Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a virus that infects cats. It was first identified in cats that had a form of leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells), but it is now known to cause a range of serious health problems.

FeLV depresses the immune system, making infected cats more prone to infections, anemia, and certain cancers. Like all viruses, FeLV can only reproduce inside living cells. FeLV only infects members of the cat family and is not a risk to other animal species or humans.

FeLV invades various cells of the cat's immune system and blood-forming tissues. This invasion causes the cell to die or creates a mutation (change) in the cell’s genetic code, which can make the cell potentially cancerous, although it may not happen for months to years after the infection. FeLV infection can lead to cancers in a variety of tissues, organs, and body sites. When it affects cells in the bone marrow, it can cause blood cancer like leukemia (elevated circulating white blood cells).

Ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne infectious disease that occurs in dogs and is usually carried by the brown dog tick. The organism responsible for this disease is a rickettsial organism. Rickettsiae is a specific group or “genus” of bacteria. Ehrlichia canis (E. canis) is the most common rickettsial species involved in ehrlichiosis in dogs, but other strains of the organism will occasionally be found.

The Lifesaving Benefits of Annual Bloodwork for Your Pet 🩵

Annual bloodwork is a routine wellness screening that gives us a window into how your pet’s body is functioning on the inside- long before signs of illness show up on the outside.

Most wellness panels include:

Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates red and white blood cells and platelets. This helps detect anemia, infection, inflammation, or blood disorders.
Chemistry Panel: Assesses liver and kidney function, blood sugar, electrolytes, and more.
Thyroid or Hormone Tests: Especially important for senior pets or those showing subtle behavior changes.
Additional Tests: Depending on age, breed, or symptoms, we may recommend heartworm screening or more advanced panels.

Your pet can’t tell you when something feels off- and many health conditions don’t show visible signs until they’re well advanced. That’s where bloodwork comes in. By checking internal systems on a regular basis, we can catch issues long before your pet seems sick.

Your pet’s age plays a big role in what we test for and how often we run screening panels. Senior pets, in particular, benefit from more frequent monitoring. Age-related diseases can develop quietly, and regular bloodwork helps us stay one step ahead.

Early detection means more treatment options, less intensive care, and better long-term outcomes. 🥰

Polydactyl cats are born with extra toes, most often on their front paws. It’s a genetic trait and is usually completely harmless, just an extra dose of cute. That said, those extra toes can come with a few care considerations. More toes means more nails to trim, and sometimes they grow at different angles or are easier to snag if not maintained. Most polydactyl cats live totally normal, healthy lives, but regular paw checks and nail trims are important to keep them comfortable.

A cat’s nose print is completely unique, much like a human fingerprint. The tiny ridges and patterns on their nose create a one-of-a-kind identifier.

Changes in the appearance or texture of the nose can sometimes reflect hydration or overall health, so it’s always worth paying attention to what’s normal for your cat. Noticing changes? Call us: (919) 742-4909
