There have been more human cases of flea-borne typhus in the last five years than in the last 50 years combined. Humans are infected with flea-borne typhus by the common flea. Protect your family by using flea control products, such as Advantage, Frontline, or Comfortis, on your pets to prevent this serious health threat. HOW YOU GET THE DISEASE Typhus bacteria are transferred to humans usually as the result of flea bites. Infected fleas have the bacteria in their feces and will often defecate while biting and feeding. When a person scratches the flea bite, he/she can allow some of the bacteria in the flea feces to enter the blood stream. People can also become infected by transferring the bacteria to their eyes, nose, or mouth. PREVENTION The disease is transmitted by the common flea which can be found on opossums, raccoons, skunks, feral and domestic cats, dogs, and other mammals. To reduce your exposure to fleas, follow these guidelines: • Remove pet food and other outside food sources • Cover garbage containers • Trim vegetation around buildings to discourage wildlife • If you see dead oppossums, cats or other animals on your property, call your local Animal Control agency • Keep pet cats indoors as much as possible and consult your veterinarian about flea control products SYMPTOMS Symptoms begin one to two weeks after exposure, and include: • Fever • Headache • Chills • Body aches and pains • Rash on chest, back, arms and/or legs If these symptoms occur, seek medical attention.

Please call our office for more details (714) 894-5558 We are excited to introduce our new Laser Therapy! This equipment is used to decrease pain from arthritis and enhance wound healing. This cutting edge treatment has helped many dogs with hind limb weakness. It is administered daily or every other day for 6 treatments and then given monthly as your pet starts feeling that old stiffness and pain again. LASER THERAPY TREATMENT 1. Anti-Pain (Analgesic): Laser therapy has a high beneficial effect on nerve cells which blocks pain transmitted by these cells to the brain and which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to less inflammation, there is less edema and less pain. Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and encephalin from the brain and adrenal gland. 2. Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth: Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. As a result of exposure to laser light, the cells of tendons, ligaments and muscles are repaired faster. 1) Increases Metabolic Activity: Laser therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells. 2) Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: Laser therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns or surgery. 3) Improved Nerve Function: Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light will speed up the process of nerve cell reconnection and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle action.
