Infections in cats can be divided into viral infections, bacterial infections and fungal infections. Viral infections mainly include feline distemper, rabies, hemorrhagic disease, viral rhinotracheitis, infectious peritonitis, Calicivirus, pseudorabies, etc., bacterial infections mainly include cold, botulinum poisoning, monk's disease, leptospirosis, colibacillosis, listeriosis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, infectious Anemia, etc. Fungal diseases include dermatomycosis, cryptococcosis, sporofilariasis, blastomycosis, histological cytoplasmosis, etc.
Feline Distemper
Leukopenia, mainly caused by feline parvovirus, is extremely contagious and highly destructive. The disease is generally caused by contact infection, but can also be infected by blood-sucking insects and fleas. Young cats are most susceptible to this disease. Clinical symptoms include anorexia, depression, extremely low energy, high fever, persistent vomiting, and dark brown bloody diarrhea. In the end, patients died due to dehydration and blood loss due to sudden reduction in white blood cell count and hemorrhagic enteritis, with a death rate of about 25-75%. Feline distemper virus is so stubborn that it can even cross the placenta and be transmitted to kittens.
Feline Chlamydia Pneumonia
A highly infectious disease caused by Chlamydia psittaci, which mainly causes pneumonia in cats. The initial clinical symptoms are conjunctivitis, which is later accompanied by fever, severe sobbing, and thickening of eye fluids. Symptoms of rhinitis may also appear, including decreased nasal fluids, sneezing, and nasal congestion; The later clinical symptoms are suppurative pneumonia, which may cause difficulty breathing and pulmonary edema due to excessive permeate in the trachea and alveoli. More than 30 days after infection, the bacteria can still be found in the conjunctiva and lungs of sick cats, so sick cats will continue to be infected with the bacteria even if they recover.
Feline leukemia
This disease is leukopenia caused by feline leukemia virus; among all infectious vectors of cats, this virus is the most common The most serious type, even fish and cats can be infected by this disease once they have sex with each other. The main clinical symptoms of sick pet cats include weight loss, anemia, fever, gingivitis, diarrhea, etc. Due to the different levels, diagnosis and treatment are very difficult and must be judged by blood tests. Although kittens are more sensitive to the disease, the disease can affect cats of all ages, breeds, and genders.
