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.
Soft stool, no appetite, listless, had diarrhea the day before yesterday
These signs likely mean acute gastroenteritis, intestinal parasites, or panleukopenia. See a vet for diagnosis; ongoing diarrhea with low intake causes weakness, so find the cause fast.
Cat Is Lethargic, Vomiting and Has Diarrhea
Causes include gastroenteritis, parasites, distemper or pancreatitis. See a vet; if not, use antibacterial, anti-vomit and anti-diarrhea meds with probiotics.
My cat has diarrhea with blood in the stool — is it because I recently changed its food?
Bloody stool can be parasites, indigestion, enteritis, or distemper. Recent food change likely caused indigestion or allergy; adjust diet, give probiotics, and transition food gradually. See a vet if it persists.
A 25-day kitten tested positive for coronavirus after diarrhea; what to do?
Diarrhea from feline coronavirus (FCOV) is common; it spreads easily and causes fever, poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and swollen anus, sometimes dehydration. Death rate is low but young kittens are fragile, so at 25 days seek vet care and follow the vet's medicine. Also disinfect the environment.
The vet found feline panleukopenia (distemper); after treatment the cat came home with a very big belly and sleeps a lot, but no vomiting or diarrhea
After panleukopenia, a cat's immunity drops, and stress during treatment can trigger feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), since FIP comes from mutated coronavirus. If you suspect FIP, see a vet promptly.
Why is my cat having diarrhea and vomiting white foam?
Diarrhea and white-foam vomit may be from bacterial gastroenteritis, feline panleukopenia (distemper), or poisoning. Since symptoms persist for days, see a vet promptly. If vaccinated, panleukopenia can be ruled out. Pancreatitis or kidney failure may also cause this. Don't self-medicate; get professional diagnosis.
From the evening of 8/4 she vomited for the first time—whole kibble came out—then we fasted her; on 8/5 she drank a little water and ate little, I gave her a cat treat strip, then early 8/6 she vomited again and soon had diarrhea. She is in a new environment, unvaccinated and undewormed—what is wrong?
Frequent vomiting and diarrhea are usually gastrointestinal issues. Causes: 1) diet change or unsuitable food plus new-environment stress; 2) infection/parasites since unvaccinated/un-dewormed (roundworms, tapeworms); 3) infectious disease (panleukopenia, coronavirus). If alert, fast 12-24h and give probiotics/anti-diarrhea; if no relief, see a vet urgently given no vaccines/deworming.
My cat ate chicken breast at noon, had diarrhea in the afternoon, then vomited at night—what’s going on? (3 months old, one vaccine shot less than a week ago)
Vomiting, diarrhea, and lethargy in cats can have many causes, often from bacterial, parasitic, or infectious gut infections, or from improper food transitions causing indigestion—such as suddenly feeding chicken breast, which the cat's gut cannot adapt to.
A Young Cat Has Had Diarrhea for Over Two Days, Now the Lower Belly Is Flat and Soft, the Hind Legs Barely Move, the Limbs Are Weak, It Keeps Sleeping and Eats Nothing
Based on your description, repeated diarrhea, refusal to eat or drink, and limb weakness over two days are signs of dehydration from disease. Repeated diarrhea and prolonged fasting cause electrolyte loss and imbalance, and without prompt care the condition can be fatal.
