🌟 Fun Fact Friday: Macaws! 🌟

Did you know that macaws can live up to 50–80 years? 🦜 That's a lifetime of love, laughter, and lots of care! These vibrant parrots are highly intelligent and social, requiring daily mental stimulation, interaction, and a balanced diet to stay happy and healthy.

Fun fact: Macaws have incredibly strong beaks that can crack open nuts and seeds with ease—but they also love fresh fruits, vegetables, and specially formulated pellets for optimal nutrition. 🥭🥬

Caring for a macaw means committing to providing plenty of toys to prevent boredom, spacious enclosures to stretch their wings, and regular veterinary check-ups to keep them in top shape. 💚

Macaws are as beautiful as they are fascinating, but they require lots of attention and dedication. If you’re considering one as a companion, be sure to do your research and consult with an exotic animal specialist!

🐰 Did You Know? 🐾

Check out this little one visiting us for a check-up at the hospital! 🏥💚

🚨 Important Information About Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) 🚨

The H5N1 Avian Influenza virus, commonly known as bird flu, is a highly contagious disease that primarily affects birds but can pose risks to other animals. Here’s how you can help reduce the spread and protect your pets:

🐦 Prevent Contact: Keep your pets (especially birds) away from wild birds, their droppings, and contaminated areas.

🧹 Practice Cleanliness: Regularly clean bird cages, feeders, and water dishes to prevent contamination.

🍗 Safe Feeding Practices: Avoid feeding pets raw or undercooked poultry or eggs.

🐾 Monitor Outdoor Pets: Supervise dogs and cats outdoors to prevent contact with sick or dead wildlife.

📞 Report Sick Birds: If you see sick or deceased wild birds, contact local wildlife authorities immediately.

By working together and taking simple precautions, we can help reduce the spread of this virus and protect our pets, wildlife, and communities.

💬 Have questions or concerns? Our team is here to help! Call us to learn more or schedule a consultation to discuss how you can keep your pets safe.

🐾 Fun Fact Friday: Did you know that ferrets sleep 14-18 hours a day? 😴 Their playful energy in short bursts is just another reason they’re so fun to have around!

Ferrets are naturally curious, social creatures who love exploring and interacting with their environment. 🐾 They’re also obligate carnivores, meaning their diet needs to be high in meat-based protein to keep them healthy and active. 🍖

At Catskill Veterinary Services, we specialize in exotic pet care to ensure ferrets like yours live their best lives. Whether it’s a wellness check, nutritional advice, or advanced diagnostics, we’re here for all your ferret’s needs!
