How do you know if your cat is sick? Cats are very good at hiding signs of illness. The first signs are usually subtle behavior changes that indicate there's an underlying issue. Keep an eye out for these signs, and follow the tips below to keep your cat happy and healthy!

Is your cat showing any of these common signs of joint disease? Ask us about Solensia, a once monthly injection to treat osteoarthritis pain! 🐱

Cats are very good at hiding signs of pain, so it may be hard to determine. Watch your cat for signs of arthritis, including less interest in play, bunny hopping with rear feet, and trouble jumping.

National Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) Awareness, Research and Education Day. 🐱

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral disease of cats caused by certain strains of a virus called the feline coronavirus. FIP generally occurs in one of two forms, a “wet form” in which fluid accumulates in body cavities like the abdomen and/or chest, and a “dry form” that affects the central nervous system, resulting in neurologic signs. Once a cat develops clinical FIP, the disease is usually progressive and almost always fatal without therapy.

⚠ We're now beginning to see tick-borne diseases in cats emerging in our area!

We have now had multiple cats test positive for tick borne diseases, such as Lyme Disease and Anaplasma. It's been believed in the past that cats are highly resistant to Lyme disease, but that has been proven otherwise with the increase in Lyme prevalence. Although a vaccine is available to protect dogs against Lyme disease, no such vaccine has been developed for cats. However, a cat can be protected to an extent with year-round vet recommended tick control, such as Bravecto.

Animals can develop cataracts from age, but another common cause in dogs is diabetes. Cataracts cause the lens of the eye to become white and opaque. This impairs vision, especially in low light settings. Cataracts can cause other issues in the eye including glaucoma and lens luxation.

There is a surgery to remove cataracts, but it does come at a cost. The cataract is removed from the eye surgically, and a new lens is implanted into the eye. Once the new lens is in place, there is no chance for recurrence of a cataract!

It's Peanut Butter Lovers Month! 🥜

Peanut butter is a popular treat, but some types of peanut butter can be toxic to our pets! Specific formulas of peanut butter, such as sugar-free, include an ingredient called Xylitol. It is very toxic to animals, and can lead to symptoms including low blood sugar, diarrhea, seizures, liver failure, and even death. Check your peanut butter jar for the toxic ingredients listed below before sharing with your four-legged friends!
