Spring is here!!
 
Flea & Tick season is here!
 
 

Fleas and Ticks can be nasty critters.  They can spread diseases to your pet.  Here in Albuquerque, fleas aren't as prevelent as ticks. 
 
Ticks can carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, encephalitis, tick paralysis, and Lyme disease, so it is important to prevent tick infestations in your dog. Using a topical product called Frontline Topspot can help in the prevention of fleas and ticks.  During the month of May, we will be offering a discount on Topspot.  Buy a 6 month supply and get 5% off.  Buy a year supply, and receive 10% off.  Mention this ad when refilling Topspot or when using for the first time!

Springtime is not always about fleas and ticks. It can also be a time for your outdoor kitty to be exposed to diseases as well.  One of the major health concerns for your cat is Feline Leukemia.
 
What is Feline Leukemia Virus?
Feline Leukemia Virus (FELV) is a retrovirus that cannot be cured.  Cats can be exposed to this virus when they come into contact with body fluids (saliva,blood,milk,etc) from infected cats.  This means FELV can be transmitted through fighting,mating,mutual grooming & sharing food dishes.  The virus does not survive long in the environment (only about 3 min), so owners cannot carry the virus on clothing or shoes to their cats if around an infected cat.   Cats positive for FELV can develop cancerous leukemia or malignancy of the white blood cells.  Positive cats may also become ill from anemia, respiratory infections, or other types of cancer.  Cats diagnosed with FELV can live several years illness free.  Many diseases associated with the virus, such as respiratory infections, can be successfully treated.  There is an effective vaccine to protect healthy cats from FELV.  Cats should be tested using an in house, 10min test, prior to being vaccinated to ensure they are healthy.  Cats positive for FELV should not be vaccinated, as this may cause induction of illness.  We recommend all kittens and cats entering your household be tested for FELV.  Stop in today to test your new kitten!!

As an animal ages many of the normal organ functions gradually begin to change. Their eyes, ears, heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys may start to function less optimally, possibly leading to significant medical problems. Consult the doctor to find out if your pet is at risk
