ATTENTION ALL CAT OWNERS!! MEDICAL ALERT!!
Natural Bridge Animal Hospital wants to make you aware of the presence of an emerging, life-threatening disease that has been found in our area. In fact, we have recently diagnosed a case in our own hospital. DISEASE Cytauxzoonosis, or Bobcat Fever, is a very serious tick-borne disease that often proves to be fatal. The disease is caused by a parasite that is transmitted by the bite of the Lone Star Tick, which is very common in our region. Symptoms of Cytauxzoonosis include sudden, severe illness characterized by lethargy, loss of appetite, high fever, pain, depression, and dehydration. Symptoms usually present within 5 - 14 days of infection. The disease then progresses rapidly and, once symptoms present, can lead to death within 2 - 3 days. TREATMENT Although researchers are studying new medications, there is no cure at this time. Aggressive supportive care, or humane euthanasia are the best current treatment options. Even with supportive care, many cats do not survive. PREVENTION The only defense against Cytauxzoonosis is prevention. The best prevention is to routinely and consistently apply a reputable, veterinary-approved flea and tick preventative, such as Frontline Gold or Bravecto. It is also recommended that you regularly check your cat for ticks, especially those that have access to the outdoors. If you have any further questions, or suspect your cat may be affected, please call us at 540-291-1444. |
