First, the way of cat plague infection:
Generally speaking, cat plague mostly occurs in spring, and it is mainly spread through the eyes and nose secretions, saliva, vomit, feces and urine of sick cats. Or a cat that has recovered but still carries the virus, or it may be spread by blood-sucking parasites such as fleas, lice and ticks. If it is a pregnant cat, it can also be transmitted vertically to the fetus through the placenta, resulting in fetal malformation or stillbirth.
For cats in the onset period, it can be transmitted through vomit, urine, feces and other secretions. Moreover, the cat plague virus will survive in the environment for a long time and its resistance is very strong. It takes 80 degrees high temperature heating for two hours to inactivate.
If it is a healthy and disease-free cat, it may be infected if it touches the daily utensils such as cat litter, cat food basin and water cup of the sick cat, or licks and combs the hair with the sick cat. Therefore, the shovel officer must isolate the sick cat after finding it.
Second, how to treat cat plague?
1, do a good job of keeping the cat warm. During the treatment of cat plague, we should pay attention to keeping the cat warm, such as putting an extra blanket in the cat's nest and a warm water bag for the cat to keep warm;
If the cat vomits, you need to fast. At this time, the cat can be supplemented with nutrition and water shortage by infusion. For sick cats that can't be infused, you can regularly feed some water mixture of physiological saline and glucose.
3. Cats can also be treated by injecting serum containing antibodies against feline plague virus. However, it is not allowed to overuse or inject hyperimmune serum for several days to avoid side effects.
4. At the stage of treating cat plague until cats can eat, lactase and other drugs can be used to help cats digest their stomachs and intestines. If the cat is using other drugs, it needs to be taken at intervals of about half an hour.
5. During the recovery period of cats, eat less and eat more meals, and don't feed cat food with high protein content or indigestion.
Warm reminder: although cat plague looks terrible, as long as it can be found in time and treated as soon as possible, there is still hope for cure. At the same time, the shovel officer should also vaccinate the cat regularly. Because the most effective way to prevent diseases is vaccination.
