Hi WAC Family! A client of ours has two adorable and loving kittens looking for a home. They want pets and snuggles all the time. They think there is one male and one female. If you or someone you know may be interested, please call the clinic and we will get you in touch. *These kittens are not at the clinic*

One of the best gifts you can give your pet is adequate socialization. Pets that are socialized at a young age have fewer behavior problems later in life. You can help accomplish this with obedience classes and safe introductions to new situations, new people, and other pets.

‼️Public Service Announcement for cat owners‼️

We have been seeing info about Bobcat Fever in other parts of Arkansas, but we just learned someone we know in the Jonesboro area has now lost their beloved cat to this terrible disease....so it is here too. We want to make sure you are aware & prepared.

Bobcat fever (also called cytauxzoonosis) is a deadly tick-borne disease that affects domestic cats. It is carried by wild bobcats and spread when an infected tick (often the Lone Star tick) bites your cat. There is no vaccine, and without fast treatment, it can be fatal in just a few days.

Key signs to watch for:
- Sudden loss of energy or hiding more than usual
- Not wanting to eat or drink
- High fever
- Pale or yellow gums, yellowing of eyes or skin (jaundice)
- Fast breathing, weakness, or just not acting normal

If you see any of these signs, especially during tick season, treat it as an emergency and call your vet immediately. Early treatment is the only chance for survival.

How it’s transmitted:
- Bobcats act as natural carriers of the parasite.
- A tick feeds on an infected bobcat, then bites a domestic cat and passes on the infection.
- Cats do not give bobcat fever directly to each other; it’s all through tick bites.

How to help prevent bobcat fever:
- Keep cats indoors as much as possible, especially in wooded or rural areas.
- Use year-round, vet-recommended tick prevention for all cats (and dogs in the home).
- Check your cats daily for ticks, especially March–September.
- Keep grass mowed, clear brush/leaf litter, and treat high-risk outdoor areas for ticks.

Please do your best to keep your feline friends safe!

Friendly reminder about third party pharmacy orders 🙂

We are always happy for clients to use third-party pharmacies for heartworm, flea/tick prevention, and other medications if they choose. To help us process your requests as quickly as possible, please place the order using the SAME name (and pet name) that we have on file at the clinic.

When orders come through under a different name, it can be very difficult to match them to the correct account. This often causes delays and requires staff to spend extra time trying to track down who the prescription belongs to.

Using the name we have on file helps us approve your pet's medications faster, keeps it accurate, and helps everything run smoothly for everyone. We truly appreciate your help with this!
