I. What is cat plague?
Feline distemper is a highly contagious infectious disease among cats, which often occurs in young cats, so the incidence is higher during the cat’s production season.
At the same time, kittens may also infect cats of other age groups. The virus is mainly excreted through feces and vomit.
The symptoms of cat distemper are: vomiting (vomit is mostly white mucus), diarrhea (bloody stool may appear later), dehydration, mouth odor, loss of appetite or no appetite, lack of energy, etc.
Second, How to prevent cat plague?
1. Kittens that have not been fully vaccinated are not recommended to go out to play or contact other pets of unknown origin.
2. Take the cat to get vaccinated in time, but it should be noted that the vaccine may also fail to immunize, so it is recommended that the cat be regularly checked for virus antibodies after the vaccination.
3. Multi-pet families should ensure environmental hygiene and do a good job in sanitation and disinfection.
4. Studies have shown that under special circumstances, the virus of feline distemper can also be transmitted to dogs, causing small dogs. Therefore, if cats have feline distemper, they must do a good job of prevention and control, and isolate and treat them in time.
5. Even if the cat has survived the dangerous period of cat plague, it can continue to detoxify through secretions such as excrement and saliva in the short term after recovery. Therefore, it is recommended not to contact other pets for half a year, and to do Environmental disinfection.
If your cat is sick, don’t be in a mess, because most common cat diseases can be cured with correct medication and will not leave sequelae.
However, vaccination, ensuring environmental hygiene, and regular deworming can better prevent cats from getting sick. Owners must pay more attention to doing it.
