What is a cat cold?
Cat cold is a disease mainly caused by fever and mucosal inflammation caused by cold.
Especially in early spring or late autumn, when the weather changes suddenly or the temperature in the air-conditioned room changes drastically, the cat cannot adapt to it for a while. These changes will reduce the cat’s body resistance, and it is easy to catch a cold suddenly.
Cats may shiver when they have a cold; eyes turn red and watery, but symptoms are mild; nasal fluid is clear (thickening in severe cases), nasal mucosa is itchy, and cats often scratch their noses with their front paws. Cats have high breathing rates and heart rates, and their skin temperatures vary. The ends of their extremities and the tips of their ears feel cooler than usual.
Cat colds generally take a little cold medicine for pets, and cats with strong resistance can get better.
What is feline nasal branch?
The feline nasal branch is a high-risk respiratory infectious disease caused by feline herpes virus. Generally speaking, the incubation period of cat nasal branch is 3 to 6 days, the incubation period of herpes virus is about 3 to 6 days, and the incubation period of chlamydia is longer, between 5 and 10 days. The virus can multiply rapidly in the epithelial cells of the nose, throat, trachea, conjunctiva, and tongue of sick cats, and is excreted in the resulting secretions. The main symptoms are sneezing, runny nose, red and inflamed eyes, coughing, abnormal tearing, and even conjunctivitis, mouth ulcers, fever and sudden death.
Therefore, if the cat is sneezing, runny nose, red and swollen eyes, it is probably not a cold but a cat nasal branch. You can feed the cat to supplement lysine. In severe cases, you can also use WangmiaoAmo. However, it is recommended that you should send it to the veterinary hospital for treatment in time.
