Having a discussion with a very good friend and fellow camper today .. I learned of Bobcat Fever. Anyone here with any experience? I'm going to call the local vet here tomorrow to inquire in the likelihood where we are. But this scared the crap out of me. My private facebook convo:
But THIS freaks me out .. not like the boys have to go outside during our stay here, but still.
Today was the first day we've had little Monty out on his harness to see how it went in the big outdoors. They both got a bathrag bath having rolled in the dirt outside and I saw no ticks of course. Nothing but dusty, black cats.
Our neighbors told us a few minutes ago that they came here from XXXXX (campground we are currently in until the end of April). They let their kitty run loose (need clarification on this remark) up there and now it died from Bobcat fever. They took it to the vet at the animal hospital on Milan there in Sanger and the Bobcat fever is from a tick bite. Just wanted to let you know after reading you let Si and Monty out today.
