FIP Cat FAQ Recovery issues

Answer

Generally speaking, with active treatment and appropriate rehabilitation, cats with mild paralysis may gradually recover within a few weeks to several months. The specific time may range from 2 weeks to 3 months.

Some cats with mild symptoms may start to regain some functions of their limbs after 2-3 weeks of treatment and rehabilitation training; while for some cats with slower recovery, it may take 2-3 months or even longer to fully recover.

If the cat has delayed treatment, severe nerve damage or is affected by serious complications, there may be a situation where it cannot fully recover.

Solution

Ensure that the medication for feline infectious peritonitis is administered to the cat on time and in the correct dosage. Effective drug treatment can control virus replication, reduce inflammatory responses, and create a favorable internal environment for the recovery of nerves and muscles

At the stage when the cat cannot move independently, passive exercise can be carried out by the owner or under the guidance of professionals. Gently move the paralyzed limbs of the cat, such as bending and extending the joints, massaging the muscles, etc., to promote blood circulation and prevent muscle atrophy and joint stiffness.

When a cat shows certain signs of recovery, assistive devices such as towels and slings can be used to help the cat stand and walk. Gradually increase the cat’s load-bearing and activity time to enhance muscle strength and coordination. First, gently lift the cat’s abdomen with a towel to let it try to stand, and then slowly guide it to walk. Each training session should not be too long to avoid excessive fatigue for the cat.

Conducting balance training can enhance the physical coordination and sense of balance of cats. Tools such as balance boards and yoga balls can be used to allow cats to stand or walk on unstable surfaces, challenging their balance ability. Place the yoga ball on the ground and let the cat stand on it. The owner should provide support and protection beside it and gradually increase the cat’s staying time on the ball.

Choose nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods to ensure that cats obtain sufficient nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients are crucial for the repair of nerves and muscles.

Under the veterinarian’s advice, some nutritional supplements can be given to cats, such as vitamins B1, B6, B12, etc., which are crucial for the normal function of the nervous system. They can promote the metabolism and regeneration of nerve cells and contribute to the repair of damaged nerves. There is also mecobalamin, which is an endogenous coenzyme B12 and can promote the metabolism of nucleic acids, proteins and lipids in nerve cells, thereby promoting the repair and regeneration of nerves.

When used under the guidance of a veterinarian, baclofen can relieve muscle spasms and tension, and has a certain improvement effect on muscle stiffness caused by paralysis. It inhibits excessive muscle excitation by acting on neurons in the spinal cord, thereby reducing muscle tension.

Use warm towels or hot water bags to apply hot compresses to the paralyzed area. Hot compresses can promote local blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and contribute to the recovery of nerves and muscles. Perform hot compresses 2-3 times a day, each time for 15-20 minutes. The temperature should be comfortable for the cat to avoid overheating and burns.

Gentle massage of the paralyzed area should be carried out by professionals or under their guidance. Massage can stimulate the muscles, promote blood circulation, prevent muscle atrophy, and also help relieve the cat’s tension. Massage from the proximal end to the distal end of the limb, with gentle technique and moderate strength. Multiple massages can be performed daily, each lasting 10-15 minutes.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical therapy and may also be somewhat helpful for mild paralysis caused by feline infectious peritonitis. Acupuncture can stimulate acupoints, regulate the circulation of qi and blood in the body, and promote the functional recovery of nerves and muscles. 11. The use of baclofen under the guidance of a veterinarian can relieve muscle spasms and tension and has a certain improvement effect on muscle stiffness caused by paralysis. It acts on neurons in the spinal cord, inhibits excessive muscle excitation, and thereby reduces muscle tension.

Answer

Generally speaking, with active treatment and proper care, mild eye bloodshot may start to improve in about one to two weeks; moderate symptoms may take two to three weeks; severe symptoms may take three to four weeks or longer. The time for the bloodshot caused by feline infectious peritonitis in the eyes to subside is difficult to determine, and it requires the owner to take care patiently and cooperate actively with the treatment, and closely observe the changes in the cat’s condition.

Reason

1. If the cat’s eye symptoms are mild and there is only a small amount of blood, it may gradually subside within a few weeks under timely and effective treatment. For example, it is only a mild early manifestation of uveitis. After active treatment, the body recovers faster, and the blood in the eyes will also improve accordingly.

