HEARTWORM AWARENESS.

What is heartworm disease?

Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in pets. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure and damage to other organs in the body. Heartworm disease affects dogs, cats and ferrets, but heartworms also live in other mammal species, including wolves, coyotes, foxes, sea lions and ---in rare instances ---humans. Because wild species such as foxes and coyotes live in proximity to many urban areas, they are considered important carriers of the disease.

The dog is a natural host for heartworms, which means that heartworms that live inside the dog mature into adults, mate and produce offspring. If untreated, their numbers can increase, and dogs have been known to harbor several hundred worms in their bodies. Heartworm disease causes lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog's health and quality of life long after the parasites are gone. For this reason, administered as early in course of the disease as possible.

Feline Leukemia/ FIV Test

Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) causes a highly contagious and potentially fatal retroviral infection that weakens a cat’s immune system, making her susceptible to illness and secondary infection. Feline leukemia is a very common disease. It is often called the “friendly cat” disease as it is commonly spread from cat to cat through casual contact, such as grooming or sharing food or water. Feline leukemia virus and Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) are among the most common infectious diseases in cats. FeLV is nothing to meow about! In a study of more than 18,000 cats, 2.3% of them were positive for FeLV.

Some consider feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) to be the cat equivalent of HIV in humans. FIV causes a highly contagious and potentially fatalretroviral infection that weakens a cat’s immune system, making her susceptible to illness and secondary infection. Also, like HIV, FIV reduces the ability of the immune system to fight infection. Fortunately, despite the similarities, FIV is notzoonotic—so FIV presents no risk to humans.

FIV is often called the “fighting cat” disease as it is commonly spread from cat to cat by fighting (specifically, by biting and scratching). Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and Feline leukemia (FeLV) are among the most common infectiousdiseases in cats. FIV is nothing to meow about! In a study of more than 18,000 cats, 2.5% of them were positive for FIV.

While all cats are at risk, lifestyle, sex and vaccination status all play an important part in reducing your cat’s risk. The following increase your cat’s risk of contracting FIV:

Not having been vaccinated against feline leukemia
Spending time outside
Exposure to a cat or kitten whose infection status is unknown
Living in a multiple-cat household
Not having been spayed or neutered
Aggressive behavior toward other cats
Symptoms of oral disease
Past or present abscess wounds

This month we are offering the Feline Leukemia / FIV test for only $35.00 and we have leukemia vaccine available.
