Cat infectious peritonitis is a very dangerous disease, but also belongs to the chronic infectious disease. If cats suffer from this disease, the mortality rate is extremely high, and the likelihood that cats will recover from this disease is almost zero, so we must be very careful not to let their beloved cats get this disease. But fortunately, our country has not yet happened this disease.
The disease was first identified in the United States, and feline infectious peritonitis has been found in many Western countries. The disease is not specific to cat breed, sex or age. Purebred cats tend to have a higher incidence. Cats BETWEEN six months AND two YEARS old AND OLDER tend to have HIGHER rates than other cats. The disease can start to spread in a place, and it can also be spread through the feces of sick cats, so we need to be careful not to let our cats go to a dirty place to play.
Cat when suffering from infectious peritonitis, early symptoms are not very clear, we generally do not show, main show is the cat began to reduce appetite, and do not love to eat, also not too good a feeling of tightness in the spirit, the cat’s body temperature will rise to more than forty degrees Celsius, and then with the development of the disease, the cat belly will become more and more big. If it is a female cat, we usually think she is pregnant, and the body condition of the cat will become worse and worse, as the water in the abdomen accumulates, the cat will have difficulty breathing, the cat will not eat and become very thin, the cat may be sick for several weeks.
Only by giving the cat a good protection can we keep the cat away from this disease. After all, cats with this disease will feel very uncomfortable, and cats with infectious peritonitis, the odds of survival is also very small. This disease is very difficult to cure, so if your cat has this disease, then I can only give you two advice, one is euthanasia, because the chances of recovery is almost zero, the cat is suffering, the second advice is to continue to receive treatment, try to buy your cat more time.
