FIP Cat FAQ-Treatment issues

Pathogeny

1. Oral use of GS drugs will cause diarrhea in cats.

2. The cat’s intestines are seriously damaged and have not recovered.

3. The cat’s abdomen is stimulated by cold, causing diarrhea.

4. Cats steal other foods that cause diarrhea.

Solution

1. Feed steamed or boiled pumpkins

2. Give cats laxatives for treatment

3. Take probiotics

4. Change the type of drug and change to needle

5. Create a warm and comfortable rest area for cats

Answer

The use of in vitro deworming drugs is prohibited during treatment.

Reason

1. During the treatment of the cat, its body is weak, the immune system is suppressed, and external parasite prevention will cause additional burdens for the cat and affect its recovery.

2. The deworming medicine may cause some adverse reactions, and during the onset of feline infectious peritonitis, the cat’s body may have difficulty tolerating these side effects

3. Specific deworming drugs may interact with therapeutic drugs.

4. Deworming drugs will additionally increase the burden of liver and kidney function, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.

Solution

1. During the consolidation period after the condition stabilizes, one can consult a veterinarian to choose a mild external parasite repellent for deworming.

2. Keep the environment clean and tidy

3. Use disinfectant to disinfect the cat’s activity area, and pay attention to avoid cats entering during disinfection.

4. Reduce the outdoor activities of cats to prevent foreign parasite infection

5. Manually search for parasites on the cat’s body and eliminate them. This behavior can also enhance the relationship with the cat.

Answer

It is prohibited to use internal deworming drugs during the treatment period.

Reason

1. During the treatment of the cat, it is physically weak, the immune system is suppressed, and external parasite prevention will cause additional burdens for the cat and affect its recovery.

2. Some deworming drugs may cause some adverse reactions, and during the onset of feline infectious peritonitis, the cat’s body may have difficulty tolerating these side effects

3. Certain deworming drugs may interact with therapeutic drugs

4. The deworming drugs will impose an additional burden on liver and kidney functions, which is not conducive to the recovery of the condition.

Solution

1. During the consolidation period after the condition stabilizes, one can consult a veterinarian to choose a mild internal deworming medicine for deworming.

2. Supplement nutrition to prevent cats from lacking nutrition due to parasites.

3. Keep the litter box clean and change the cat litter frequently

4. Reduce the outdoor activities of cats to prevent infection from external parasites

Answer

Vaccination is prohibited during the treatment period.

Reason

1.During the illness of the cat, its body is weak, the immune system is severely disturbed, it may not be able to generate an immune response, cannot produce antibodies, and instead will cause the cat to develop new diseases.

2.The vaccine itself may cause some adverse reactions, such as fever, loss of appetite, mental depression, etc. Cats may not be able to withstand these reactions during abdominal transmission, thus aggravating the disease.

3.Vaccines may stimulate the immune system of cats, causing an overreaction of the immune system and thereby worsening the condition of cats.

4.Some drugs may interfere with the normal therapeutic effect.

Solution

1. It is recommended to be vaccinated 3-6 months after the treatment is completed.

2. Limit the range of cats’ activities and reduce the probability of cats being infected with other diseases.

Answer

It is not recommended to take a shower during treatment.

Reason

1.Cats love cleanliness and will clean their own hair in the later stage of treatment.

2.During the illness, cats are physically weak and have a low immune capacity. Bathing them is likely to cause upper respiratory tract infections in cats, increase the physical burden, and affect treatment and recovery.

3.The bathing process may cause the cat’s stress reaction, which is the cat’s excessive tension and fear, which is easy to have an adverse impact on the cat’s treatment.

4.Cats usually have received injection-based treatment methods, and their bodies are generally injured. Bathing may cause the scabs of the wounds to fall off or lead to wound infections. After infection, the treatment is relatively difficult.

5.If the bathing environment for cats is not hygienic, they may be exposed to more bacteria and viruses.

6.If cats take baths in other profit-making places, it may cause them to come into contact with viruses or bacteria of other diseases, resulting in the risk of contracting other diseases.

Solution

1. After the condition is stable, one can take a bath in accordance with the veterinarian’s advice.

2. When wiping the cat’s body with wet wipes, the specific positions need to be clear. Pay attention to drying it in time.

Answer

The diseases transmitted by cats will not be transmitted to each other, but the coronavirus that causes the disease will be contagious.

