Avian Influenza (H5N1) in Cats

Though rare, H5N1, or bird flu, can be contracted by cats. There is considered to be low risk of cat-to-human transmission.

We recommend cats remain indoors away from wild birds and poultry.

Avoid feeding raw or unpasteurized dairy.

Decontaminate before seeing your pet if you work in agriculture or with farm animals.

💐Flowers and bouquets can pose a serious or even fatal risk to pets, for example all species of lilies (and their pollen) are toxic to cats
🍫Chocolate can be life-threatening if ingested by pets
🍭Many sugar alternatives are also dangerous to pets, particularly xylitol
💝Cats and dogs are curious creatures, be sure that decor, gifts and wrapping, candles, and other holiday traditions are kept out of your pet’s reach

It is hard to believe that we have been grieving the loss of Dr. Larry Silberg for 2 years. The staff of Doorbell Vet have been participating in an activity to help keep his memory alive, affectionately dubbed “Larry Rocks”. Staff members have expressed love and creativity by designing and crafting commemorative rocks for a memorial rock garden in Dr. Larry’s name.

We’d love to extend the invitation to our clients and loved ones of Dr. Larry to feel free to add their own contributions to the “Larry Rocks” memorial rock garden. You may drop off your contribution to Doorbell Vet during regular business hours. Location of the rock garden is currently TBD due to weather conditions.
