Parasites, Bacteria, and Viruses
Parasites, bacteria, and viruses are fairly common among pets. Whether acquired from another pet, a wild animal, or their own mother, infection typically occurs within a pet’s direct environment. Many of these contagions are also zoonotic or capable of being transmitted to human pet owners, which makes them even more concerning.
While a veterinary exam is not always necessary as some viral infections can subside on their own, others need immediate care, so it is always best to seek proper diagnosis and treatment. If you notice abnormal behavior or symptoms in your pet, please contact our office so we can determine what is ailing them.

Dr. Shifa came to deliver mercy to our sweet little guy when we urgently needed it after normal hours. He was very kind and the service was reasonably priced.

When I had to put my beloved cat down , I called Dr Shiga. I didn't want my baby being afraid in her last moments. Dr Shifa has a gentle nature and a great deal of compassion, he made a very difficult situation a bit easier with his kindness. I recommend him to a friend who was also losing a pet to old age, they also were happy with the kind Doctor Shifa. Thank you Dr Shifa for your compassion and gentle ways.
