"Kapon ang Solusyon"

Has always been our motto to reduce unwanted pregnancy. Kittens are being abandoned because some people can't handle too many "cats" anymore. Adult cats whether strays or owned are being ran over by big trucks and cars at night because they can roam freely. Reasons of roaming may either be: Because they are looking for mates (cats in heat) or looking for food (if they are strays. These strays are usually abandoned as kittens or were born strays by a stray).

Other than that, sometimes we encounter owned and strays fight for a mate. Their fight may even be fatal.

These are just few examples of the many reasons why we need to "sterilize" or "kapon them". These behaviors are most oftentimes controlled by sexual hormones. We can reduce the number of strays and reduce the number of dying cats in the streets for being ran over, as well as reduce aggressive behavior.

By reducing the strays, we also help the government minimize rabies spread. It is our duty as cat owners/cat parents to give our cats the best life possible.

And. . ...Yes, neutered cats generally live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Neutering, which involves removing the testicles in male cats, or spaying (in females) helps reduce the risk of certain diseases and undesirable behaviors, leading to a longer life expectancy and improved well-being.

Ps. Kudos to the fur parents of these cattos. You made the right choice ♥️.

PSA on fake and non- FDA approved Tick and Flea preventives such as oral and topical treatments bought online!

While we are simply tied to a cheaper option for preventives and treatments to our pets, please do consider that not all products marketed online are original and safe to give to our furbabies. Some products and sellers gives false and misleading informations about preventions and cure. Branded veterinary products are expensive for a reason (i.e. undergone several studies and tests before approved for safe use).

Smokey, a beloved family cat, nearly died after receiving a counterfeit Frontline product contaminated with pirimiphos-methyl, a highly toxic insecticide for cats. He required emergency intestinal surgery and hospitalization after exposure to this fake product.

These fakes mimic real brands, but may include toxic chemicals and no actual flea protection.

Severe Fever and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome is a zoonotic disease. Which means it can be passed on to humans, from animals. Either by tick bite or through interaction of infected animals such as dogs and cats. Viral shedding may be through saliva, blood, and stool/feces. While it is not yet present in the Philippines as of the moment, still! Let's be vigilant, especially on animal importation.

FYI: The brown dog tick or Ripicephalus sanguineous tick, which is present and endemic here in the Philippines is considered as one of the occasional vectors. Importation of Dogs and Cats must be done cautiously.

Protect yourself and your fur babies. Maintain their regular tick and flea preventives and disinfection/sanitation.

By all means, DO NOT PRICK or CRUSH the ticks as it will just spread bacteria and viruses. Buy anti-tick and flea for dogs/cats and use insecticides for treating the environment. Stay safe kailyans!

A veterinarian in Japan died after treating a cat with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, a tick-borne virus. The virus can be transmitted through the bite of an infected tick or by contact with infected blood, saliva, excreta and vomit of an infected cat, dog or other animals. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15840683

Disclaimer: Patient names were omitted for privacy purposes

We have an alarming increase of patients tested positive for Ehrlichia-Babesia-Anaplasma infection (Tick-borne blood infection) and Canine Distemper (Viral infection) these past few days.

These diseases are highly fatal but also preventable.

Diseases such as Ehrlichiosis, babesiosis and anaplasmosis are transmitted by ticks. These ticks harbor these bacteria and pass them to a susceptible host (dog) during feeding. Ticks will stay on the host during feeding time, which is usually over 3-6 days and detach after engorgement.

Most of us will say, "Wala naman po kaming nakikitang tick sa kanya, pero bakit po kaya nagka tick borne infection siya?". We become complacent because we dont "see" them. Ticks are natural hunters. They hunt for a victim and feed, then detach when they're full. This is the very reason why we don't see them often. We can protect our four legged love ones by giving them regular tick and flea preventives. These preventives comes in oral form and spot ons, they are effective in killing ticks during feeding. However, ticks can still infect a dog after oral preventives - so what to do?

To double the protection, give them oral/spot ons while giving them tick/flea repellents simultaneously. Repellents come in sprays or powders. And to triple the protection, we also need to "treat" the environment to eliminate the source.

Wait, how about Canine Distemper?
Prevention is very easy. Keep your four legged babies vaccinated -both puppies and adults, YES! ADULTS NEED TO BE VACCINATED REGULARLY. Most of our CDV patients are adults w/o vaccines or adults w/o updated vaccines.

Even strictly indoor dogs get infected with CDV. "Di naman po siya nalabas, sa bahay lang po siya, bat po kaya nagka distemper siya?". The answer is, Distemper Virus is also airborne. These viruses can be suspended in air and can be disseminated by the wind for how many kilometers. Distemper viruses can also survive in cooler temperatures, meaning they are suspended in the air for longer periods during cold seasons. So they can reach our dogs without direct contact. Another mode of transmission is, via fomites. Yes! We are fomites. Our clothes and shoes may harbor viruses and we can pass them to our pets.

All in all, make sure to wash and disinfect yourself and your premises and have your four legged babies be vaccinated against Canine Distemper Virus.

Let's protect our love ones! Wanna know more about disease prevention? Come visit our clinic!

Today, our Resident Cat, NEGRO had crossed the rainbow bridge. We thank you dear NEGRO for the whole awesome 1 year you have spent with us. We will miss you deeply, the first kitty daughter of the clinic 😢😢

She was deeply loved. She was once a stray with no hope and home, but we gave it to her. We gave her a permanent home, great food, cozy bed, we vaccinated and dewormed her regularly, we gave her lots of snuggles and cuddles, not only us but also some of our dear clients also loved her. Basically, she's well provided and taken cared of. BUT someone took everything away from her in one snap, and she passed away miserably.

Secre Swallowtail Manuel-Tumayan (AKA NEGRO)
Born: March 2024
Died: May 24, 2025

PS. If her death was intentional (due to bleeding lesion in her nose), may whoever did this, I say unto you, HURTING our beloved cat has its own bad karma.
