Feline plague is usually transmitted to other cats through saliva and excrement. If a healthy cat comes into contact with the feces, urine, vomit of a sick cat, or any object with the virus attached to it, it is very likely that the cat will contract feline distemper. If a person comes into contact with a cat infected with feline distemper, infection can also occur if the person returns home without disinfection and comes into contact with a healthy cat. Therefore, owners should pay attention to washing their hands when returning home after contacting other cats outside.

Tips:

The incubation period of feline distemper is 2-9 days, and clinical symptoms are related to age and virus virulence. Kittens often suffer from acute illness, with body temperature rising above 40°C and vomiting. Many cats do not show any symptoms and die suddenly. Some may show symptoms of spinal ataxia.
