Well, my friends, it’s that most wonderful time of the year again. The weather is cooling off, the leaves are falling from the trees, and the trick-or-treaters have long-since eaten all their candy. So you know what that means! No, no, no. I’m not talking about Santa Paws. It’s my birthday month!
This year I am turning two years old! As a special gift, Mom decided to write me a letter. I mean, that’s nice and all. But I sure hope this doesn’t mean no birthday treats! Anyway, I decided I would share my letter with you. Thanks, Mom!

If you live in the southern, central, or mid-Atlantic areas of the United States and own a cat, you should be aware of the potentially deadly disease, Cytauxzoonosis (or bobcat fever). Cytauxzoonosis (pronounced Sight-oh-zo-un-osis) is a life-threatening disease of domestic cats. It is caused by the protozoal parasite, Cytauxzoon felis.. The disease progresses rapidly and has an extremely high mortality rate. No vaccines are available. Therefore, all cat owners should be aware of this devastating disease and how to best protect their furry companion.

The joy of sharing your life with a beloved animal is indescribable. Those who have never truly loved a pet will never understand the happiness they bring. Along with that comes the utter heartbreak when their brief time on earth comes to an end.
I have shared my life with many animals, and they are all dearly loved. But my sweet dachshund mix, Sassafras, rescued while I was but a mere vet student, quickly became my soul dog. I spent 15 beautiful years with her. And then, suddenly one day, the worst day of my life, with little time for me to prepare, she was just gone.

Nothing has the potential to create more stress and frustration in the life of a pet owner than this one little word: fleas. These tiny blood-sucking parasites are not only gross, but they can be the source of a lot of (unnecessary) discomfort for pets and owners alike. What’s worse, even one flea bite can be the source of some more serious medical conditions. But, never fear! With diligence and consistency, even the most infested pet can once again live a happy, bug-free life.
