What is Feline Leukemia Virus (FELV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)?? 🐱🐾

FIV is a lifelong viral infection in cats that weakens the immune system, spreads mainly through bite wounds, and cannot infect humans.

FeLV is a contagious retrovirus that infects cats, weakening their immune system and potentially causing anemia, lymphoma, and fatal disease.

We recommend testing for these diseases., which is a simple blood test. There is a vaccine to prevent feline leukemia but none for FIV.

It is at the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month that we honor all those who have served our nation. We humbly thank you for your service, your sacrifices, and your dedication.

We would like to take a moment to share a small thank you and acknowledge the veterans in our lives. These brave women and men are our spouses. Our brothers and sisters. Our sons and daughters. Our mothers and fathers. Our aunts and uncles. Our grandpas and grandmas.

They are our family. They are our friends. They are our community.

Happy Veterans Day.

Thank you for your service. ❤️

If you would like to honor a loved one here, please do so. We would love to recognize them alongside you.

Sterling Veterinary highly recommends pet insurance for your pet! 🐾

Pet insurance helps cover unexpected veterinary costs by reimbursing you for eligible expenses such as accidents, illnesses, surgeries, diagnostics, and sometimes routine care - depending on the plan.

Make sure you do research prior to committing to a plan. We’re happy to chat about our favorites - and considerations you may not have thought of for your age, breed, and size of pet. Most of us here have both personal and professional experience with multiple pet insurance companies.

Luka is reminding you to keep up on your flea and tick prevention, even in this colder weather. It just doesn’t get cold enough around here to suppress the flea life cycle. We recommend using prevention year-round in this area! Reach out or schedule an appointment to discuss the many options available for flea prevention.

We felt the need to share this! Spartan Shield is such a unique program, developed by the best and brightest to aid in the emergency and critical air transfer of law enforcement and public safety working K9s. We hope to see more programs like this!

A police dog critically injured hundreds of miles from East Lansing can now be flown to MSU for specialized emergency veterinary care through a new statewide air transport program for canine officers.

MSU College of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Medical Center partnered with Corewell Health Aero Med and North Flight Aero Med to develop Spartan Shield, Michigan’s first emergency air transport program designed to connect critically ill or injured public safety working dogs with advanced veterinary care.

This effort places MSU among a small but growing number of veterinary and air medical teams nationally that are developing dedicated emergency transport options for working dogs.
