WHAT’S NEW IN OUR WEB SITE LIBRARIES (since last month)

CYTAUXZOONOSIS IN THE CAT
Cytauxzoonosis is not a problem in our area, but we have received many requests to include this terrible infection in our library so we are adding it. This infection is almost always fatal approximately three weeks after an infected tick bites the cat, though thankfully a less virulent strain of infection seems to be emerging. The infection is most common in the Southern U.S. where anyone who has an outdoor cat near a wooded area should be aware of this infection. Check out the newest page in The Pet Web Library.

SPINOSAD
It has been over 10 years since Advantage, Frontline and Program changed flea control forever. Questions of flea resistance have been raised and largely dismissed but the fact remains that a faster acting flea product would be highly desirable. At last we have one. Please read the newest page in the Pharmacy Center for more details.
