The tick population in Nova Scotia is exploding and ticks can be active anytime the temperature is just above freezing - so basically year round now. BUT we are heading into 'tick season'. Check out this website, an excellent resource. They also provide a free app you can download for tick identification. If your pet(s) goes outdoors then tick protection is recommended... please contact/discuss with your veterinarian.

A public platform for image-based identification and population monitoring of ticks in Canada.

Did you know that cats are among the hardest animals to read when experiencing discomfort? 🐈‍⬛

For centuries, cats have done their very best at hiding any and all possible signs pointing to pain or illness as a means of survival—and this still carries true today.

Knowing the possible warning signs for pain in cats may be crucial as a feline pet owner. 🐱According to the Cornell Feline Health Center, here are 6 potential signs that your cat may be feeling off:
🐾 Noticeable changes in body language
🐾 Changes in appetite
🐾 Changes in grooming habits
🐾 Facial expressions
🐾 Avoiding the litter box
🐾 Reduced activity
🐾 Vocalizing
🐾 Sudden/unexpected aggression
🐾 Hiding

If you believe your cat may be experiencing pain or discomfort, schedule an appointment with your local primary care veterinarian as soon as possible. Should you need us at any time, CUVS is open 24/7/365. ⏰ Call 203.595.2777 or visit cuvs.org for more information.