2.If the eye symptoms are severe, such as a large amount of blood, retinopathy, etc., it may take several months or even longer to subside. For example, severe eye inflammation may lead to long-term congestion and blood, which will be very difficult to recover and will take longer to treat and recover.

3. The treatment drug for cat-abdominal transmission responds well, the virus is effectively controlled, and the overall condition of the body is gradually improved, which will be more conducive to the decline of blood in the eyes. If the cat’s indicators gradually return to normal during the treatment process, and the appetite and mental state are improved, the eye symptoms will also be relieved faster.

4.Active local eye treatment can also accelerate the regression of blood. For example, using anti-inflammatory eye drops, eye ointments, etc., and correct eye care according to the veterinary’s advice can promote the remission of eye inflammation and reduce blood.

5.There are differences in the physical condition, age, immune system, etc. of different cats, which will also affect the time of blood in the eyes to subside. Young and strong cats may have relatively strong recovery ability, while elderly cats or cats with other health problems may recover more slowly. Some cats may be more sensitive to therapeutic drugs, and the blood in the eyes may subside faster; while some cats may take longer to adapt to treatment, and the blood will subside. Relatively slow

Answer

Generally speaking, with active treatment and proper care, mild fever subsides 12-36 hours after injection, but it usually recurs. Cats with mild fever may completely recover within three to five days; cats with moderate fever may take five to seven days; cats with severe fever may take more than a week or even longer.

Reason

Feline infectious peritonitis is caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus. The viral infection can lead to a strong inflammatory response in the body. The regression of inflammation takes time because the body needs to gradually eliminate the virus and inflammatory mediators and repair the damaged tissues.

2.Cat’s abdominal transmission will cause abnormal reactions to the cat’s immune system. It takes time for the immune system to adjust and recover, which will also affect the rate of fever.

3. It usually takes a certain amount of time to treat cat-to-abdominal transmission. Drugs need to reach a certain concentration in the body to effectively inhibit virus replication and reduce inflammatory reactions. This process may take several days or even longer, depending on the metabolic and absorption rate of the drug and the individual differences of cats.

4.There are differences in the physical condition, age, immune system, etc. of different cats, which will also affect the time of fever. Young and strong cats may have relatively strong recovery ability, and the fever reduction time may be shorter; while elderly cats or cats with other health problems may recover more slowly, and the fever reduction time will also be extended accordingly.

5.Cat abdominal transmission may be associated with other diseases, such as bacterial infection, anemia, hypoproteinemia, etc. These complications will further aggravate the cat’s condition, affecting the treatment effect and the rate of fever. For example, if a cat has a bacterial infection, it needs to be treated with antibiotics at the same time, which will increase the complexity and time of treatment.

Solution

1.Strictly follow the doctor’s instructions to take medicine: ensure that the cat is given therapeutic drugs on time and in accordance with the amount. Do not adjust the dose or stop the drug by yourself to ensure the effectiveness of the drug.

2.Fever will accelerate the loss of water in the cat’s body, so make sure that the cat has enough water to drink. You can place a few more water bowls, or use an automatic water dispenser to attract cats to drink more water. If the cat doesn’t want to drink water, you can use a syringe or dropper to feed the cat, but be careful not to force the cat, so as not to cause a choking cough.

3.If the cat’s body temperature is not particularly high, you can try the method of physical cooling. You can soak the towel with warm water and gently wipe the cat’s ears, claws, abdomen and other parts to help the cat dissipate heat. Pay attention that the water temperature should not be too low, so as not to cause discomfort to the cat. You can also use ice bags or cold compresses, but be careful not to directly touch the cat’s skin. You can wrap it with a towel and put it around the cat’s body.

4.Keep the temperature of the cat’s living environment appropriate and avoid too high or too low. You can use air conditioners, fans, etc. to adjust the indoor temperature, but be careful not to let the cat blow directly to the air outlet.

5.Choose nutritious and easy-to-digest food to ensure that cats get enough nutrition. You can choose high-quality cat food, canned food or homemade food. If the cat has a poor appetite, you can try to feed the cat some of its favorite food, or use nutritional cream, nutrient solution, etc. to supplement nutrition.

6.Cats have low immunity and are prone to secondary infections of other bacteria, viruses or fungi. With the advice of veterinarians, you can use some immune-enhancing drugs for cats, such as vitamin C, E, probiotics, etc., to prevent secondary infections.

