Does feline panleukopenia have an incubation period?

Soft stools in cats are common and are not usually alarming if the cat is active and eating normally. They are often caused by diet — table scraps, sudden food changes, or overfeeding — or by gut issues such as infections, inflammatory bowel disease, parasites, or unbalanced gut flora. Adjusting the diet, adding probiotics, and deworming usually resolve it, but persistent or watery stools need a vet visit.
