😼💥 Big news out of Tulare! 💥😼

Our very own Dr. Jake Gomez just had research published in the journal One Health about a real-life cat flu outbreak (yep, bird flu jumping into house cats 🐦➡️🐱).

The study shows that while H5N1 can be scary, early vet care + the right treatment = survival is possible. Even better? Cats that recovered built up strong antibodies like tiny furry superheroes. 🦸‍♂️🐾

We’re beyond proud to see Cross Street Vet on the frontlines of research that protects pets and people. 🌍💉

✨ Reminder: preventive care is your pet’s best shield. Give us a call to book their next wellness check!

COLLEGE PARK, Md - Bird flu hits cats particularly hard. Just last week an infected cat was euthanized in California after eating raw pet food.

🌟 Tiny but mighty! 🌟

This sweet hamster named Marsha is back for a recheck after her enucleation (eye removal) surgery and we are thrilled to report she's healing wonderfully! 🐹💖

Enucleations are sometimes necessary when an eye is badly injured or diseased, and while it may look like a big surgery, pets like this little one bounce back incredibly fast. Hamsters are resilient, and with proper care, they can continue to live full, happy lives, even with one eye. 👀✨

We are so proud of this brave patient and their dedicated family for giving them the best care possible. 💕And a special thanks to Dr. Jake, who preformed the surgery and help this little one!

👉 Remember: if you ever notice changes in your pet’s eyes, like swelling, redness, or discharge, do NOT wait! Early treatment makes all the difference. Schedule a check-up today to keep those peepers (or peeper!) healthy.
