🐱 TICK SEASON IS HERE — AND SO IS THE RISK OF BOBCAT FEVER 🐱

You may have seen recent Arkansas news stories about Cytauxzoon felis, or “Bobcat Fever.” This serious tick-borne disease affects cats and can become life-threatening very quickly. Veterinarians across the state are urging cat owners to stay vigilant.

The good news? Prevention and early intervention can make a big difference.

✅ Keep ALL cats on year-round flea and tick prevention—even indoor cats.
✅ Check outdoor cats regularly for ticks.
✅ Seek veterinary care immediately if your cat seems “off.”

Common signs of Bobcat Fever include:
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Fever
• Hiding or decreased activity
• Pale or yellow gums/skin
• Difficulty breathing

One of the biggest challenges with this disease is how quickly it progresses. Cats can go from appearing normal to critically ill within days, so early diagnosis and treatment are critical.

Here in Arkansas, ticks are abundant, making prevention especially important for your feline family members. Studies show Cytauxzoon felis is well established in Arkansas and surrounding states.

If your cat is not currently on flea and tick prevention, or if you notice concerning symptoms, please give us a call. Early evaluation can make all the difference.
