At We Care Multispecialty Pet Clinic, Pondicherry’s trusted pet healthcare center, we understand how distressing it can be when your beloved cat falls sick. Feline Parvovirus (FPV), also known as Feline Panleukopenia, is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease that requires immediate attention. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the symptoms, treatments, and prevention of FPV to keep your furry friends safe and healthy.
What is Feline Parvovirus (FPV)?
Feline Parvovirus is a viral infection that primarily affects cats’ gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, and immune system. It spreads through direct contact with infected cats or contaminated environments, making early detection and proper care essential.
Common Symptoms of FPV:
• Severe vomiting
• Diarrhea (often with blood)
• Lethargy
• High fever
• Loss of appetite
• Dehydration
If your cat shows any of these signs, visit We Care Multispecialty Pet Clinic in Pondicherry immediately.