Answer

Generally speaking, with active treatment and proper care, mild eye symptoms may begin to improve in about a few weeks to a month; moderate symptoms may take one to two months; severe symptoms may take two to three months or longer.

Reason

1. Cat’s abdominal transmission will cause inflammation of the eyes, such as uveitis. This inflammation may involve multiple eye tissues, including iris, ciliary body, retina, etc. It takes time for inflammation to subside, because the body needs to gradually remove inflammatory cells and mediators and repair damaged tissues. For example, uveitis can cause eye congestion, pain and vision loss. The relief of inflammation depends not only on the inhibitory effect of drugs on inflammation, but also on the body’s own immune regulation and repair mechanism. These processes are usually slow and take weeks or even months.

2. Cat abdominal transmission may cause different degrees of damage to eye tissue, such as retinopathy, optic nerve damage, etc. The repair of these tissues takes time because their structure and function are complex, and their regeneration ability is relatively weak. For example, retinal damage may affect the vision of cats, and the repair process involves the regeneration and reconnection of cells. This process is very complicated and requires the body to mobilize a variety of cell and molecular mechanisms, so it takes a long time to recover.

3. The blood circulation of the eyes is relatively special, and the delivery of drugs and nutrients is relatively slow. This makes the response of eye tissue to treatment relatively lagging, and it takes longer for the symptoms to dissipate. For example, the blood vessels in the eye are relatively thin and the blood flow is slower. This means that it takes longer for the therapeutic drug to reach the eye tissue and work. At the same time, the repair of damaged tissue also depends on the nutrients and oxygen supplied by the blood, and the blood circulation characteristics of the eyes limit the speed of repair.

4.Drugs for the treatment of cat-to-abdominal transmission mainly target viruses and systemic symptoms, but the direct effect on eye symptoms may be limited. Although some drugs can reduce eye inflammation, the absorption and response of eye tissue to the drug may be different from other parts. When using drugs such as 441 to treat cat abdominal transmission, although the virus can be effectively inhibited, it may take some time to improve eye symptoms. This is because the drug needs to reach the eyes through blood circulation and reach an effective concentration in the eye tissue to work. And this process may be affected by many factors, such as drug metabolism, eye barrier function, etc.

For ocular symptoms, local treatment is usually required, such as the use of eye drops, eye ointments, etc. However, the effect of local treatment may be affected by various factors, such as the choice of drugs, the correctness of the usage method, the degree of cooperation of the cat, etc.

6. The treatment of cat-abdominal transmission usually takes a long time, and the improvement of eye symptoms may lag behind the recovery of systemic symptoms. This is because the repair of eye tissue needs to be carried out on the basis of the stability of the whole body, and the relief of eye symptoms may require continuous treatment and care.

7. Different cats have different reactions to diseases and their ability to recover. Some cats may respond quickly to treatment and the eye symptoms dissipate faster; while some cats may recover slower and take longer. For example, young and healthy cats may have strong recovery ability, and eye symptoms dissipate relatively quickly; while elderly cats or cats with other health problems may recover more slowly, and the duration of eye symptoms will be longer.

8.Cat transmission to the abdomen may be associated with other diseases, such as infections, immune-mediated diseases, etc. These complications will further affect the dissipation time of eye symptoms and increase the complexity of treatment. For example, if the cat suffers from bacterial infection or immune-mediated uveitis at the same time, the difficulty of treatment will increase, and the dissipation time of eye symptoms will also be prolonged. Corresponding treatment for complications is needed to promote the improvement of eye symptoms.

9.Even though the systemic symptoms of the cat have improved significantly, the ocular symptoms may still persist. This requires the continuation of local treatment and observation of the eyes to ensure that the inflammation completely subsides and the tissue damage is fully repaired.

Solution

If the eye symptoms of a cat require medication treatment, it is necessary to strictly follow the veterinarian’s advice when using the drugs. Common eye medications include eye drops, eye ointments, etc. For example, for inflammatory diseases such as uveitis, the veterinarian may prescribe anti-inflammatory eye drops. Administer the eye drops to the cat according to the prescribed dosage and frequency to ensure that the drugs can fully exert their effects.

Besides drug treatment, it may be necessary to cooperate with other treatment measures, such as hot compress and phototherapy. These treatment methods can promote blood circulation in the eyes, accelerate the regression of inflammation and the repair of tissues. For example, for some eye infections, veterinarians may recommend hot compress while using drugs to help relieve symptoms.

