Distemper in dogs

JAPAN – A veterinarian from Mie Prefecture who treated cats infected with ixodid tick-borne disease has died from the same illness, the local veterinarians' association said.

The Mie prefectural veterinarians' association believed the doctor, who was in his 50s, have contracted "severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome" or SFTS from one of the cats.

With this alert from the veterinarians' association, the Japan Veterinary Medical Association called on their fellow their doctors to treat animals with caution.

Based on a report by the prefectural association in Mie, the veterinarian started treating two cats, both are 9-months old, one male and female.

These two cats have shown signs of SFTS for 7-10 days in late April, and the veterinarian sent samples to a private testing facility.

On May 6, the veterinarian started experiencing lethargy and loss of appetite. Two days later, he was rushed to the hospital after experiencing breathing difficulties.

Tests confirmed that the veterinarian had SFTS, and eventually died on May 12. No tick bites marks were found on the body, based on the autopsy report.

THE VETERINARIAN DIED, BUT THE CATS SURVIVED

The public health center investigated the animal hospital where the infected cats were treated.

After the investigation, it was confirmed that neither hospital staff nor owners of the animal hospital showed symptoms of SFTS, while the cats have recovered.

WHAT IS SFTS?

SFTS is an infectious disease caused by bunyavirus that is transmitted mainly through bites from ticks.

It has an incubation period of about six to 14 days before symptoms show such as high fever, diarrhea, vomiting and has a high fatality rate of 30%.

This illness has no known cure yet.

A PRECAUTION TO VETERINARIANS

The Veterinary Medical Association in Japan issued an alert, urging veterinarians to wear protective gear such as masks, gloves, and even shields when handling animals or carcasses.

Authorities in Mie are investigation the source of the infection.

Officials advised the public use tick repellents, wear long sleeves and trousers in grassy areas and to take precaution when handling sick or stray animals.

How Much Is a Vet Consultation? The Real Answer Might Surprise You

Why “Tingin Lang” Isn’t What You Think It Is

“Doc, magkano pa-consult?”
“Check-up lang naman, bakit may bayad?”
“Libre ba ang tingin?”

We hear these questions almost every day. And while we understand where they’re coming from, it’s time to clear the air and explain what a veterinary consultation really means—and why it’s one of the most undervalued services in the Philippines.

👀 “Tingin lang” is not just tingin. It’s clinical judgment.

When a vet examines your pet, we’re not just “looking.”
We’re:

Listening to their breathing and heart rate

Assessing hydration status, pain, fever, and weight loss

Interpreting symptoms based on history, environment, and breed predisposition

Considering possible differentials in our head

Forming a treatment plan

That’s not “tingin.”
That’s medical decision-making.

You’re not paying us just to see.
You’re paying us to know what to look for— and what to do next.

💡 What You’re Actually Paying For During a Vet Consult

Let’s break it down:

📚 6 Years of Veterinary Education:
In the Philippines, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) is a 6-year program—2 years of pre-vet, and 4 years of core vet medicine subjects, ending with clinical rotations and field work.

🧠 Board Exams + Continuous Learning:
Vets study for years to pass the PRC Veterinary Licensure Exam, and many continue to attend trainings, seminars, and certifications even after.

🩺 Facility Use and Support:
You’re using the clinic, equipment, and the assistance of trained staff.

⏰ Time and Focus:
Whether it’s 10 minutes or 45, your pet is being assessed with full attention, urgency, and professional care.

Just because we’re not doing surgery or bloodwork yet doesn’t mean “walang nangyari.”
Intellectual work is invisible—but it’s the foundation of every successful treatment.

⚖️ You Pay for Expertise, Not Just Action

Ever had a mechanic say, “The problem’s just a loose wire”?
Then he charges ₱1,500—not for the 2-minute fix, but for knowing where to look.

Same with vets.
Sometimes the best consults are the ones that prevent unnecessary medication, tests, or worse—complications.

💬 A favorite quote:
“You’re not paying me for 5 minutes. You’re paying me for the 6 years it took to learn what to do in those 5 minutes.”

🇵🇭 In the Philippine Setting...

We know—it’s common to expect consults to be free, especially in rural areas or low-cost clinics.
But this mindset often overlooks the value behind what seems like a “simple check-up.”

You’re not just paying for a glance.
🐾 You’re paying for years of training, the depth of judgment, and the safety of knowing your pet is in qualified hands.

🩺 A Vet Consult Can Save a Life Before It’s in Danger

Sometimes it ends with simple meds.
Sometimes we catch something early—before it becomes a ₱50,000 emergency.

That alone is worth far more than any consultation fee.

Because when you pay for a consult, you're not just buying advice.
You're buying peace of mind.
You're buying prevention.
You're buying time.

🙌 So, How Much Is a Vet Consult Really Worth?

It’s worth every peso it takes to:

✅ Catch a problem early
✅ Avoid unnecessary suffering
✅ Get the right diagnosis and plan
✅ Know that your pet is in capable, educated hands

So next time you ask, “Doc, magkano pa-consult?”
Know that it’s not just a fee.
It’s a small investment in the life of someone you love.

And that?
That’s priceless.
