1xbet online sports betting

MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University veterinarians are warning pet owners to watch out for 1xbet online sports betting carrying a disease that could kill cats.

Cytauxzoon felis, also known as 1xbet online sports betting , is a blood parasite that infects domestic cats and has a very high death rate. Susan 1xbet online sports betting , a veterinarian and clinical associate professor at Kansas State University's Veterinary Health Center, says this 1xbet online sports betting was thought to be carried only by the American dog tick, but now may be carried by the lone star tick, which is quite prevalent in northeast Kansas.

"Most people have probably seen a lone star 1xbet online sports betting even if they're not familiar with them by name," Nelson said. "They're the ones that have a bright white spot on their back."

Bobcat fever does not affect humans or dogs. It is called bobcat fever because bobcats are considered the main reservoir for the 1xbet online sports betting , as it is typically not fatal for them.

Most cases of bobcat fever occur from March through September, which coincides with the times cats are most likely to encounter 1xbet online sports betting . Late spring and early summer are the peak times for 1xbet online sports betting in Kansas.

Nelson says cats that live outside the city boundaries are at a higher risk of getting bobcat fever because they are more likely to encounter ticks in a rural environment; however, that doesn't necessarily mean that 1xbet online sports betting city-living kitty can't get the disease. If 1xbet online sports betting cat has contracted the disease, it can be anywhere from five to 20 days before symptoms appear.

"First, you're probably going to notice they're going to be really lethargic and tired," Nelson said. "Their appetite is going to decrease. They may feel very hot to you as they will tend to run a high fever early in the course of the 1xbet online sports betting . As the 1xbet online sports betting progresses, you might see breathing problems, dehydration and the whites of their eyes or the inside of their ears might start looking yellow as they start getting jaundiced. Their body temperature will start to drop as they near the end stages of the 1xbet online sports betting ."

A cat may be infected even if you don't see a tick on the animal, because the tick may have already fed and dropped off the cat before the animal starts showing symptoms of the 1xbet online sports betting .

No vaccine is available for this disease. Treatment can be expensive and often unsuccessful, so it is important to take precautionary steps to keep 1xbet online sports betting cat from being bitten. Nelson says the best thing to do is to keep 1xbet online sports betting cat indoors. If you can't do that, then keep 1xbet online sports betting yard well maintained — it's a myth that ticks from fall from trees.

"If 1xbet online sports betting cat likes to stay in the yard, try to keep 1xbet online sports betting grass mowed down so it's not tall," she said. "The ticks tend to like the taller grasses. Keep the shrubbery trimmed short and remove debris around 1xbet online sports betting house. Do daily tick checks on the cats and remember to look between their toes. If 1xbet online sports betting cat lives with a dog, make sure you are using some type of tick control on the dog as it can bring ticks into 1xbet online sports betting house, which can then feed on 1xbet online sports betting cat."

Nelson also suggests talking to 1xbet online sports betting veterinarian about types of tick control medications to determine which is best for 1xbet online sports betting pet.

Tick expert Michael Dryden, university distinguished professor of diagnostic medicine and pathobiology at Kansas State University, tracks the lone star tick and says they are mainly found in eastern Kansas and in the Southeastern states. So far, he has not found any lone star 1xbet online sports betting west of Clay Center, Kan., but he expects its territory will expand.
