Is feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu) easy to treat?
Compared with feline distemper or FIP, cat flu is easier to treat and has a relatively higher cure rate. Early treatment is key, and even after recovery the cat carries the herpes virus for life and can relapse when resistance drops.
Can feline rhinotracheitis (cat flu) be cured?
With timely treatment, cat flu can be cured, and its cure rate is far higher than that of feline panleukopenia (distemper). However, a cat that recovers will carry the herpesvirus for life and may relapse when its immunity drops.
My cat has vomited three times since yesterday, eats little, and throws up right after eating – what is wrong?
Yellow foamy vomit suggests foreign object, hairballs, gastroenteritis, or pancreatitis; rule out distemper if unvaccinated. A vet exam guides treatment, including gastric lavage or surgery.
My cat vomited and tests showed feline distemper – what now?
For confirmed distemper, use antiviral serum and interferon plus symptomatic care; early treatment has a good cure rate. Follow up with vet visits after recovery.
My cat is weak, has no appetite, pus from the ears, and is vomiting blood.
Based on your description—lethargy, no appetite, pus from ears, vomiting blood—the condition is serious; see a vet promptly. Ear pus suggests infection (ear mites, otitis); vomiting blood can come from stomatitis, poisoning, gastroenteritis, distemper, pancreatitis, etc. Find the cause, then treat.
What happens when a Bichon Frise catches canine distemper?
In the early stage of distemper, a Bichon usually shows fever, increased eye and nasal discharge, coughing, reduced appetite, and lethargy. As the virus affects more organs, it may develop rapid breathing, worse coughing, diarrhea, vomiting, and bloody stool. In the late stage, distemper often attacks the nervous system, causing convulsions, ataxia (unsteady gait), and seizures, which can lead to coma and death without timely treatment.
My dog suddenly stopped eating; thought it was enteritis, treatment helped a bit but then it stopped eating and became very weak, couldn’t walk. Blood test showed a sudden drop in red blood cells; it just got a transfusion.
Low red-cell count can come from anemia, poor nutrition, toxins, infection, or disease; causes include internal bleeding or chronic illness. Further tests are needed. Ingested drugs/toxins or distemper can also lower red cells and appetite.
My dog is on medication but not improving; today it has more clear nasal discharge than before
Runny nose not improving on meds likely means wrong medication. A puppy's runny nose may be a cold or infectious disease. A two-month pup is unvaccinated, weak, and more likely infected (distemper, parainfluenza). Take to vet to confirm and treat, prevent worsening.
What happens if a cat gets parvo (feline panleukopenia)?
Feline parvo, also called feline distemper or feline panleukopenia, causes diarrhea, vomiting, fever, bloody stool, poor appetite, lethargy, and weight loss in cats. Without prompt treatment, the cat can die from dehydration within 7-14 days. In addition, the parvovirus can survive a long time in the environment and may spread to other cats through saliva, feces, and other contaminants. Therefore, once the owner suspects the cat is infected, take it to a veterinary clinic promptly for testing, begin isolation and treatment early after diagnosis, and disinfect the living environment regularly.
My cat has intermittent limb twitching, drools, is low-spirited, and has very hot ears
From your description, twitching, drooling, lethargy, and hot ears don't rule out poisoning, but heart disease, encephalitis, hydrocephalus, brain tumor, epilepsy, or distemper could also cause them. Get a vet exam to confirm the cause; the symptoms are serious, so timely treatment matters.
