My 6-month-old adopted stray cat was spayed, unvaccinated, and tested weak-positive for panleukopenia six days later with vomiting, diarrhea, no eating or drinking, and low spirits — can it be cured?
Panleukopenia has a high mortality rate, but with active treatment there is a fair chance of recovery. Take the cat to a proper veterinary hospital promptly and follow the vet's care instructions. As it is still in the early stage, timely treatment is critical. If symptoms ease after treatment, the cat is likely improving and has a good chance of full recovery.
