EMERGING DEADLY FELINE DISEASE UPDATE:

Cytauxzoon felis (bobcat fever) is a life-threatening protazoal disease in our pet cats. Bobcats (common in Bloomington) serve as the reservoir host and the disease is spread via ticks (especially the lone star tick) to our pet cats. Case numbers have been on the rise in southern Indiana and cats are dying from this disease. Sadly, even with treatment many cats do not recover once infected. The key to protecting your cat is tick prevention. The safest place for your cat is indoors. For cats with outdoor exposure it is critically important to have them on a safe and effective cat flea/ tick prevention. For our indoor/ outdoor cats we recommend using monthly topical Revolution Plus.

Learn about the veterinary topic of Cytauxzoonosis in Cats. Find specific details on this topic and related topics from the Merck Vet Manual.

WARNING: USING TOPICAL DOG FLEA/TICK/MOSQUITO PREVENTATIVES ON CATS CAN BE LIFE THREATENING.

We love to see pet parents regularly using preventatives on their pets, but it is so important to make sure the products you are using on your feline friends are for cats. We have unfortunately seen an uptick of dog flea/tick topicals being used on cats by mistake. The patient in this video experienced a serious/ life threatening (Permethrin) toxicity due to topical mosquito repellent/ ectoparasiticide (flea/tick) canine products. The owners noticed their mistake, immediately bathed the cat and came in for medical treatment. It is due to this quick intervention that the cat is home and doing well.

It is critically important to use a cat safe product on cats.

For outdoor/indoor cats we recommend Revolution Plus (prevents; heartworm, flea/tick, intestinal parasites, and mites) topical.
For indoor cats we recommend Catego topical or Credelio oral for flea/tick prevention.

Canine topical products such as Canine Frontline Shield, Vectra 3D for Dogs, and K9 Advantix contain Permethrin and are deadly for cats and should never be applied.