The eyes of cats are relatively sensitive to strong light, especially when they have eye diseases. Avoid exposing cats to strong light, such as direct sunlight or strong lamps. A relatively dark and comfortable resting place can be provided for cats. For example, draw curtains in the cats’ resting area to avoid direct sunlight; use soft lighting to reduce the stimulation to the cats’ eyes.

Ensuring that cats consume a balanced nutrition helps enhance their immunity and physical resistance, and promotes the recovery of their eyes. For example, foods rich in nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E, and zinc are beneficial for eye health. Cat food containing these nutrients can be chosen, or some foods rich in these nutrients, such as carrots, pumpkins, blueberries, etc., can be fed to cats.

Continuously use GS drugs for treatment according to the process

Answer

Generally speaking, under active treatment and proper care, cats with mild conditions may start to regain their appetite in about a week; cats with moderate conditions may need one to two weeks; cats with severe conditions may need two to three weeks or longer.

Reason

If a cat receives timely treatment at the early stage of feline infectious peritonitis and the condition is relatively mild, its appetite may gradually recover within a few days to about a week after treatment. For example, for some cats with mild symptoms, after starting effective treatment, their bodily functions recover quickly and their appetite improves accordingly; if the condition is more severe and the body suffers greater damage, the time for the recovery of appetite may be extended to several weeks or even longer. For instance, for cats with severe symptoms such as ascites and jaundice, the body needs more time to repair the damaged organs and adjust the metabolic functions.

The treatment drugs for feline infectious peritonitis have a good response, the virus is effectively controlled, the overall physical condition gradually improves, which is more conducive to the recovery of appetite. If various indicators of the cat gradually return to normal during the treatment process, such as improved blood test results and reduced inflammation, then the appetite will also recover accordingly.

There are differences in the physical conditions, ages, and personalities of different cats, which can also affect the time for them to regain their appetite. Young and physically strong cats may have relatively stronger recovery abilities, while elderly cats or those with other health problems themselves may recover more slowly.

Feline infectious peritonitis can have adverse effects on the digestive system of cats. The virus may invade digestive organs such as the liver and pancreas, affecting the secretion of digestive juices and the process of digestion and absorption of food. Liver damage may lead to a reduction in bile secretion, affecting the digestion of fat; abnormal pancreatic function may affect the secretion of pancreatic enzymes, thereby affecting the digestion of proteins and carbohydrates. These digestive problems can cause a decrease in the cat’s appetite, and it takes time to restore digestive function.

Feline infectious peritonitis can cause metabolic disorders in cats’ bodies, including abnormal metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. This can affect the cats’ demand and utilization of nutrients, and further influence their appetite. For example, during the illness, cats may have hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia, etc. The body needs time to adjust the metabolic balance and restore normal nutritional demands and appetite.

Feline infectious peritonitis is a serious disease. Sick cats are usually very weak. Although the treatment process can control the virus, the recovery of the body takes time. The weak body will cause the cat to lack appetite. It needs to gradually regain physical strength to have a normal desire to eat. The cat may be reluctant to move due to fatigue and is not interested in food. Only when the body gradually recovers and has enough energy will it start to have an appetite.

The drugs for treating feline infectious peritonitis may have some side effects that affect the appetite of cats. For example, certain drugs may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, resulting in cats’ unwillingness to eat. For instance, the use of antibiotics for treatment may cause imbalance of intestinal flora, affecting digestive function and appetite. In this case, it takes time to adjust the drug dosage or take measures to alleviate the side effects in order to restore the cats’ appetite.

During the treatment of feline infectious peritonitis, some restrictions on the cat’s diet may be required. For example, for cats with ascites, salt intake may need to be restricted; for cats with liver damage, special prescription food may need to be given. These dietary restrictions may affect the cat’s appetite. At the same time, during the treatment, cats may need to go to the hospital frequently for examinations and treatments, which will also disrupt their normal eating patterns and affect the recovery of appetite.

The illness and treatment process can bring stress and discomfort to cats, affecting their psychological state. Cats may lose their appetite due to physical pain, discomfort, or fear of treatment. For example, cats may feel nervous and scared because of frequent injections, examinations, etc., and be unwilling to eat. This psychological stress needs time to ease before their normal appetite can be restored.

