How Feline Chlamydial Pneumonia Develops
Feline chlamydial pneumonia is a highly contagious but uncommon cat disease, well covered by routine vaccination, so regularly vaccinated cats rarely catch it. It spreads through eye, nose and mouth secretions on shared bowls, cages or hands, and by sneezing. It starts as conjunctivitis and, left untreated, can advance to fever, pneumonia and infections of the airways or reproductive tract. Antibiotic eye ointment and oral antibiotics clear it, but recovered cats still carry and shed the organism, so isolation matters.
