbers in advance or immediately find the hospital nearest you when you arrive. Keep the number handy at all times.
- An ID tag on a lost epileptic dog is very important. It's scary enough to think of a lost dog, but a lost dog without medications is even worse. Medical alert tags are available at most pharmacies, pet supply catalogs or from your vet. It can even be engraved and worn with your dog's regular tags.
- Train all your dogs for basic obedience. You may need it someday if you are walking multiple dogs and your epileptic seizures. The situation would be much easier if the other dogs will obey a sit or down stay.