During the treatment period, the living environment of the cat may change, such as hospitalization, changing residence, etc. These environmental changes will also affect the cat’s appetite. The cat may feel uneasy and unwilling to eat in a strange environment. It takes some time to adapt to the new environment and restore the appetite.

Solution

Provide palatable food: Choose foods with flavors and textures that cats like, such as wet food, canned food, meat strips, etc. Different brands and types of food can be tried to find what cats are most interested in. For example, some cats like canned food with chicken flavor, while others prefer fish flavor. Several kinds can be prepared to give cats more choices.

Heating the food slightly to a temperature close to that of a cat’s body can enhance the aroma of the food and increase the cat’s appetite. However, be careful not to overheat it to avoid scalding the cat. For example, soak canned or wet food in warm water to make its temperature reach about 38°C before feeding the cat.

Avoid providing too much food to the cat at one time to prevent stress. The food can be divided into small portions and fed multiple times to make it easier for the cat to accept. For example, divide the feeding into 4-5 times a day, provide a small amount of food each time, observe the cat’s eating situation, and gradually increase the amount of food.

Choose a quiet and undisturbed place for the cat to eat. Avoid making loud noises or having other pets disturb the cat when it is having a meal.

Keep the cat’s food and water bowls clean and tidy, and clean and disinfect them regularly. Dirty bowls may affect the cat’s appetite.

Under the veterinarian’s advice, some digestive-promoting drugs, such as probiotics and digestive enzymes, can be used for cats to help improve digestive function and increase appetite.

According to the physical condition of the cat, some nutritional supplements, such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, etc., can be given to the cat to enhance its physical fitness and increase its appetite.

8.If the cat’s physical condition allows, increase the amount of exercise of the cat appropriately. Exercise can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and increase appetite. For example, spend some time playing with cats every day, and use cat sticks, laser pens and other toys to make cats active. However, you should pay attention not to exercise too much, and avoid excessive fatigue of the cat.

9.If conditions permit, you can take your cat outdoors for some activities to expose them to fresh air and sunshine, which will also help improve their appetite.

10.Sick cats need more care and companionship. Spend more time interacting with the cat, touching it, and talking to it, so that the cat can feel the care and support of its owner. This helps to reduce the cat’s stress and anxiety and promote physical recovery.

11.Place some familiar items in the cat’s living environment, such as its favorite toys, blankets, etc., to make the cat feel at ease.

Answer

In the case of active treatment and appropriate rehabilitation, mild walking instability may improve within a few weeks to one or two months; moderate symptoms may require two to three months; severe cases may take several months or even longer, and may not fully return to normal.

Reason

1. Cat’s abdominal transmission may cause damage to the cat’s nervous system, affecting nerve conduction and muscle control, resulting in shaking when walking. The repair and regeneration of nerve cells is a slow process, and it takes time to restore normal function.

2.During the illness, cats may have muscle atrophy due to physical discomfort and reduced activity. The weakening of muscle strength will further affect the walking ability of cats, and it will take a long time to restore muscle mass and strength.

3.It usually takes a certain amount of time for the treatment of cat-to-abdominal transmission to work, and the metabolism and reaction rates of drugs in different cats are also different. The symptoms of cats may not improve immediately until the drug begins to effectively inhibit the replication of the virus.

4.Cat transmission will seriously affect the immune system of cats, and it takes time to restore the function of the immune system during the treatment process. The recovery of the immune system is crucial for the body to fight the virus and repair damaged tissues, but the reconstruction of the immune system is a slow process.

5.Cats that are older or have other health problems may take longer to recover. The physical function of elderly cats declines, and their recovery ability is relatively weak. It may take more time to recover. At the same time, if the cat also suffers from other diseases, such as kidney disease, heart disease, etc., it will also affect the treatment effect and recovery time.

6.Rehabilitation training is very important for recovering the symptoms of walking and shaking, but the degree of cooperation and compliance of cats will also affect the effect and time of rehabilitation. Some cats may be reluctant to cooperate with rehabilitation training, or it may take longer to adapt to the training process.

Solution

1.Make sure to use drugs to treat cat abdominal transmission to cats on time and in accordance with the dose. Do not adjust the dose or stop the drug by yourself to ensure the effectiveness of the drug.

2.Take the cat to the hospital regularly for re-examination, including blood tests, biochemical tests, ultrasound tests, etc. Through review, we can understand the progress of the cat’s condition and the treatment effect, and adjust the treatment plan in time.

