๐Ÿพ Leptospirosis: Protect Your Dog! ๐Ÿพ

Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that can affect dogs and people. Itโ€™s found worldwide and can spread through contaminated water or soil, as well as contact with infected wildlife urine.

โš ๏ธ In dogs, leptospirosis can become very serious and may lead to kidney and/or liver failure.

๐Ÿ’‰ The good news: Vaccination is an effective way to help protect dogs from leptospirosis. Because exposure can happen to dogs regardless of lifestyle, the leptospirosis vaccine is considered a core vaccine and is recommended for all dogs.

Leptospirosis Vaccines can start at 12 weeks old. After starting the Vaccine it will need a booster in 3-4 weeks then it is given yealy.

๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’‰ FELINE LEUKEMIA (FeLV): PROTECT YOUR CAT! ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿฑ
Did you know that Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is one of the most important infectious diseases affecting cats? โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ
FeLV is a contagious virus that can weaken a catโ€™s immune system, making it harder for their body to fight infections and other illnesses. It can also cause anemia and certain types of cancer.
HOW IS FELINE LEUKEMIA SPREAD?
FeLV is primarily spread through close contact between cats, including: ๐Ÿฑ Mutual grooming ๐Ÿฅฃ Sharing food and water bowls ๐Ÿ’ง Contact with an infected catโ€™s saliva ๐Ÿคฑ An infected mother cat passing the virus to her kittens ๐Ÿพ Bite wounds from infected cats
Cats who go outdoors or live with FeLV-positive cats may be at greater risk.
๐Ÿ˜ฟ WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF FELINE LEUKEMIA?
Some cats may not show symptoms for months or even years. Signs can include:
โš–๏ธ Weight loss
๐Ÿ˜ด Lethargy and weakness
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Loss of appetite
๐ŸŒก๏ธ Persistent fever
๐Ÿฆท Pale gums and anemia
๐Ÿคง Recurrent infections
๐Ÿฉบ Enlarged lymph nodes
Unfortunately, there is no cure for FeLV, but veterinary care and early detection can help infected cats maintain a good quality of life.
๐Ÿ’‰ THE GOOD NEWS: THERE IS A VACCINE!
๐Ÿฑ Kittens: FeLV vaccination can begin as early as 12 weeks of age, with a second dose typically given 3โ€“4 weeks later. (Recommended for all kittens in the first year of life)
๐Ÿฑ Adult cats: Vaccination recommendations depend on your catโ€™s lifestyle and risk of exposure. Cats with outdoor access or contact with cats of unknown FeLV status may benefit from vaccination.
๐Ÿ“… A booster is generally recommended 1 year after the initial series. After that, booster frequency depends on your catโ€™s ongoing risk.
โค๏ธ IMPORTANT TO KNOW: FeLV testing is recommended before vaccination because the vaccine does not treat an existing infection. Your veterinarian can help determine the appropriate testing and prevention plan.
๐Ÿพ Indoor cats need protection, too! Even cats who live indoors can encounter unexpected exposure, so talk with your veterinarian about your catโ€™s individual risk.
โค๏ธ A simple vaccine and a conversation with your veterinarian can make a big difference in protecting your feline family member! See less

๐Ÿพ Blaze came in for his senior annual exam! ๐Ÿพ

As our pets get older, regular wellness exams become even more important. Senior visits help us monitor changes in weight, dental health, mobility, and organ function, while routine screening can help catch potential health concerns early. โค๏ธ

By the end of his appointment, Blaze was ready to head home and was found sitting right next to his carrier like, โ€œCome on, Mom, letโ€™s go!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Blaze turns 15 years old today so weโ€™re wishing this handsome guy a Happy Birthday! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’‰ FVRCP: A VITAL VACCINE FOR YOUR CAT! ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿฑ

Did you know the FVRCP vaccine helps protect your cat against three serious and potentially life-threatening diseases? โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

Letโ€™s break down what it protects against!

๐Ÿพ 1. Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis Caused by feline herpesvirus, this highly contagious respiratory disease can cause: ๐Ÿคง Sneezing and a runny nose ๐Ÿ‘€ Eye discharge ๐Ÿ’ง Drooling ๐Ÿ˜ฟ Lethargy and loss of appetite

Without proper care, severe cases can lead to dehydration and other serious complications.

๐Ÿพ 2. Calicivirus Another common feline respiratory virus, calicivirus can cause: ๐Ÿคง Sneezing and respiratory symptoms ๐Ÿ‘„ Painful ulcers in the mouth ๐Ÿ˜ฟ Loss of appetite and discomfort

In severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia. Kittens, senior cats, and cats with weakened immune systems can be especially vulnerable.

๐Ÿพ 3. Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper) This highly contagious and potentially deadly virus is especially dangerous for unvaccinated kittens. Symptoms may include: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Fever ๐Ÿคฎ Vomiting ๐Ÿฉธ Bloody diarrhea ๐Ÿ˜ฟ Severe weakness and dehydration

Panleukopenia can progress rapidly, making immediate veterinary attention essential. Without intervention, a cat can die within 12 hours of contracting the disease.

๐Ÿ’‰ WHEN SHOULD YOUR CAT BE VACCINATED?

๐Ÿฑ Kittens: Vaccination typically begins at 6โ€“8 weeks of age, with boosters every 3โ€“4 weeks until at least 16 weeks of age.

๐Ÿฑ After the kitten series: A booster is generally recommended 1 year later and then every 3 years.

โค๏ธ Prevention is always better than treatment! Keeping your cat up to date on vaccinations is one of the most important ways to help protect their health and give them the best chance at a long, happy life. ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿ“… Is your cat due for vaccines? Contact your veterinarian to make sure your furry family member is protected!

Medical Pet Shirts & Cone Collars
Medical pet shirts and cone collars, also known as Elizabethan collars, are great tools for keeping pets safe while they heal! Whether your pet is recovering from a surgical procedure or needs to be prevented from itching or licking a hot spot, both options have many helpful uses.

One of the most common uses we see is after spays and neuters. A medical shirt can be a great option because it helps prevent pets from reaching their incision while still allowing them to see normally and move their heads freely. Many pets also adapt to a shirt more quickly than they do to a cone.

A cone, however, can be the better choice for pets who like to chew or pull at fabric, or when the area that needs protection is outside the coverage of a medical shirt. This can include situations such as a male cat recovering from a neuter or a pet recovering from a procedure involving a mass or wound on the leg.

Both options can be usefulโ€”it really depends on your pet, their procedure, and what area needs protection during recovery!
