Cat almost kills her owner
Headlines are sometimes shock. Ever since the “Man bites dog” headline, we’ve had every kind of animal story. Now this is the ultimate cat story because the headline misses out the vital reference to squirrels. Yes. This is double attack. The cat and the killer squirrels would have been more accurate. But we don’t do sensationalism for its own sake here. We kept it simple.
So you must go over to Smith Valley in Nevada. Cat was sick. She had visited with the local veterinarian to get treatment. One day, Richie cut her finger but thought nothing of it as she tended to the cat. Several days later she almost died of high fever. It took a month for the lab to identify the problem. She had tularemia.
Well, back in 1911 there was a disease that almost wiped out the squirrel population in Tulare, California so they called it tularemia. One thing - it was highly contagious between humans and animals. How did the cat come to be infected? It’s going to remain a mystery. Did the cat travel back in time or just visit with some squirrel cousins in California? Who knows. It died before we could ask. The good news Cheap Doxycycline was an almost instant cure. Just goes to show. Once you know which viruses are making you sick, you get the right antibiotic and get better fast.
