Feline Panleukopenia - causes, pathology, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment

Feline panleukopenia is a highly contagious viral disease of cats and some related mammals. It does not affect dogs. FPV, like most parvoviruses, has a tropism for actively dividing cells. Clinical signs include fever, depression, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea. In kittens infected during the perinatal period, the disease presents as wobbly cat syndrome. Diagnosis is often based on clinical signs and history. Treatment involves fluid therapy and supportive care.

    I've heard that a cat that survived this disease stays contagious for the rest of its life (or for a very long time). Is this true?

    @@Movt_S Well, I was asking because my cat had panleukopenia 4 years ago, and I was wondering if he's still a carrier. I've adopted a second kitten about 8 months ago, and so far so good - no panleukopenia, despite them even using the same litterbox often. So I guess it's not true, at least not in my case.

    Unfortunately there's little we can do to help them, doctors can only infus them to help them fight off the infection. The rest is up to the cat immune systems. My cat was diagnosed with it, 2 days after the virus infected him, he died a day later in care. He was only 6 months old

    That depends. Their immune system may not have created sufficient antibodies if they still had maternal antibodies present when they were vaccinated, among other factors that could affect immunization as well. I explain the effect of maternal antibodies and vaccination in greater detail here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4WKxNqeitqtZc4.html
