As a cat parent, the thing you fear most is that your cat gets sick, especially diseases that are transmitted from cat to cat. If your cat has these symptoms, it is likely to be a case of "cat-to-feline transmission," so owners beware!
The cat's abdomen is divided into dry type and wet type
① Dry type: In the early stage of the disease, cats will be listless and have a loss of appetite, but other symptoms are generally not obvious.
As the disease progresses, cats suffering from dry-type cat abdominal distension may show symptoms such as cloudy eyes, visual impairment, mild fever, and body weight loss. Some cats may also suffer from paralysis and spasm of hind limbs.
② Wet type: Wet type cats may have symptoms such as difficulty breathing, poor appetite, anemia, weight loss, etc. Male cats may also experience scrotal swelling. At the same time, a large amount of fluid will accumulate in the cat's abdominal and pleural cavities, causing the abdomen to become significantly enlarged.
How to prevent abdominal transmission from cats?
① Reduce the breeding density
Cats affected by the disease usually appear in large catteries or stray cat rescue stations. Therefore, stocking density will affect the chance of contracting feline transmission.
If you don’t want cats to suffer from feline transmission, you must reduce the breeding density and do not keep multiple cats in a small space.
② Clean and hygienic
A clean and sanitary environment can ensure that cats have a good living environment and reduce the risk of bacterial and viral infections.
If you don’t want your cat to get feline transmission, you must pay attention to hygiene and clean the cat litter box, cat toys and cat bowls to reduce the growth of bacteria.
③ Sterilize cats
Clinical findings indicate that unsterilized male cats are more likely to suffer from feline transmission. Therefore, cats can be neutered at the appropriate age.
④ Improve resistance
If you want to prevent cats from contracting feline transmission, it is best to improve the cat’s resistance. You can usually take your cat to do some exercise to improve immunity. You can also choose a cat food containing probiotics as a staple food.
