Do dogs and cats suffer from Hypertension?
You thought you were the only one in the family with high blood pressure? Cats and dogs can suffer from hypertension, too, even though they often show no obvious clinical signs.
Recognizing and treating hypertension is a relatively recent development in veterinary medicine. Treatments for the hypertensive pet may include a low-salt diet and blood pressure-reducing medication. In pets, hypertension is almost always secondary to some other disorder such as kidney disease, thyroid disease, or diabetes. So the chance of successfully treating the hypertension increases many-fold if you are able to eradicate the underlying disease.
Can MRSA infections pass from me to my pet and vice versa?
MRSA is a staph bacteria that’s resistant to common antibiotics. It may start as a skin infection or abscess, and then become more serious as it gets into the blood stream and organs.MRSA impacts humans and pets, and can be passed back and forth. So if it shows up in your pets, don’t assume they’re the only ones affected.
Armando Hoet, Coordinator of the Veterinary Public Health Program at Ohio State University, says, “most likely they are a sentinel, telling us that somebody else has it.” He advises doctors and veterinarians to work together to screen, treat, and manage the illness in the household.
And as always, good hygiene is your best prevention. Wash hands and keep wounds covered to prevent infection.
Are cats susceptible to bird flu?
In an outbreak of bird flu several years ago, an epidemic that spread from Asia to Africa, the Pacific, Europe, and the Near East, a few cases were reported in which domestic cats became infected and died from the disease. Experts believe the cats got sick from eating raw, bird-flu-infected chicken. Later studies also showed that infected cats are capable of spreading bird flu directly to other cats.In an outbreak of bird flu several years ago, an epidemic that spread from Asia to Africa, the Pacific, Europe, and the Near East, a few cases were reported in which domestic cats became infected and died from the disease.

What are the symptoms of Feline Bordetellosis?
Cats rarely cough. When they do, it’s time to see a veterinarian. A coughing cat could have caught a respiratory infection called feline bordetellosis.This dangerous but treatable illness is caused by a bacterium, and can be transmitted through shared use of water and food bowls. Bordetellosis is also called kennel cough because it can quickly spread among cats in confined areas. Sick cats show cold symptoms with runny noses, watery eyes, a reduced appetite, and fatigue. In severe cases, a cat may even develop pneumonia. Antibiotics are the best way to control the illness, and given time, they’ll help restore an ailing kitty to good health.

What is Chlamydiosis?
Chlamydiosis is a bacterial infection that affects cats, causing the inside of the eyelid and the white part of the eye to become inflamed. Though it’s often relatively mild at first, affecting only one eye, this disease can progress to both eyes, leading to heavy discharge and such painful swelling that affected cats keep their eyes half closed.
The bacterium that causes chlamydiosis spreads mainly through direct cat-to-cat contact. Consequently, the cats most susceptible are kittens and older cats that live in close proximity to lots of other felines. Antibiotics are very effective against this infection, and a vaccine may also be useful to minimize its effects. But left untreated, chlamydiosis can become a chronic problem.