3.If the cat’s physical condition allows, gradually increase its exercise. You can start with a short walk and slowly increase the time and intensity of exercise. Exercise can help enhance the cat’s muscle strength and coordination.

4.Some simple methods can be used for balance training, such as letting the cat walk on a soft mat or standing on an unstable surface (such as a foam mat). These trainings can help cats improve their sense of balance and coordination.

5.Professional pet masseurs can be invited or under the guidance of veterinarians, massage and physical therapy can be carried out on cats. Massage can promote blood circulation and relieve muscle tension, and physical therapy can help restore muscle function and nerve conduction.

6.Choose nutritious and easy-to-digest foods to ensure that cats get enough protein, vitamins and minerals. You can choose prescription food or high-quality wet food specially designed for sick cats. Cat food containing high protein can help cats recover muscle mass, and vitamin B can promote the recovery of the nervous system.

7.According to the veterinarian’s advice, some nutrients can be supplemented for cats, such as fish oil, vitamin E, glucosamine, etc. These nutrients can help reduce inflammation, protect nerve tissue, and promote joint health. For example, the Omega-3 fatty acid in fish oil has anti-inflammatory effects, which is beneficial to the health of cats’ nervous system and joints.

8.Clear the obstacles in the living environment of cats to avoid them getting injured by colliding with items when walking. Ensure that the activity space for cats is safe and spacious.

9.Provide cats with soft and comfortable kennels or mats so that cats can relax their bodies when resting. A comfortable rest environment helps the cat’s body recover.

10.Sick cats need more care and companionship. Spend more time interacting with the cat, touching it, and talking to it, so that the cat can feel the care and support of its owner. This helps to reduce the cat’s stress and anxiety and promote physical recovery.

11.Try to maintain the stability of the cat’s living environment and avoid frequent environmental changes and noise interference. A stable environment can make cats feel at ease, which is conducive to physical recovery.

Answer

If hair loss occurs due to ulcer wounds at the injection site, the hair is unlikely to grow back after healing, but a small number of cats will regrow their hair.

Reason

The hair follicles at the roots of the hair are damaged and cannot grow brand new hair.

Solution

1.Small areas can be covered by hair from other places.

2.Pay attention to preventing liquid leakage during injection (refer to the injection method and injection FAQ)

3.The hair can be removed first to facilitate the observation of the situation after injection and timely wipe off the leakage on the cat’s body.

Answer

Most ascites caused by feline infectious peritonitis begin to subside within one week, some start to subside in about 15 days, and very few start to subside in 21 days.

Reason

1.When the quality of the medicine is fine, it takes time for the body to absorb ascites after the immune system suppresses the virus.

2.The kidneys are damaged and the ability to handle ascites is insufficient

3.Insufficient dosage of drugs

Answer

Most cats’ ascites begin to subside in a week, some begin to subside in about 15 days, and a very few begin to subside in 21 days.

Reason

1. If there is no problem with the quality of the drug, the body will absorb ascites after the immune system suppresses the virus, which takes time.

2. Kidney damage leads to a continuous increase in ascites.

3. It is not predicted that the change in cat’s weight will lead to insufficient drug use.

4. Insufficient drug concentration or failure

Solution

1.Determine the type of cat-to-abdominal transmission. The amount of medication is different for different types, which may cause insufficient medication.

2.Provide kidney support drugs for cats

3.It is confirmed that the disease suffered by cats is cat-borne transmission.

4.Closely observe the situation of the cat and record the abdominal circumference of the cat.

5.Determine the quality of the drug (the dosage can be increased. If the effect is better after increasing, it may be an error in the diagnosis of the type of abdominal transmission or the concentration of the drug is insufficient)

Answer

Most cats’ ascites begin to subside in a week, some begin to subside in about 15 days, and a very few begin to subside in 21 days.

Reason

1.If there is no problem with the quality of the drug, it takes time for the body to absorb ascites after the immune system suppresses the virus.

2.Kidney damage and insufficient ability to treat ascites

3.Insufficient drug use

Solution

1.Determine the type of cat-to-abdominal transmission. The amount of medication is different for different types, which may cause insufficient medication.

2.Provide kidney support drugs for cats

3.It is confirmed that the disease suffered by cats is cat-borne transmission.

4.Closely observe the situation of the cat and record the abdominal circumference of the cat.

Reason

1.The treatment drugs for feline infectious peritonitis may affect the digestive system function of cats, resulting in a slower intestinal peristalsis and thereby causing constipation.

