03/26/2012 - The weather warms and we bring spring flowers into our homes, we at Chico Hospital for Cats want to remind you that Easter Lilies are potentially deadly to cats.
All parts of all lily plants are toxic, and fatal poisoning can occur following ingestion of just one leaf. Signs may include vomiting, loss of appetite and depression.
Please avoid any type of lily in homes with cats. If you suspect your cat may have ingested any part of a lily plant, please seek immediate veterinary care.
03/13/2012 - Flea allergy is common in cats. A normal cat experiences only minor irritation in response to flea bites, often without any itching. The flea allergic cat, on the other hand, has a severe, itch-producing reaction when the flea's saliva is deposited in the skin. Just one bite causes such intense itching that the cat may severely scratch or chew itself, leading to the removal of large amounts of hair. There will often be open sores or scabs on the skin, allowing a secondary bacterial infection to begin. The area most commonly involved is over the rump (just in front of the tail). In addition, the cat may have numerous, small scabs around the head and neck. These scabs are called miliary lesions, a term which was coined because the scabs look like millet seeds.
