INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your veterinarian diagnoses your dog with roundworms, he or she will prescribe a medication to kill the roundworms. There are many available deworming agents (e.g., fenbendazole, piperazine, ivermectin), so your veterinarian will choose the medication and dosage that will work best for your dog. If you have a very young puppy, he will need to be treated every two weeks until he is two months old, and then monthly until he is six months old. Although unpleasant, you may see dead or dying roundworms in your puppy's feces. If you have the puppy's mom at home, she will need to be treated at the same time as the puppy. This will kill any larvae that may migrate to her milk and cause the puppy to be re-infected. Follow the prescribing instructions carefully to ensure effective treatment. After your dog finishes the treatment, your veterinarian will probably want to test his feces several more times to confirm successful treatment. Your veterinarian will determine when those follow up appointments should take place. During the complicated life cycle of roundworms, the eggs will develop into larvae that essentially entomb themselves into different body tissues. After a while, they emerge, migrate through the body, and develop into adult roundworms. The deworming agent will kill the adult roundworms. However, since the larvae will be emerging and developing at different times, the medication needs to be given every few weeks to kill all of the adult roundworms.

SUMMARY: Treat your dog with a deworming agent. Schedule follow up appointments with your veterinarian. Understand how a deworming agent works.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Run the Brussels sprouts under cold water and remove any yellowed leaves. Then, cut them in half from the top to the stem, and make a 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) incision in the stem. This will help the heat penetrate the Brussels sprouts. Make sure the saucepan is large enough to hold the sliced Brussels sprouts. Season the sprouts with salt and pepper to taste. Cook them one side for about 5 minutes until they're golden brown, and then turn them over to the other side. The water should coat the bottom of the entire pan. Cook the Brussels sprouts until the liquid has evaporated and they're cooked through. Then, toss them with the lemon juice and serve them while they're hot.
Summary: Wash and cut the Brussels sprouts. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Place the Brussels sprouts in the pan sliced-side down and season them. Saute the Brussels sprouts. Pour 1/3 cup of water into the saucepan and finish cooking the sprouts.

If your dog appears to be itching itself more than normal but you're unsure whether it has sarcoptic mange, this simple test can help. To start, take one of your dog's ears gently in your hand. Hold the loose, floppy part of the ear between your thumb and index finger. If you're worried about the possibility of getting bitten by your dog's mange-causing mites, you may want to wear disposable gloves for this test. Use your thumb and index finger to rub the dog's ear from both sides. Use slow, steady movements and don't squeeze too tightly. While you do this, keep your eyes on the dog's hind leg on the same side as the ear you're rubbing. You're looking for a movement in the dog's hind leg like it's trying to reach up to scratch its ear. If you see this, your dog may have sarcoptic mange. In this case, you should wash your hands and take the dog to a veterinarian at your earliest convenience. This test (called the pinnal-pedal reflex test) works because, in the vast majority of sarcoptic mange cases, mites are present in and around the dog's ears. When you rub the dog's ear, it feels the irritating itching sensation caused by the mites and tries to scratch itself. While the test does confirm your dog is itchy and sensitized, it does not confirm the cause. Sarcoptic mange can be very difficult to definitively diagnose. The pinnal-pedal test may lead to a presumptive diagnosis of scabies, in which case treatment should begin as soon as possible. If your dog responds to the therapy promptly, that is considered confirmation of the diagnosis.

One-sentence summary -- Grab hold of one of the dog's ears. Gently rub the ear between your fingers. Look for an itching motion. Note that the pinnal-pedal reflex test does not give a definitive diagnosis of sarcoptic mange.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are in a wheelchair or otherwise unable to do this, do not worry. Duck your head, and cover your neck to protect it from debris. Stay as low to the ground as possible. Use one arm to cover your neck and head, in case nearby objects fall on you. If possible, hold a pillow or couch cushion over your neck to protect it from debris. Hide underneath a table or desk if you are close to one when the earthquake starts. Use surrounding items such as couch cushions to cover as much of your body as possible, as earthquake movement is unpredictable and can cause many things to fall from the walls or topple over onto the floor. Use one hand to stabilize yourself and prevent yourself from being hurt. If possible, keep close to the ground in a clear space and away from furniture.

SUMMARY:
Drop onto your hands and knees. Protect your head and neck from harm. Cover your body. Hold onto something secure.
