The difference between feline parvovirus and feline panleukopenia
Expert Answer
Feline parvovirus refers to feline panleukopenia (cat plague). Feline panleukopenia belongs to the parvovirus family and commonly occurs in kittens with weak immunity that have not been vaccinated; it is also called feline panleukopenia (feline infectious enteritis).
After a cat is infected with feline panleukopenia, it usually shows decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, and elevated temperature; pregnant cats infected are prone to miscarriage or stillbirth. Diagnosis can be made at a veterinary hospital via a panleukopenia test strip and a complete blood count. If the strip is positive and the blood count shows lowered white blood cells, it is essentially confirmed as feline panleukopenia, and medication should be given promptly.
