Tick-Borne Disease in Cats
Bobcat fever, a tick-borne illness formally known as cytauxzoonosis, was diagnosed in a southern Illinois cat. If your cat spends time outdoors in an area where bobcats or ticks are present, be on the lookout for this life-threatening disease, which can prove to be fatal without early treatment.
If you live in an area where bobcats are present, and you have a cat who frequents the outdoors, stay vigilant for a tick-borne disease called cytauxzoonosis, commonly known as bobcat fever
Reports of infection have come from southern Illinois, where at least eight cats were affected in 2018, and one has been reported as of May 2019
At least 16 other states have also reported cases of cytauxzoonosis
Fever, lethargy and loss of appetite are among the first signs of bobcat fever
Sadly, cytauxzoonosis is often fatal in cats, although survival is possible, especially if treatment is started early
