Health topics
- Feline asthma Feline asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of a cat’s airways. The condition is believed to be triggered by an allergic reaction to substances in the environment, such as dust, pollen, mold, smoke, or other airborne irritants, but many cases are idiopathic, meaning we do not know the cause. Over time, this inflammation can make it more difficult for cats to breathe.
- Rattlesnake bite treatment and prevention for dogs This FAQ was developed using information from a senior paper authored by Nate Weaver (DVM ’25) titled Rattlesnake Bite Treatment and Prevention in Canines, submitted on May 30, 2024, under the guidance of Dr. Jeff Abbott.
- Bovine pinkeye (infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis) Pinkeye commonly affects calves and young cattle during the summer months and can lead to decreased weight gain, treatment costs, eye scarring, or blindness in severe cases.
