🚨 Awareness for Cat Owners 🚨

Bobcat Fever, also known as Cytauxzoonosis, is unfortunately on the rise in Middle Tennessee — and our doctors have personally diagnosed several cases just this week alone.

This serious tick-borne disease can become life-threatening very quickly. We have personally seen this disease affect cats that are indoor only. That means even cats who never go outside are still at risk if ticks make their way indoors on people, pets, or clothing.

The best protection is keeping your cat on consistent, year-round flea & tick prevention. Prevention truly can save lives.

Signs of Bobcat Fever may include:
• Lethargy or weakness
• Loss of appetite
• Fever
• Vomiting
• Hiding or acting painful
• Difficulty breathing
• Pale or yellow gums

If your cat is showing any of these symptoms, please have them seen as soon as possible. Blue Pearl, VEG, and NVS are always available after hours. Early detection and treatment are critical. 🐾