Reason

The pathogenic virus of feline infectious peritonitis is derived from the common coronavirus through mutation, but the mutation requires specific conditions, such as stress, immune system diseases, and incomplete development of the immune system. Therefore, there is a risk of virus transmission when cats live in groups. However, the disease itself is not contagious because the common virus usually does not mutate.

Solution

1.Try not to share the litter box or tableware as much as possible

2. Keep the environment clean and disinfect it frequently.

3. Provide cats with nutritionally balanced food

4. Health food supplements can be provided to other cats according to the veterinarian’s advice to enhance immunity.

5. Take the cat for a regular physical examination

Answer

Stress can lead to serious problems with the already damaged internal organs and the circulatory system in the body, resulting in irreparable consequences.

Reason

Stress in cats can lead to decreased appetite, pulmonary edema, cardiomyopathy, fatty liver, spontaneous cystitis, and other conditions. During the treatment of feline infectious peritonitis, cats have fragile bodies. At this time, serious complications can cause the cat’s condition to deteriorate rapidly. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the cat from being stressed again.

Solution

1. Maintain the stability of the cat’s living environment and do not change it easily. If it is necessary to change the living environment or go to a new place, please bring the items that the cat is accustomed to to the new place together.

2. Fix the daily necessities such as the cat litter box, food bowl, and water bowl to avoid random changes.

3.When replacing new things for cats, you should combine new and old items.

4.Interact with cats gently and avoid sudden loud noises or scaring them.

5.When cats don’t want to be disturbed during non-treatment periods, they should respect their wishes and do not forcibly interact with them.

6.Maintain a regular schedule, feed, play and clean the cat litter box at fixed times to make the cat’s life predictable

7.Be careful when going out

Answer

Stress can lead to serious problems with the already damaged internal organs and the circulatory system in the body, resulting in irreparable consequences.

Reason

1.At present, there is no conclusive evidence indicating that interferon has a definite therapeutic effect on feline infectious peritonitis. The treatment of feline infectious peritonitis mainly relies on antiviral drugs, immunomodulators, and supportive therapies, etc. Moreover, the use of interferon may bring some side effects, such as fever, vomiting, and loss of appetite, etc.

2.At the same time, some people believe that interferon can be used in the treatment of cat-to-abdominal transmission. Interferon has certain antiviral, regulating immunity and other effects. In the treatment of cat abdominal transmission, it may help to enhance the immunity of cats and inhibit the replication and spread of the virus.

Solution

Whether interferon is used for the cat’s abdominal transmission needs to be comprehensively judged and decided by a professional veterinarian according to the specific situation of the cat. Veterinarians will consider the severity of the cat’s condition, physical condition, treatment cost and other factors to decide whether to use interferon.

Answer

The necessity of extracting ascites in feline infectious peritonitis needs to be analyzed based on different situations.

Need

1.If a cat has ascites but is in a relatively stable overall condition, has a decent appetite, shows no obvious listlessness in mental state, and the ascites does not cause severe compression on important organs, it is not recommended to extract the ascites at this time. Because the fundamental problem of feline infectious peritonitis lies in viral infection, extracting the ascites cannot solve the cause of the disease and may instead bring some adverse consequences.

2.The extraction of ascites is only a means to relieve symptoms and cannot cure the disease. Moreover, frequent extraction of ascites may lead to a significant loss of proteins, electrolytes, etc. in the cat’s body, making the cat’s body even weaker and affecting its own immunity and recovery ability.

3.Extracting ascites is an invasive operation, and there is a certain risk of infection. If it is improperly operated or carried out in an inappropriate environment, it may cause serious complications such as peritonitis, further aggravating the cat’s condition.

4.For some cats with poor physical conditions and low immunity, extracting ascites may impose a greater physical burden on them and may even lead to deterioration of the condition.

No need

1.When the amount of ascites is large, which has a serious impact on the cat’s breathing, circulation and other important physiological functions, such as difficulty in breathing, rapid heartbeat, abnormal blood pressure, etc., it is necessary to extract part of the ascites to relieve the symptoms. In this case, ascites is extracted to improve the quality of life of cats, so that they can breathe normally and maintain basic vital activities.

2.In some cases, in order to clearly diagnose feline infectious peritonitis or rule out other diseases, a small amount of ascites may need to be extracted for laboratory tests. Through the analysis of ascites, it can be determined whether there are feline infectious peritonitis viruses, bacterial infections, tumor cells, etc., thereby providing a basis for formulating an accurate treatment plan.

Adverse consequences

1.The amount of drugs per unit can only inhibit the proliferation of a fixed number of viruses, and the insufficient part can still replicate and proliferate freely, resulting in the virus being completely destroyed.

