What virus causes cat rhinotracheitis?
Rhinotracheitis is mainly caused by herpesvirus, which spreads naturally through the respiratory and digestive tracts. The virus is shed from the sick cat's nose, eyes, and throat and infects others by contact or droplets, very quickly. It is highly species-specific and only infects felines. Sick, recovered, or latent cats can all be sources, so isolate, disinfect, and treat promptly.

The vet tested negative for distemper and parvovirus, blood test showed high white cells and anemia, and gave three shots (anti-inflammatory, stomach, cold), then three more at night. Today it first passed bloody stool at home, the bloody part mucus-like. Normally energy is good and appetite normal.
