Dear friends and clients, I am attaching a link from Lex 18 regarding Cytaux, also known as Bobcat Fever.

This is a disease transmitted by ticks that is very aggressive and often fatal. Key points to remember:
* Outdoor cats are at higher risk because it transmitted by tick bites
* Incubation period is approximately 2 weeks
* Symptoms are high fever, anorexia, jaundice
* Treatment is aggressive - IV fluids, medications, blood transfusions
* Prevention against ticks is key to protecting cats from being bitten (over the counter flea and tick products are not always effective)

If you suspect your cat may be experiencing these symptoms, early treatment is key...please contact us or your veterinarian as soon as possible.

I just wanted to make an informational post for you. Over the past 2 weeks, Buck Creek Animal Clinic has lost 3 sweet canine patients to lymphoma. It is a terrible disease, a type of blood cancer affecting white blood cells. If caught early, it can be treated to hopefully put it into remission or significantly slow the progress of the disease.

One of the tell-tale signs of this disease is swelling of the lymph nodes. Often, this happens before onset of symptoms (feeling sick). Other symptoms are fever, lethargy, and weight loss.

One of the things you can do is feel the lymph nodes on your dog to get a baseline. Normally, they are about the size of lima beans. If they are bigger than this or enlarged in one or more of the places in the diagram below, please contact us!!! There is also a test available to screen for lymphoma and identify the type of lymphoma.

In cats, it more frequently affects the intestines, lymph nodes in the chest, and liver.

If you would like us to examine your pet or have questions, please contact us to schedule a consultation.

Sincerely,
Dr. Tammie
