Common feline infectious diseases:
*Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV).
FIV and FeLV infections are major causes of illness and death in cats. Both viruses are spread
contagiously from cat to cat. Even healthy cats can harbor infection and spread the diseases.
FIV is typically spread when one cat bites another. FeLV is spread when blood, saliva or urine of
an infected cat comes in contact with another cat. This can happen when cats fight, groom each
other, share food and water bowls or litter boxes. Kittens born to infected mothers are commonly
infected as well.
*Early detection will not only help you maintain the health of your cat, but will also allow you to
prevent spreading disease to other cats.
*Testing and diagnosis is quite simple. A small blood sample is needed and testing is done
"in-house" with results in minutes.
When should your cat be tested?
* If it's never been tested before.
* If it's sick or you suspect exposure to an infected cat
* If it is a new cat or has been around a new cat
Early signs of infection are:
* Decreased appetite
* Decreased grooming
* Decreased energy
Advanced signs are:
* Marked loss of appetite * Weight loss
* Weakness * Pale Gums
* Mouth sores * Diarrhea
* Enlarged lymph nodes * Abscesses
* Chronic ear disease

Fleas
Our feline friends are not exempt from fleas, even the
indoor ones! A few fleas can quickly turn into a big
problem. In fact, less than 10% of the flea population
will be on the animal. The rest reside in the
environment as eggs and larvae. To prevent an
infestation of your home, treat your cats with Frontline.
