We have seen an increase in tick cases already this year. Many believe we do not have ticks in our area, that is False. Please be sure your pets are on flea and tick prevention if you are out on walking or hiking trails.

The American Dog tick is a hard backed tick and is most commonly found in this area and on pets.

The picture below is our most recent case and not commonly seen, due to the fact they are nocturnal and are commonly found around Carson River and Tahoe. Soft back ticks can cause TBRF (tick borne relapsing fever) in humans.

The Argasidae are the family of soft ticks, one of the three families of tick

What are the differences between the hard and soft tick? The hard tick has a scutum and its mouthparts stick out in front of the body. The soft tick does not have a scutum and its mouthparts are on the underside of its body.

International Rabbit Day
On this day, people are encouraged to learn about rabbits, support their adoption from shelters, and advocate for better care and protection for both domestic and wild rabbits.
Vaccinate your rabbit against Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease.
Rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) is a highly contagious and often fatal viral infection that affects rabbits and hares. RHD is caused by the rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV). There are two main strains: RHDV1 and RHDV2. The virus is spread through direct contact with infected animals, their body fluids, or contaminated objects. It can also be transmitted through insects, such as flies.
Our hospital does offer the RHDV2 vaccine, call our office for more information.