2.The state of being in a low blood drug concentration for a long time will lead to the attack of the virus on the drug, resulting in a severely weakened effect of the drug’s killing, an increased demand for the drug, but an insufficient supply of the drug, falling into a vicious cycle, and ultimately resulting in treatment failure.

Solution

1.Immediately increase the dosage of GS drug to the normal value

2.Observe the physical reactions: After adjusting the dosage of the medication, closely observe the physical changes of the cat. Pay attention to observing the cat’s appetite, mental state, activity level, body temperature and other aspects to see if there are improvements or new abnormal symptoms.

3.According to the veterinarian’s requirements, take the cat to the hospital for regular reexaminations. The reexamination items may include blood tests, biochemical tests, ultrasound examinations, etc., to evaluate the cat’s physical condition and treatment effect.

4.Judge the progress of the cat’s condition according to the results of the review, and determine whether it is necessary to continue to adjust the dose or take other treatment measures.

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.

2. It should continue to use GS drugs for treatment if it is determined that feline infectious peritonitis has not fully recovered.

3. For other infections of confirmed cats, targeted treatment according to the guidance of veterinarians.

4.After returning home, closely observe the changes in the cat’s symptoms, including body temperature, appetite, mental state, and excretion conditions, etc. If the symptoms do not improve or worsen, contact the veterinarian in time.

Answer

It’s better not to, but if there is a conflict with work, you can bring it in advance, but try not to postpone it.

Reason

1.The concentration of GS drugs in the blood gradually rises to the highest level in 24 hours, which is its half-life.

2.Early injection or administration of medicine will increase the blood drug concentration, and generally there is no special influence.

3.After a period of treatment, the cat’s condition was stable and the impact was minimal at this time.

4.Delaying the injection or medication administration time can lead to a decrease in blood drug concentration, affecting the treatment effect. For cats in the early stage of the disease, it may cause drug resistance in the viruses in their bodies.

Solution

1.If it is delayed for 1-2 hours occasionally, there is no need to beat/feed more.

2.If you miss the dose/omission to feed for one day, you will be given half the more dose in the next two days. The time error should be controlled within half an hour as much as possible, especially in the first two weeks.

Reason

1.The diagnosis of cat-abdominal transmission type is wrong, resulting in a small amount of medication.

2.Insufficient drug concentration

3.In the initial stage of treatment, tablets or capsules are used. Oral medications rely on the digestive system’s absorption capacity. However, in the early stage of feline infectious peritonitis, the digestive system is damaged and the absorption capacity is insufficient, resulting in insufficient blood drug concentration.

4.The decline of immunity leads to the invasion of other viruses or bacteria into the body, resulting in concurrent infections

5.The recurrent inflammatory response in the body caused by feline infectious peritonitis

6.The treatment of feline infectious peritonitis requires a certain amount of time. During the treatment process, the virus may not be 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, the condition may relapse, resulting in a fever.

Solution

1.Accurately measure the body temperature of the cat using a pet-specific thermometer to understand the degree of fever. Generally speaking, the normal body temperature of a cat is between 38°C and 39.2°C. If it exceeds 39.2°C, it can be considered that the cat has a fever.

2.Observe other symptoms of cats, such as appetite, mental state, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, runny nose, etc. These symptoms can help determine the cause of the cat’s fever and the severity of the disease.

3.If the cat’s body temperature is not particularly high, you can try the physical cooling method first. 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.

4.Put the cat in a cool and ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature. You can use a fan or air conditioner to adjust the indoor temperature, but be careful not to let the cat blow directly to the air outlet.

5.Adjust the treatment plan of cat abdominal transmission according to the situation of the cat. This may include adjusting the drug dose, replacing the drug, adding auxiliary treatment, etc.

6.If the fever is caused by complications, the veterinarian will carry out corresponding treatments for the complications. For example, if it is a bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment may be given.

7.Fever can cause cats to lose water in their bodies more quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that cats can drink fresh and clean drinking water at any time. You can place several water bowls or use an automatic water dispenser to attract cats to drink more water.

8.Choose high-quality and easily digestible food to meet the nutritional needs of cats and enhance their immunity. You can choose wet food, canned food or homemade food according to the taste and appetite of cats.

9.If the fever is severe or accompanied by other serious symptoms, take the cat to the hospital for further examination and treatment

Reason

1.Feline abdominal virus infection will affect the hematopoietic function of cats’ bone marrow. Bone marrow is the main place for the production of red blood cells. The virus may interfere with hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, reducing their ability to produce red blood cells.

