Cat’s infectious peritonitis, referred to as cat’s abdomen, is an infectious disease that seriously threatens the life of cats. Some people will say that this disease has a very high fatality rate. Is this true for
? Today, Youxun will talk about those things about cats.
1. What is the nature of cat transmission? The
cat belly virus is actually mutated from cat coronavirus.
The simple coronavirus is not fatal to cats and can generally heal without treatment.
However, once the mutation occurs due to external conditions, it will become a high fatality rate. The external stimulus here may be caused by stress, or it may be caused by immune insufficiency.
2. What are the criteria for diagnosing cat transmission? The gold standard of
in diagnosing cat abdomen is: histopathology + immunohistochemistry (as long as the coronavirus antigen is found in macrophages), it can be determined that it is cat abdomen.
However, because such an examination requires an open abdominal exploration, the result is examination = autopsy. Therefore, there are basically no sick cats that can receive such an examination, so this gold standard does not apply to actual clinical diagnosis.
In addition, there is no other means to directly diagnose cat abdominal transmission. For example, PCR detection of coronavirus, white ball ratio, Li Fanta test, etc., are all methods to support cat abdominal transmission, and cannot be made based on one of them alone. diagnosis.
Therefore, there must be a certain misdiagnosis for the diagnosis of cat transmission. Many diseases of
may not be transmitted from cats to the abdomen, but there is a phenomenon similar to that of cats. At this time, the use of GS441 can also achieve good therapeutic effects, which has resulted in a very high cure rate of abdominal transmission in many hospitals.
Of course, instead of doing a full examination and in exchange for an uncertain transmission result, it is better to start medication when the transmission is suspected, which can also save money.
3. How to treat cats with extremely high fatality rate?
If the cat is not treated, it is a terminal illness with a mortality rate close to 100%. In the past two years,
has successively introduced GC376 and GS441 two drugs for the treatment of abdominal transmission, which has made a breakthrough in the treatment of this terminal illness.
But the way to buy drugs and their prices are very troublesome-there are many fake drugs, and the prices are often not low.
4. How much does it cost to treat cats?
The cost of treatment of cat abdominal transmission is usually higher. For a cat of about ten catties, the cost of treatment for a month is about 10,000 yuan, which is mainly the cost of GS441.
Generally, the smaller the cat's weight, the lower the cost.
5. What is the therapeutic effect of cat abdominal transmission?
A cat hospital we know about has an annual reception rate of more than 80 cases, a cure rate of more than 80%, and the recurrence rate after cure is not high.
eliminates the possibility of misdiagnosis in the diagnosis. We can think that GS441 is effective in the treatment of abdominal transmission. Whether it is completely cured or not, it can help cats to extend their lifespan by at least two years.
This is undoubtedly better than many parents directly choosing euthanasia before. This result also avoids innocent cat groups who choose to euthanize because of misdiagnosis.
To sum up, although cat transmission is terrible, it is not as scary as online transmission. There is great hope to alleviate the condition. The current cat passing the abdomen is no longer intended to relieve the cat's pain, and it is no longer considered terminally euthanasia.
We are [Youxiu], a group of veterinarians who have already debuted. Let's be good sniffs of TAs together, eh, good parents~
