## Resource

Bobcat Fever is a deadly tick-borne illness for cats, spreading via lone star ticks and showing symptoms like extreme lethargy, loss of appetite, high fever, and yellow gums—often appearing 10-15 days after a bite. With nearly zero survival without treatment, prevention is critical: keep cats indoors or perform daily tick checks. Though no vaccine exists, a breakthrough treatment in 2012 raised survival rates from under 25% to around 60%. Early detection and fast action could save your cat’s life—especially if you live in tick-prone areas between March and September.