2.During the treatment period, it may be due to changes in appetite or adjustment of diet to match the treatment, resulting in insufficient dietary fiber intake or excessive food, resulting in constipation.

3.If the cat eats less during treatment, it may also weaken the intestinal peristalsis and cause constipation.

4.During the illness and treatment, the cat’s activity may decrease, which will affect the normal peristalsis of the intestine, causing the feces to stay in the intestine for too long, and the water is overabsorbed, leading to constipation.

5.Cat’s abdominal transmission may cause water loss in the cat’s body. In addition, if sufficient water is not replenished in time during the treatment process, it is easy to cause dehydration, dry stools, and constipation.

Solution

1. Use kaiselu or feed lactose

2. Interact with well-recovered cats to increase cat activity and promote intestinal peristalsis.

3. Massage the abdomen and gently rub the abdomen counterclockwise.

4.Foods with high cellulose content added to food, such as pumpkin, broccoli, etc.

5.Prepare wet food

6.Rehydrate the cat in time, and feed it if necessary.

7.Consult veterinary solutions in time if necessary.

Answer

1.If the cat’s abdominal transmission is in the early stage and the impact on the eyes is relatively light, the pupil size may gradually return to normal within a few weeks or even a month or two under the condition of timely and effective treatment.

2.If the condition is serious, especially if it has caused serious damage to the nervous system, the recovery time may be greatly prolonged, and it may not even be able to fully return to normal.

3.If the cat responds well to the cat’s abdominal-transmission treatment drugs (such as 441, etc.) and the overall condition of the body gradually improves, the inconsistent pupil size may also slowly recover with the improvement of the condition. But this process may last for weeks or months.

Reason

1.Oculomotor nerve damage: The oculomotor nerve is responsible for controlling eye movement and pupil size and other functions. If the oclomotatory nerve is affected by the feline abdominal virus, its function may be abnormal, resulting in abnormal pupil size regulation. For example, one side of the oculomotor nerve paralysis may cause the pupil on the other side to be dilated, while the pupil on the other side is normal, resulting in a situation where the pupil is large and small.

2.Imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic: The size of the pupil is regulated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic. Cat’s abdominal transmission may interfere with the normal function of these two nerves, breaking the balance between them. For example, the pupil narrows when the parasympathetic nerve is excited, and the pupil dilates when the sympathetic nerve is excited. If this imbalance is out of balance, it may lead to inconsistent pupil size.

Solution

There are differences in the physical condition, immune system, etc. of different cats, which will also affect the recovery time. Some cats may recover relatively quickly, while others may take longer. In a word, it is impossible to give an exact answer to the recovery time of the inconsistent pupil size caused by the cat’s abdominal transmission. It is necessary to closely observe the changes in the cat’s condition, actively cooperate with the veterinarian for treatment and nursing, and wait patiently for the cat’s recovery.

Reason

1.When the abdominal cat stopped taking the drug, it was not re-examination at all. Some globulin was stopped after more than 40. At present, the needle globulin 34-36 and albumin was more than 30, and there was basically no recurrence. Many people only pursue 84 days and don’t care about the biochemical value. Whether any disease is good or not, we refer to the mental state of the cat and the review report. Many doctors will not look at the routine blood report. They think that white blood cell 13 is normal.

2.If the cat has not been vaccinated or the antibody does not meet the standard after vaccination, it may be infected with cat fever and other diseases in the pet hospital.

3.The cat’s abdominal virus may not have been completely cleared, or the cat’s body is still in the recovery stage, and the immune system has not fully returned to normal. At this time, it is prone to recurrence of the disease, leading to fever. Some cats have significantly improved their symptoms in the later stage of treatment, but there may still be a small amount of virus residue in the body. Once the drug is stopped, the virus may be active again.

4.Cats’ immunity declines and they are prone to secondary infections of other bacteria, viruses or fungi. After stopping the drug, if there is a secondary infection, it may cause fever.

5.In addition to cat abdominal transmission and related problems, cats may also suffer from other diseases, which occur after stopping the drug, manifested as fever.

Solution

1. Once you find that the cat has a fever after stopping the drug, you should take it to the pet hospital immediately. Veterinarians will conduct comprehensive physical examinations, including body temperature measurement, blood tests, ultrasound examinations, etc., to determine the cause of fever.
