Cat plague that has not died within seven days does not necessarily mean it will be cured soon. It depends on the cat’s current mental state and complications. Generally, most cats will recover after being treated for a week, but some cats will have many other complications when infected with cat plague, such as pancreatitis, pneumonia, parasites, etc., and there are also cat plague virus mutations that increase the virulence. The mortality rate is increased. Therefore, not all feline distemper infections require 7 days of treatment to indicate recovery from the disease. Instead, the actual condition of the cat must be evaluated to draw a conclusion.

How to treat cat plague:

1. Anti-vomiting: Food and water should be avoided when vomiting occurs. Use metoclopramide injection, 0.15~0.25 ml per kilogram of body weight, twice a day, intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

2. Anti-inflammation: Use gentamicin, 10,000 units per kilogram of body weight. Or use kanamycin, 50,000 to 100,000 units per kilogram of body weight, twice a day, intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

3. Antipyretic: Use Bupleurum injection, 0.3 ml per kilogram of body weight, twice a day.

4. Hemostasis: Use vitamin K3 injection, 0.3 ml per kilogram of body weight, twice a day, intramuscularly.

5. Diet therapy: It is recommended to feed a small amount of easily digestible, low-fiber, low-fat food, 3 to 6 times a day.
