Can Feline Rhinotracheitis (Cat Flu) Spread to Humans?
Cat flu cannot infect humans; the herpesvirus is species-specific and only spreads among cats via contact or droplets. Isolate an infected cat to protect other cats.
My one-year-old vaccinated tabby female cat weighs nine jin, very active; vomited last night, didn’t eat, went to hospital, white cells at 1-something, vet said timely; now hospitalized on fluids; is it serious?
Feline panleukopenia is viral; cure rate depends on the cat's condition, immunity, severity, and treatment. Adult cats have a much higher cure rate than kittens, and vaccination plus good condition raise the odds. With proper early treatment, the cure rate is 70-90%; later treatment about 40%.
Lying still all the time, breathing heavily
A cat that is lethargic and breathing hard may have respiratory disease, infection, hereditary conditions, or parasites; a single symptom can't confirm cause. A weak kitten may have caught a chill. See a vet for diagnosis.
My cat won’t gain weight and its long fur is a bit thin.
Failing to gain weight with thin fur suggests poor nutrition—often low-quality food, parasites, poor absorption, or endocrine disease. Have a vet check for gut parasites and digestive/endocrine issues, then switch to higher-protein food and add goat milk, boiled chicken, beef. Add fish oil, lecithin, vitamin B for coat and skin immunity.
How good is the cat vaccine Miao San Duo (Meow Three Duo)?
The Miao San Duo vaccine effectively prevents feline panleukopenia (distemper), feline viral rhinotracheitis (herpes), and calicivirus - all widespread and especially dangerous to kittens, so vaccination is very important. It is well recognized, widely used in clinics and catteries, with good effect and feedback. Generally start the first shot at 2 months, then every 21-28 days for 3 shots.
My Two-Month-Old Cat Still Has Folded Ears – Will They Stand Up, and Can It Still Get Sick?
Droopy ears at two months do not necessarily mean a fold-eared cat. If the parents carry the fold gene, the ears will not stand and the cat can develop limb deformities and lameness at any time. Other breeds may have droopy ears from calcium deficiency, injury, or weak ear cartilage.
There are hard spots behind the neck and under the hips, and the nose keeps sneezing.
From the photo, the cat may have a respiratory infection and ringworm. Eye/nose discharge suggests a cold or feline rhinotracheitis; the crusts and dandruff on the neck suggest ringworm. Kittens have weak immunity. Use antifungal cream for ringworm; see a vet for the respiratory signs, and if it's rhinotracheitis, add lysine.
What cat can a Scottish Fold be bred with?
Scottish Folds carry a hereditary bone disease, so avoid Fold-to-Fold mating. Breed them with non-fold cats like British or American Shorthairs to reduce the chance of folded, defective offspring.
My cat was stressed after its mother hit it, hides, can’t stand, walks unsteady, eats little but normal elimination; how to treat, cost
Stress usually doesn't directly cause inability to stand unless severe, causing arrhythmia, clots, heart failure. Stress also lowers immunity, inviting FIP or gastroenteritis causing weakness. Mother may have hit a nerve (rare). Long fasting may cause low blood sugar; give nutrition and observe. If no improvement or new symptoms, see a vet for heart/nerve issues.
My pregnant cat has a runny nose, occasional sneezes and reddish-brown eye discharge – what medicine?
A pregnant cat needs careful medication to protect the kittens. For mild rhinotracheitis, use vet-approved supplements and lysine to boost immunity; for severe signs, see a vet promptly.