2.Feline abdominal virus may shorten the life expectancy of red blood cells in cats. Under normal circumstances, red blood cells can survive in the body for a certain period of time, but after being infected with feline abdominal virus, red blood cells may be attacked by viruses or the immune system and destroyed in advance.

3.The cat’s abdominal transmission will trigger a strong inflammatory reaction in the body and release a large number of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines. These inflammatory mediators will affect the production and lifespan of red blood cells.

4.Long-term inflammatory conditions will consume the body’s nutrients and energy, including nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid used for red blood cell production. The lack of these nutrients will lead to insufficient red blood cell production, resulting in anemia.

5.Cat’s abdominal transmission will cause the cat’s appetite to decline and eat less. Long-term malnutrition will affect the body’s normal metabolism and function, including the production of red blood cells.

6.Cat’s abdominal transmission may affect the cat’s liver and kidney function. The liver is an important organ that synthesizes some substances related to red blood cell production, such as ferritin. The kidneys can secrete erythropoietin to stimulate the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. If the liver and kidney function are impaired, the synthesis and secretion of these substances will decrease, thus affecting the production of red blood cells.

Solution

1.Ensure that the cat uses drugs to treat cat’s abdominal transmission on time and in the amount, and insist on completing the whole treatment course to control virus replication and reduce the body’s inflammatory response, so as to improve the overall health of the cat, which also helps to relieve the symptoms of anemia.

2.Choose foods of high quality and rich in nutrients such as protein, iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid. High-quality protein can be selected from animal protein sources such as chicken, fish and beef. Foods rich in iron include liver, red meat, etc. But be careful to feed in moderation, because excessive liver may cause vitamin A poisoning. Vitamin B12 is mainly found in animal foods such as meat, fish and eggs. Folic acid can be found in green leafy vegetables, beans and other foods. If the cat does not eat vegetables, consider feeding the cat nutritional supplements containing folic acid.

3.Under the advice of the veterinarian, you can use some blood-replenishing health care products for cats, such as blood-replenishment liver essence, lactoferrin, etc.

4.In the case of severe anemia, veterinarians may recommend blood transfusion treatment.

5.Try to keep the cat’s living environment stable and avoid frequent environmental changes and noise interference. Stress may aggravate the symptoms of anemia in cats, so let them rest in a quiet and comfortable environment.

6.When the cat’s physical condition permits, appropriately increase the cat’s amount of exercise. Exercise can promote blood circulation and enhance the cat’s physical fitness, but be careful to avoid excessive exercise.

Reason

1.Cat’s abdominal transmission may cause excessive fluid to accumulate in the chest cavity, that is, pleural effusion. These fluid accumulations will compress the lungs, making them unable to fully expand, thus causing shortness of breath.

2.Cat abdominal transmission may cause anemia, which reduces the oxygen delivery capacity of the cat’s body. In order to get more oxygen, the cat’s breathing becomes rapid.

3.The immunity of cats infected with cats has decreased, and they are prone to secondary lung infections. Infection can cause inflammation of the lungs, affect the normal function of the lungs, and cause shortness of breath.

4.Cat’s abdominal transmission may cause damage to the heart and lead to cardiac insufficiency. The heart cannot effectively pump blood to the whole body, which will cause congestion in the lungs, which will lead to shortness of breath.

5.Cat’s abdominal transmission will bring physical pain and discomfort to cats, and stress during treatment can also lead to shortness of breath.

Solution

1.Ensure that the medication for feline infectious peritonitis is administered to the cat on time and in the correct dosage. Effective treatment can control the condition, reduce the occurrence of complications such as pleural effusion, and thereby alleviate the symptoms of shortness of breath.

2.If the cat has pleural effusion, the veterinarian may decide whether to perform pleural puncture drainage according to the amount of effusion and the symptoms of the cat. By extracting the fluid in the chest cavity, it can reduce the compression of the lungs and improve breathing conditions.

3.If the cat has severe anemia, the veterinarian may consider blood transfusion treatment or blood tonic drugs. At the same time, by adjusting the diet and providing nutritious food, it can also help cats improve their anemia.

4.If a cat has a lung infection, veterinarians will use the corresponding antibiotics for treatment based on the type of infection. Meanwhile, some supportive treatments, such as oxygen inhalation and atomization, can be given to alleviate the symptoms of shortness of breath.

