Feline distemper (feline panleukopenia virus, or FPV) is a severe, highly contagious viral disease of cats.

The symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, coughing and conjunctivitis. Often, several of these germs are found in a cat or kitten suffering from an upper respiratory infection.

Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is one of the major causes of illness and death in domestic cats.

The disease is worldwide and affects exotic cats (lions, cougars, bobcats, lynx, jaguars, and cheetahs) as well as domestic cats.

Having your pet spayed (ovariohysterectomy) or neutered (castrated) is an inexpensive and realistic method of pet population control.

Ovariohysterectomy is the medical term for spaying a female cat.

Most veterinary hospitals are equipped for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) testing.

A comprehensive physical exam allows our doctors to compile a list of clues that can help uncover disease.

Tapeworms are common parasites that live in the small intestine of dogs, cats and other animals.
