Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) poisoning doesn't always look the same twice. Depending on the species involved, you could be looking at:

➡️ Neurotoxicosis — fasciculations, hyperpnea, collapse, death within minutes
➡️ Hepatotoxicosis — anorexia, vomiting/diarrhea, tremor, jaundice
➡️ Nephrotoxicosis — PU/PD, often alongside hepatic changes

This one sits close to leptospirosis, metaldehyde, OP/carbamate, and amatoxin toxicities, so history of water exposure is your best discriminator when signalment and presentation overlap.

Explaining antibiotic stewardship to a worried pet owner mid-consult isn't easy, especially when they just want their pet to feel better now.

That's where our client factsheet comes in: "Antibiotics: why hasn't my veterinarian prescribed antibiotics?" — available on Vetlexicon Felis.

Designed to back you up, not replace you, it helps clients understand:
✅ Why symptoms alone don't always mean bacterial infection
✅ Why "waiting for test results" is good medicine, not a delay tactic
✅ Why antibiotic resistance is a One Health issue that affects their pet, their family, and their community
✅ What they can do at home while their pet's immune system does the work

Print it. Hand it over. Let it do some of the talking so you don't have to repeat yourself in every consult.

Rabbits face distinct risk factors and complications associated with insect stings.

Outdoor rabbits are more exposed than their indoor counterparts, and two specific threats deserve attention:

Imported Fire Ants (IFA)
In endemic regions, IFA stings produce a characteristic sterile pustule (1–3 mm) within 24 hours. Secondary infection is a recognised complication.

Processionary caterpillars (Oak and Pine)
This is where rabbits face a uniquely serious risk. Urticating hairs picked up from the caterpillar and licked off the coat can cause intense swelling of the tongue and oral tissues, progressing to severe tissue damage and lingual necrosis.

⚠️ Clinical priorities
Careful history-taking (proximity to insects, grazing/housing location) and a thorough physical exam are key, particularly checking for oropharyngeal involvement that could compromise the airway. Standard management includes prompt sting removal, ice, and pain relief, with corticosteroids/antihistamines and emergency airway management reserved for more severe or anaphylactic presentations.

Full clinical detail, including pathophysiology, differentials, and treatment protocols, is available on Vetlexicon Lapis.
