Can cat plague be transmitted to dogs? Generally, it doesn't. Cat plague, also known as cat panthenopneumonia, is a viral gastroenteritis, and its pathogen is parvovirus. The parvovirus that causes cat plague is a mutated parvovirus, and the main target of infection is cats, while the parvovirus in dogs is not as strong as cat plague. Therefore, we usually recommend that if a kitten is found to suffer from cat plague at home, it is usually recommended that you must isolate and raise it immediately, and disinfect the home, so as to avoid direct contact between the kitten and the puppy, thereby eliminating the potential possibility of the puppy being infected with parvovirus.

1. How to treat cat plague?

The current treatment plan is mainly to treat symptomatic antiviral infusion and injection treatment, and to maintain physical condition with symptomatic infusions and anti-inflammatory and nutrition. The treatment cycle of cat plague is generally about seven days, which is the most serious in three to five days. White blood cells may drop rapidly or even cause blood loss and vomiting. Cat plague cannot be treated at home, and the success rate of treatment at home is basically around 10%. Because there is no way to intravenous fluids at home, you can only give the cat an injection. When the cat vomits and does not eat or drink, you can only forcefully receive drugs to relieve hypoglycemia and prevent dehydration, which has a very weak effect on relieving the body's state.

2. Precautions for cat plague

Sick cats are the main source of infection of this disease. Under natural conditions, it is mainly direct or indirect contact infection. If a cat develops viremia after infection, it will be detoxified by urine, feces, nose and eye secretions, saliva, and vomit within one week. Even after recovery, it can still be detoxified for several weeks or even more than one year. Therefore, the sick cat should be isolated and treated, and families with more pets should pay attention to isolation.

3. How to maintain cat plague?

1. It is necessary to improve the living environment of the baby. The ambient temperature needs to reach a constant temperature of 23-25 ​​degrees (you cannot catch a cold, because catching a cold may aggravate the baby's condition).  

2. If you need to improve your diet, you need to eat special cat food for your baby, soak it in warm water, stir it into a paste (it is easy to digest, easy to absorb, has little irritation to the digestive tract, and can have the effect of maintaining the gastrointestinal tract). Eat less and more meals as the principle.

 3. Other foods can be temporarily stopped because the more messy the food you eat, the heavier the burden on the digestive tract.

 4. At the same time, cats can be given some oral pets to provide gastrointestinal nutrition, reduce digestive tract inflammation, promote digestive mucosa recovery, adjust digestive tract flora, promote digestive medication, and help cats recover from digestive tract.

4. How to judge that cat plague has recovered

Cat plague is generally treated in about seven days, which is the most serious in three to five days. On the one hand, it is to observe whether the cat's state can be eaten and drunk and has no vomiting and diarrhea. Secondly, blood routine needs to be checked. If the cat's white blood cells drop to the lowest point and then rise and return to normal value, and the SAA is also within the normal range when it is tested. At this time, it is recovering and you can stop taking medication.
