National Take Your Cat To The Vet Day!
Rehm Animal Clinic recommends annual examinations for all healthy younger cats and for senior cats (>7 years of age) twice annually for examination. During the examination, your cat’s veterinarian will monitor your cat’s weight and body condition score as a measure of his/her overall health. The American Association of Feline Practitioners recommends the minimum database in senior cats include a complete blood count, chemistry screen, and urinalysis. Once cats pass their 10th birthday, testing thyroid function and blood pressure are recommended. Together, you and the veterinarians will discuss your cat’s lifestyle and decide on what preventive healthcare measures are required to keep you cat in tip top condition. The preventive measures include: vaccinations, parasite prevention, behavioral interventions and nutritional recommendations. Your cat’s veterinarian may suggest testing for occult infections such as feline immunodeficiency virus, feline leukemia virus and feline heartworms as well.

Everyone loves a #dead mosquito. The disease-spreading pesky insects are best after an open hand splat. We can keep them away with sprays and torches, but mother nature kills them off, too.
Though they populate with ease in the water, they are not always impervious to cold weather. That’s good news.
The bad news is that some of them have a type of natural “anti-freeze” in their system and can stay cozy and warm under inches of snow.
So, you may be asking "Is my dog safe from heartworms in the winter?" What temperature kills mosquitoes? And how do some of them survive the winter?
Here’s everything you need to know about how some skeeters batten down the hatches in winter and why Fluffy needs prevention, year round.
What Temperature Kills Mosquitoes?
Mosquitoes are found worldwide, except in Antarctica. Different species adapt to varying ecosystems (forests or urban) and a wide range of climates (tropical, temperate, polar).
Research suggests that the Aedes albopictus in the south of the US had more trouble overwintering than the same species in the north. This shows that some species can adapt rapidly to climatic conditions.
The mosquitoes we most want to die are the females! This is because male mosquitoes don’t bite or lay eggs.
Of the 3500 strains of the insects, most start shutting down at temperatures of 50°f and lower. Being cold-blooded, they can’t regulate their own temperature, so they are affected by the cold.
In certain species, the shorter autumn days trigger a state similar to hibernation in other animals. Their metabolism slows as they wait for the return of warmer weather.
Some females don’t go down without leaving their offspring, though. They can lay their eggs in water (even if it’s frozen) before perishing. A mass kill of mosquitos would take several days of sub-zero temperatures (which would be the equivalent of a zombie apocalypse here in South Alabama, but HEY, we all know that day is coming eventually, right?)
