WE ARE SEEING A HUGE UPTICK in BOB CAT FEVER CASES! This a very deadly disease!

Please protect your animals and keep them treated with FLEA & TICK prevention year round!!

known as Bobcat Fever, Cytauxzoonosis is a deadly, tick-borne disease affecting cats. It has a rapid disease course, with symptoms appearing 5-14 days post-exposure. Early detection is crucial, as survival rates drop drastically without treatment.

🚨 Signs to Watch For:
🔹 Lethargy, inappetence, and pale or yellow gums
🔹 High fever followed by possible hypothermia
🔹 Dehydration and signs of pain

🐱 How It Spreads:
Cats get infected from tick bites—primarily the Lone Star tick. It cannot spread directly from cat to cat.

⚠️ Who’s at Risk?
All cats, regardless of age or s*x, are susceptible if exposed to infected ticks. Peak seasons are spring, early summer, and late summer into fall.

🛑 Prevention is Key!
✅ Keep cats indoors and away from wooded or tick-infested areas
✅ Use year-round flea & tick preventatives like Revolution Plus® and Bravecto®
✅ Be mindful—dogs and even humans can bring ticks indoors

⏳ DO NOT WAIT! If you notice signs of Cytaux, seek immediate veterinary care. This disease can be fatal without aggressive treatment.

🩺 At AESC, we are here to help. Contact us for more information on protecting your pet from this dangerous disease.

In honor of National Pet Hydration Awareness Month, here are a few ways you can tell if your pet is dehydrated! Fun fact- 80% of your pets body is water, while humans are made up of only about 60% water!

With the HEATWAVE in full swing, please remember to provide your PETS AND LIVESTOCK plenty of fresh cool water and adequate shade. If possible, move smaller animals to areas with good air circulation or to a cool spot in the house such as the basement or and AC room.
