I know a lot of cat owners out there are worried about HPAI...I feed outside cats...have chickens...have wild birds co-mingling with my flock... With the dead geese in Allentown... birds and geese migrating over our houses and fields...this is a good article about reducing risk in cats and dogs...a big thing too is removing feeders.. in this weather, I am guilty, and have yet to do that..the feeders are not close to where the cats hang but if a bird is sick and compromised I would bet the cats would kill and eat it.....the CDC also has a great article at https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/prevention/hpai-interim-recommendations.html

The FDA is providing pet owners and animal caretakers with information about ways to reduce the risk to their animals of contracting HPAI (H5N1).

Just a reminder … make sure your outside kids have access to food and fresh water in this weather .. I have heated water for all my kids and houses for the cats … shovel, plow, blow paths to make sure they have access.. I shovel paths for the goats, cats and dogs … and despite opening clinic doors my outside cats will not venture inside .. drives me insane ..

Librela...make sure to check out the Zoetis website about this drug before use...I have used it in one patient as a last ditch effort to keep him comfy his last 4 mos of life...owners were aware of all potential side effects...I will not use it in my dogs which I tell all my clients..it is another tool in our kit but there are risks to its use.....I do use the cat product though, Solensia, with many patients, incl my own two diabetics...there are side effects as well but not the same ones as the dog version

Veterinarians and pet owners are reporting adverse events associated with the use of Librela, a drug made by Zoetis to manage osteoarthritis pain in dogs, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

This is Sheila Saz.. I have her two female kittens , Specter and Litt.. yes, named after the Suits characters .. she is not my cat per se.. not sure where she actually lives but I feed her and spayed her.. and it took two years but the other week she FINALLY let me pet her!! And I cannot tell you how elated I was to finally do it !! Well I can do it when she’s eating her wet food only so once the rain stops I can treat her with Revolution to help her ear mites !! I would bring her inside along with her friend named Tabby Cat but they say they would rather be outside so they have heated houses and water bowls .. maybe one of these days I can bring them in.. I also feed Mr Black but he is quite feral and after I castrated him he hated me for months but now yells at me for his wet food and I can get about 3 ft from him without him running away .. cats.. you gotta love them !!🖤🖤🖤
