Can cats still be infected with calicivirus after they are cured?

Recovered cats carry the virus for life and excrete the virus through their mouths, so there is a possibility of infecting other normal cats. However, cats that have recovered from infection will have relevant antibodies in their bodies, and these antibodies can neutralize feline calicivirus, making them less likely to be infected again. The clinical manifestations of feline calicivirus infection include oral and respiratory diseases, including oral ulcers, rhinitis, joint pain, fever, etc.

The symptoms of young cats infected with calicivirus are usually severe. Symptoms such as fever, rhinitis, and conjunctivitis will generally appear within three days after being infected with the virus. At the same time, the symptoms of calicivirus infection are similar to those of herpes virus infection. It is recommended to combine multiple diagnoses to determine the type of virus the cat is infected with, so as to provide basis for treatment in the future.
