FELINE PANLEUKOPENIA VIRUS THE NO. 1 KITTEN KILLER

Feline panleukopenia is a highly contagious, often fatal, viral disease of cats.

A majority of infections are subclinical. In cats that do become ill, clinical signs include high fever, profound depression, and anorexia.

SIGNS MORTALITY Of affected kittens that are two months or less of age, 95% die regardless of treatment. Kittens that are more than two months old have a 60– 70% mortality rate with treatment and a nearly 100% mortality rate if not treated.

TREATMENT Treatment includes intensive fluid therapy, glucose and potassium supplementation, antimicrobial, anthelmintic, and antiemetic therapy. Excellent vaccines are available for prevention.
