What is cat distemper and what are its symptoms

Feline distemper, also known as feline panleukopenia, is also known as feline infectious enteritis, which is a highly contagious disease caused by feline parvovirus. It is highly contagious, has an acute onset, and has a high mortality rate. Kittens under 1 year old are more likely to get it than adult cats, and are more serious. The essence of feline plague is actually that a cat's white blood cells are greatly reduced or even disappeared, and white blood cells are the frontline soldiers responsible for resisting external invasion. When they are greatly reduced, the harm to cats can be imagined. Feline distemper mostly occurs in spring and autumn, and cats with incomplete or unvaccinated vaccinations are most susceptible to the disease.
Symptoms of cat plague:
1. Poor spirit: depressed and indifferent to the owner’s call and the environment.
2. Anorexia: Appetite decreases significantly, and in severe cases in the later stage, you may even stop drinking water.
3. High fever: The body temperature rises to above 40°C, lasts for about 24 hours, then drops to normal temperature, but can rise again after 2-3 days, showing a typical multi-phase fever type.
4. Vomiting: Frequent vomiting, and the vomitus is yellow and bile-like.
5. Diarrhea: watery stools with blood, severe dehydration, and rapid weight loss.
