Summer cookouts are fun for the whole family, but be aware of a hidden danger on your table: the corncob. While corn itself is safe, the cob can cause serious problems for pets, as it cannot be broken down in the stomach and often leads to intestinal blockages that require surgery.

To keep your pets safe, ensure they are kept away from human foods and that all foods and trash are out of their reach.

If you suspect your pet has ingested something they shouldn't, call our office to speak with a staff member who can help determine if your pet needs to be seen by a veterinarian.

Today is Feline Leukemia Day. Let’s learn more about this serious and often misunderstood disease affecting our beloved cats. FeLV is a contagious virus that weakens a cat's immune system, making them more susceptible to infections and other illnesses.

What You Need to Know:

Transmission: FeLV spreads through close contact between cats, including grooming, sharing food or water bowls, and bite wounds.

Symptoms: Common signs include lethargy, weight loss, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and recurring infections. Some cats may not show symptoms immediately but can still spread the virus.

Prevention:
Vaccination: Ensure your cat is vaccinated against FeLV, especially if they go outdoors or live in multi-cat households.

Testing: Regularly test your cat for FeLV, particularly if they are exposed to other cats.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our feline companions. Let’s work towards a future where every cat can live a happy, healthy life free from Feline Leukemia.
