Gearing up for the Greater Binghamton Bridge Run
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Our area's premier running race is set to run for its 15th time this Sunday. The Greater Binghamton Bridge Run is organized by the Greater Binghamton Chamber. It starts and ends at Mirabito Stadium and crosses 4 bridges over the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers while weaving through the city. The half marathon and 2-person half marathon relay begin at 7:30 a.m. The 5-K starts at 9:30. At 10:45, there's a Kids Fun Run in the baseball stadium outfield with Rumble Ponies mascots Rowdy and Ruby. Chamber President and CEO Stacey Duncan served as Race Director for the first Bridge Run. 'It provides wellness, a place to gather, a showcase of our amazing natural and historic assets, some competitive fun of course, and lastly, one of our goals with the first Bridge Run and until today, and we'll continue this, it gives us an opportunity to partner with a great local non-profit as our charity partner every year,' Duncan said. This year's charity partner is the Broome County Urban League.

Centipede Bite Hurts Like Bee Sting
Q: Panda, our black and white tuxedo cat who also responds to the more fitting name of Pandemonium, plays with the centipedes in our bathroom. If she eats one, could it harm her? A: No, but eating too many of them could result in stomach upset. The greater concern is that centipedes bite, and the bite feels like a bee sting. Centipedes don't actually use their mouthparts to bite, but their first pair of legs has pincers called forcipules that puncture ants, cockroaches, worms, and other small creatures, injecting venom that paralyzes them. The venom of the small, delicate centipedes so common in damp areas of the home isn't dangerous to a cat, but if Panda tangles with a centipede's forcipules, the wound will hurt, and she'll need to see her veterinarian for wound care and pain relief. Perhaps that will teach her not to play with centipedes. On the other hand, the venom of the large tropical centipedes that some people keep as pets is very dangerous to cats, dogs, and humans. If anyone in your family has one of these large tropical centipedes, keep Panda far away from it. If you want to get rid of your bathroom centipedes, use a piece of paper to herd them into a glass, cover the glass with the paper, and escort the centipedes outside for release into the wild. Related Stories 6/17/2023 8/29/2015 Q: Rowdy, our 9-year-old cocker spaniel, suddenly started squinting. His eye is bloodshot, the surface looks foggy, and I think the pupil is larger than in the other eye. What is wrong with his eye? Will it resolve on its own, or should he see his veterinarian? A: Whenever you see any change in your pet's eye(s), you should get him to the veterinarian immediately. Eyes can deteriorate rapidly, and Rowdy's vision is at stake. The clinical signs you describe are typical of glaucoma, which induces pain and blindness if not treated immediately. Glaucoma results from increased pressure within the eye caused by impaired drainage of the fluid in the front of the eye. While glaucoma can affect any dog, certain breeds are predisposed, including the Akita, basset hound, beagle, Bouvier des Flandres, Cairn terrier, chow chow, cocker spaniel, Norwegian elkhound, Samoyed, shar-pei, shiba inu, and shih tzu. Middle-aged dogs are most often affected. The condition develops rapidly in dogs. As pressure within the eye increases, the white of the eye becomes red, and the clear cornea becomes cloudy or develops a bluish hue. The pupil dilates, and pain causes the dog to squint. Glaucoma is an emergency in dogs because it can quickly result in permanent blindness. Take Rowdy to the veterinarian, who will check the pressure in his eyes. Fortunately, this test is quick and painless. If Rowdy has glaucoma, your veterinarian will immediately begin treatment and perhaps refer you to a veterinary ophthalmologist for follow-up care. Treatment for the eye with glaucoma includes medications to decrease the pressure, stop the pain and prevent blindness. Surgery also may be helpful. In addition, your veterinarian may recommend treating Rowdy's good eye to delay the onset of glaucoma there. Eye drops and oral medications are available. Humans develop glaucoma, too, though more slowly than dogs, so it's easier to detect and treat before it causes permanent damage. Ask your eye doctor how often you should be checked for glaucoma.
