Oh, International Cat Day, the one day a year when cats officially ignore us in even more languages! It's the purr-fect day to celebrate our feline friends who have mastered the art of lounging and judging with just one look. Whether they're knocking things off tables or curling up in a sunbeam, cats remind us that every day should be spent doing what we love—preferably with a midday nap and a snack. 🐈🐾🐈‍⬛😻

Happy International Cat Day to all our cat lovers and their felines! 😻

🐾Specialized Diagnostics: They can conduct and interpret specialized diagnostic tests, including advanced imaging techniques like CT scans and MRIs.

🐾Expert Consultations: They provide expert consultations and second opinions on difficult or unusual cases.

🐾Research and Education: They often engage in research to advance veterinary surgical techniques and may teach at veterinary schools.

🤩If you have a pet needing specialized care, consulting a board-certified veterinary surgeon can ensure they receive the highest level of expertise and treatment. Do you have any specific concerns about your pet’s health?

In pets, signs of listeriosis may include:
-Vomiting
-Diarrhea
-Fever
-Poor appetite
-Depression
-Respiratory problems
-Rare cases of neurological disease in dogs and cats

If left untreated, listeriosis can be fatal for pets. Treatment may include IV fluids and aggressive antibiotic therapy. Even with antibiotic treatment, listeriosis has a high mortality rate of 20 to 30 percent.

RECALL UPDATE: Viva Raw LLC is voluntarily recalling dog and cat foods, all manufactured under Lot 21244, due to testing positive for Listeria monocytogenes and is a potential health risk to people and pets.

The products were distributed directly to consumers in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. The product is distributed as frozen 1 lb bricks in clear vacuum packaging. There are no expiration dates for these products. Only products from Lot 21244 are affected.

The issue was discovered during a facility inspection conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and The North Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA). The FDA tested samples of Viva Turkey for Dogs and found samples from Lot 21244 were positive for Listeria monocytogenes. All products produced in Lot 21244 were slated for destruction. However, we have since learned some of the product from this lot was inadvertently released from the warehouse. More info: https://bit.ly/3XUAHnP
