The continuous process of cat plague is relatively long, and the period of rapid change in the disease is generally 7 days. Among these 7 days, the 3rd to 5th are relatively dangerous periods. Cat plague is also called cat panleolocytopenia, and it is clinically manifested as diarrhea, vomiting, and continuous decrease in white blood cells.
If the white blood cells continue to decrease, it will cause a secondary severe bacterial infection, which will aggravate the degree of clinical symptoms of cat plague and even threaten the cat's life. In terms of treatment, antiviral, secondary infection control and necessary supportive treatments are generally adopted, such as correcting acid and alkaline disorders and ion disorders. At this time, you need to consider transfusions of blood to the cat.
1. How do cats get infected with cat plague? The virus spreads through the environment. The virus will be discharged out through the secretion of the sick cat, feces, nasals, etc. or excretion. Viruses can survive in the environment for a long time. Even rehabilitated cats can detoxify for more than 1 year. Not only that, cats during infection can also spread viruses through blood-sucking insects such as fleas, lice, and flies.
Maternal transmission
Female plague virus can also be transmitted from the mother to the baby through the uterus. Kittens may be infected with feline plague virus at any time before birth, but female cats usually do not show symptoms.
People travel and spread
The owner may also be infected with cat plague virus when going out on the soles of his shoes or clothes, and he will take it home without realizing it! If the cat is in poor health recently, it will be infected in minutes! So vaccines must keep up!
2. Treatment methods for cat plague
1. During the treatment of cat plague, be sure to keep the cat warm. The owner can put a soft blanket in the cat's nest and then put a warm water bag to keep the cat warm.
2. If a cat has vomiting symptoms, the owner needs to fast the cat. Cats can rehydrate the cat through infusion and give medication. If you can't give your cat an infusion, you can regularly feed it a mixture of 10% glucose injection and saline to help it replenish energy and moisture.
3. Cats can inject cat distemper high-immune serum, that is, serum containing cat distemper virus antibodies to treat cat distemper.
4. Cats during the recovery period should often eat less and more meals, and do not feed foods that are high in protein, such as eggs, meat, canned meat, etc. It is best to feed liquid or soft cat food.
3. How to prevent
1. Get vaccinated. The most effective way to prevent cat plague is to get vaccinated. What we usually call the "cat triple" of cat vaccine is a vaccine to prevent cat plague, cat herpes, and cat calicivirus.
2. Disinfection of supplies. A temperature of 90℃ lasts for more than 10 minutes can kill cat plague virus. Those cat products that are resistant to high temperatures and can be steamed can also be boiled and disinfected.
