It's that time of year again and we are seeing an uptick in the number of pets with ticks.

While it's difficult to prevent your pets exposure to ticks, the best defense against these pests is a good preventative plan!

Check out this informational article on ways to protect your pet and don't forget to stop in practice to pick up some Simparica!

https://www.petsandparasites.org/dog-owners/ticks/

Ectoparasites are organisms that live on the outside of an animal. Ticks are fairly common ectoparasites of dogs (and cats).

With the recent spike in "Blasto " Cases it's important to stay knowledgeable! Check out this PAW-some post from our sister center in Muskego.

Do you know what Blastomycosis is?? Our hospitals have been seeing an influx of "Blasto" cases recently and we want you to be informed about this infection.

1. What is Blastomycosis and how is it transmitted?
Blastomyces is a fungus that is found in soil where moisture and decomposing matter (such as leaves, f***s, and other organic matter) are commonly found. Dogs contract "Blasto" one of two ways: inhaling the fungal spores into their airway, or the spores entering their skin through an open wound.

2. What are the signs of Blastomycosis in dogs?
Infected dogs can display any of the following symptoms: fever, depression, weight loss, decreased appetite, swollen lymph nodes, respiratory issues (such as coughing, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing), eye issues (such as inflammation, blindness, or swelling), limping and/or draining skin lesions.

3. Is Blastmycosis treatable?
Yes. After a pet has been diagnosed with "Blasto" they will need to take an anti-fungal medication for 4-6 months in order to fully treat the infection. Depending on the severity of the disease, some pets will need to be hospitalized and placed on supportive care while being treated. Unfortunately, not all pets will survive this infection - only about 50-75% of pets will make a full recovery.

4. How can Blastomycosis be prevented?
The only way to prevent "Blasto" is to avoid high-risk areas where the fungus may be present.

If you are concerned your pet may have been infected with Blastomycosis, please give us a call and we will be happy to help.
