About cat plague (refer to Baidu Encyclopedia)
Cat plague, also known as feline panleukopenia and feline infectious enteritis, is an acute highly contagious infectious disease in cats. The clinical manifestations are sudden high fever, intractable vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, circulatory disorder and acute leukopenia (not all cases of leukopenia are cat plague, but other diseases can also cause leukopenia, such as feline leukemia and feline hepatitis). Cats with incomplete or unvaccinated vaccination are prone to cat plague, especially young cats aged 3-5 months. If the mother cat is infected during pregnancy, it will lead to stillbirth, miscarriage and nervous system symptoms in newborn kittens. The route of transmission is through contact with urine and feces carrying the virus or blood-sucking insects and fleas. Pathogens are viruses belonging to parvovirus family and parvovirus genus. The virus can survive in the kidney for over 1 year after entering the body. Parvovirus can survive in the environment for a long time, but it can be inactivated by formalin, sodium hypochlorite (household disinfectant) or dialdehyde.
clinical symptoms
The incubation period of feline plague fever is 2-9 days, and the clinical symptoms are related to age and virus virulence.
Most kittens have acute onset, their body temperature rises above 40℃, and they vomit. Many cats die suddenly without any symptoms, and some may have symptoms of spinal ataxia.
Clinically, most cats over 6 months old are subacute. At first, there was fever at about 40℃, which dropped to normal temperature after 1-2 days, and the body temperature rose again after 3-4 days, that is, biphasic fever type.
Sick cats are listless, anorexia, intractable vomiting, yellow-green vomit, sticky secretions in mouth, eyes and nose, and sticky feces. Diarrhea shows that animals are in the late stage of disease, with bloody feces, severe dehydration, anemia, and severe death.
Matters needing attention
A cat is an animal with strong endurance. Cat plague may not be easy to detect in the early stage, which is manifested by signs such as poor spirit, long sleep time, loss of appetite and drooling. In the middle stage, this kind of performance is more obvious, and there will be serious refusal to eat. As the owner, we should carefully observe the condition of the cat. If there is any abnormality, we should measure its temperature as soon as possible. Early detection is more helpful for treatment and recovery.
Attention should be paid to the treatment of cat plague:
1, be sure to keep warm.
2. If there are other cats at home, please isolate the sick cats and pay attention to environmental sanitation and disinfection.
3, cat plague high immune serum is very important, in fact, it is the antibody of cat plague virus, and this is the only one specifically for this virus in treatment. But be careful not to inject continuously for more than three days, too much will have side effects. If there is no hyperimmune serum in local medical conditions, you can find an adult healthy cat that has been vaccinated, extract the blood of the healthy cat, and extract the serum for the sick cat through separation.
4, rehydration balance, to prevent acidosis
Infusion is the best treatment. If you can't give the cat infusion, you can regularly feed the mixture of 10% glucose injection and physiological saline to help him replenish energy and water. If you can buy liquid electrolysis for pets, the multi-dimensional effect will be better.
5. Use antibiotics to prevent secondary infection.
The commonly used antibiotic is gentamicin, twice a day, 20,000 units each time.
Now a new animal antibiotic is called Prozac. Please consult your doctor about the dosage.
There is also Chinese medicine Qingkailing injection, which also has a good effect.
Step 6 stop vomiting
Metoclopramide injection is a good antiemetic and very important in the treatment process. It can be injected or taken orally.
7. Regulate digestive function
A large number of antibiotics were used during the treatment, which led to the disorder of beneficial flora in cat digestive tract. Need to take large doses of drugs or health products to regulate the health of intestinal beneficial bacteria; Such as lactase, mommy love, probiotics and so on. Such digestive AIDS that regulate the intestine should be taken separately from antibiotics, with an interval of more than half an hour.
8. Other drugs such as dexamethasone and VC are drugs that help metabolism and can be added according to the situation.
9. Pay attention to the bottom protein (milk, eggs, chicken liver, etc. Don't feed it for the time being) In the convalescent diet, give the cat semi-liquid food that is easy to digest. You can buy a cat nutrition cream, which is more comprehensive in nutrition. Or you can consider buying Hill's prescription AD (debilitating/malignant disease) cat jar, which contains minced meat soup and can be fed to cats who recover their strength after illness through a syringe.
Finally, it should be noted that there may be symptoms of hematochezia in the late stage of cat plague, so it is necessary to give the cat a hemostatic needle to prevent it, or take Yunnan Baiyao orally. "