5.If the cat is suspected to have a heart problem, further diagnosis such as cardiac ultrasound can be carried out. According to the specific situation of the heart problem, give corresponding drug treatment, such as diuretics, heart tonic, etc.

6.It can provide cats with a quiet and comfortable environment, reduce external stimulation, and relieve the pain and stress of cats. At the same time, some painkillers or sedatives can be used under the guidance of the veterinarian.

Answer

1.Generally speaking, with active treatment and appropriate rehabilitation, mildly paralyzed cats may gradually recover within weeks to months. The specific time may range from 2 weeks to 3 months.

2.Some cats with mild symptoms may begin to recover 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.

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

Solution

1.Make sure to use drugs to treat cat abdominal transmission to cats on time and in accordance with the dose. Effective drug treatment can control virus replication, reduce inflammatory reactions, and create a good internal environment for nerve and muscle recovery.

2.At the stage when the cat cannot move autonomously, it can be passively exercised by the owner or under the guidance of a professional. Gently move the cat’s paralyzed limbs, such as bending and stretching joints, massaging muscles, etc., to promote blood circulation and prevent muscle atrophy and joint stiffness.

3.When the cat has certain signs of recovery, you can use assistive devices, such as towels, suspenders, etc., to help the cat stand and walk. Gradually increase the cat’s weight and activity time to enhance muscle strength and coordination. First, gently support the cat’s abdomen with a towel, let it try to stand, and then slowly guide it to walk. Each training time should not be too long to avoid excessive fatigue of the cat.

4.Balance training can improve the cat’s body coordination and balance. You can use balance boards, yoga balls and other tools to let the cat stand or walk on an unstable surface to challenge its balance ability. Put the yoga ball on the ground, let the cat stand on it, and the owner will support and protect it, gradually increasing the cat’s stay on the ball.

5.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.

6.On the advice of the veterinarian, the cat can be supplemented with some nutritional supplements, such as vitamins B1, B6, B12, etc., which are essential for the normal function of the nervous system. They can promote the metabolism and regeneration of nerve cells and help the repair of damaged nerves, as well as metocobalmin, an endogenous coenzyme B12, which can promote the metabolism of nucleic acids, proteins and lipids in nerve cells, thus promoting the repair and regeneration of nerves.

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

8.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. Apply hot compresses 2-3 times a day, each time for 15-20 minutes. The temperature should be comfortable for the cat and avoid overheating and burns.

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

10.Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical therapy and may be of certain help 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. Under the guidance of a veterinarian, the use of baclofen can relieve muscle spasms and tension and has a certain improvement effect on muscle stiffness caused by paralysis. It acts on the neurons of the spinal cord, inhibits excessive muscle excitation, thereby reducing muscle tension.

Answer

Complications such as ringworm often occur in cats with feline infectious peritonitis, and precautions should be taken in advance to avoid them.

Reason

1.Cat abdominal transmission is caused by the mutation of the cat coronavirus, which attacks the immune system of cats, resulting in a decline in the cat’s immunity. The immune system is an important defense line of the body against various pathogens. When immunity is reduced, cats’ resistance to fungi and other pathogens will also weaken. For example, after white blood cells, lymphocytes and other immune cells in cats are attacked, they will not be able to effectively identify and remove invading fungi.

2.Cat’s abdominal transmission will make the cat weak, lose appetite, and lose weight. The weakness of the body will further affect the function of the immune system, making cats more susceptible to various pathogens.

3.During the cat’s abdominal disease, the cat’s appetite declines, which may lead to malnutrition. Malnutrition will affect the health of the skin and weaken the barrier function of the skin. The skin is the first line of defense of the body. When the barrier function is damaged, fungi are more likely to invade the skin and cause skin skine.

4.The drugs for treating feline infectious peritonitis may have certain side effects on the cat’s skin and affect the health of the skin. For example, some drugs may cause symptoms such as skin allergies and itching, making the cat scratch the skin and thereby damaging the barrier function of the skin.

5.During the illness of feline infectious peritonitis, cats may be unable to maintain their own cleanliness due to physical discomfort, and at the same time, the owner may neglect the environmental hygiene because of being busy taking care of the cat. If the cat’s living environment is unhygienic and there are a large number of fungal spores, then the cat is more likely to be infected with ringworm.

6.The damp environment is conducive to the growth and reproduction of fungi. During the illness, cats cannot clean their fur in time, resulting in the inability to keep themselves dry and clean, which is prone to the occurrence of ringworm in cats.

Solution

1.Use warm water and mild pet-specific shower gel to gently wash the affected area to remove dirt and dandruff. Then gently wipe dry with a clean towel. Be careful not to wipe hard to avoid damaging the skin.

2.If the cat has pleural effusion, the veterinarian may decide whether to perform pleural puncture drainage according to the amount of effusion and the symptoms of the cat. By extracting the fluid in the chest cavity, it can reduce the compression of the lungs and improve breathing conditions.

3.If the cat’s ringworm is relatively serious, or the local treatment effect is not good, you can take antifungal drugs orally under the advice of the veterinarian. The oral drugs need to be carried out strictly according to the prescribed dosage and use time of the veterinarian. Note that the cat’s liver and kidney function is not good, and use it strictly according to the veterinary guidance.

4.Cats are weak and have poor resistance, so they need to keep their living environment clean and hygienic. Regularly clean up cat litterboxes, toys and other cat supplies, and disinfect them with special disinfectants for pets.

5.Ringworm in cats is prone to breed and spread in a humid environment. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the living environment of cats dry and well-ventilated. Dehumidifiers, air purifiers and other equipment can be used to reduce the environmental humidity. At the same time, cats should be exposed to more sunlight, as the ultraviolet rays in the sunlight also have a certain bactericidal effect.

6.Cat’s abdominal and cat’s ringworm will consume cats’ body energy, so it is necessary to provide nutritious and easy-to-digest food to enhance cats’ immunity.

Answer

Cats that are transmitted to the abdomen often have complications of cat ringworm, which should be avoided in advance.

Reason

1.When the cat’s abdominal disease progresses to the point where strong feeding is needed, the stomach generally does not eat effectively for a long time, and the stomach capacity will generally become smaller. If it is still calculated according to the cat’s previous intake, it will obviously exceed the actual tolerance of the cat, which will cause the cat to vomit.

2.Cat’s abdominal transmission will have an adverse effect on the cat’s digestive system. The virus may invade the liver, pancreas and other digestive organs, affecting the secretion of digestive juices and the digestion and absorption of food.

3.Cat’s abdominal transmission makes the cat’s body very weak, and may also cause metabolic disorders in the body. This will affect the cat’s demand and use of nutrients, reducing the tolerance of the cat’s gastrointestinal tract to food.

4.If the speed is too fast during forced feeding, or the amount of food given at a time is too much, it will cause the cat’s stomach to overexpand, causing vomiting reflexes. When using a syringe for forced feeding, if the speed of injection is too fast, the cat will not have time to swallow, and the food may enter the trachea or stimulate the stomach to cause vomiting.

5.Force-feeding is an unpleasant experience for cats and may cause stress and fear to them. This psychological state can affect the gastrointestinal function of cats, resulting in vomiting.

Solution

1.Reference FIP Cat Nursing skills Force feed

Reason

1.Despite a period of treatment, cat abdominal transmission may not have fully recovered, and the adverse effects of the virus on the digestive system may persist. For example, the virus may continue to damage the liver, pancreas and other digestive organs, affecting the secretion of digestive juice and the normal digestion and absorption of food, resulting in vomiting.

2.Cat transmission to the abdomen will cause an inflammatory reaction in the body, and even after treatment, the inflammation may not have completely subsided. The inflammatory mediator may stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, causing vomiting and other symptoms.

3.The drugs for treating feline infectious peritonitis may cause some side effects, among which vomiting is a relatively common one.

4.During the treatment process, if the drug dosage is not adjusted properly, it may cause adverse reactions in cats. The most common one is that the drug dosage is not changed in real time according to the weight change of the cat. For example, an excessively high drug dosage may increase the physical burden, cause drug side effects and lead to symptoms such as vomiting; while a too low dosage may fail to effectively control the disease, allowing the disease to continuously affect the body and cause vomiting.

5.During the treatment period, the diet of the cat may need to be adjusted. If the diet is improper, such as the food being too greasy, highly stimulating, or not fresh, it may cause the cat to vomit.

Solution

1.Continue to observe the cat’s condition. If the subsequent symptoms are reduced, there is no need to be nervous.

2.Adjust the dosage, type or treatment plan of the medicine to reduce side effects and alleviate vomiting symptoms

3.Provide dietary advice suitable for the cat’s condition, such as choosing easy-to-digest and nutritious food and avoiding irritating food.

4Conduct a comprehensive physical examination, including blood tests, stool tests, abdominal ultrasounds, etc., to determine the cause of vomiting
