Today is December 1, which is also World AIDS Day. Since the establishment of
in 1988, every year and today, under the call of WHO, countries and international organizations in the world will organize activities to promote and popularize AIDS prevention knowledge.
but you know what? Just like humans, cats can also get AIDS. In this issue of the Cat Health Encyclopedia, the darling will spread cat AIDS to the shit scavengers.
What is cat AIDS? The full name of
cat AIDS is "feline acquired immunodeficiency syndrome" (feline acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, FAIDS), due to the feline AIDS virus (FIV), and the HIV virus that causes human AIDS (AIDS), in terms of structure and nucleotide The sequence is related, and the pathogenesis and clinical symptoms of the disease are similar to AIDS, so it is called "cat AIDS".
But here comes the point.
Shoveling shit officer, please take a deep breath first.
Then, hold your shovel hand, don’t shake the shit;
put down your cat’s cage again, don’t throw the master out with passion. Z1z
hasn't finished talking about the darling, don't talk about Ai Shibian, cat AIDS (FAIDS) and human AIDS (AIDS) are over! all! Do not! phase! cross! Two parallel lines.
Key points: Cat AIDS will not be transmitted to humans and dogs. It only rages among more than 20 cats such as domestic cats, wild cats, ligers and leopards. How does
tell if a cat is infected with cat AIDS?
’s heart is falling to the ground, and the shovel officers can’t help worrying about whether their cats have cat AIDS. Don’t worry, we can judge from the following points:
1. Pay attention to whether the cat has lost appetite and weight loss;
2. Have fever, diarrhea, vomiting, sneezing, coughing and other symptoms;
3. Pay attention to whether the cat has pale or yellowing gums, unpleasant smell, oral ulcers, etc.;
4. See if the cat has poor wound healing, anemia, and poor fur condition Good conditions;
5. Whether the cat has neurological disorders such as depression, motor nerve injury, sensory nerve injury, etc.
If all the above situations occur, the shovel officer should take the cat to the hospital for examination.
Currently, blood tests are the only way to detect the presence or absence of cat AIDS antibodies in cats. Preliminary diagnosis is made mainly through epidemiological characteristics, clinical symptoms, and pathological changes, and then the diagnosis is confirmed by virus isolation and antibody testing.
How to prevent cat AIDS?
Cat AIDS is mainly transmitted through wound infection caused by the bite of a sick cat. In addition, mother-to-child transmission is also a mode of transmission.
A sick female cat may also transmit HIV to her offspring during pregnancy, childbirth, and care of the kitten. But this situation is not absolute, and has not been scientifically explained.
Therefore, kittens born to cat mothers infected with feline AIDS should undergo FIV antibody testing after 6 months to avoid "false positives" due to the influence of maternal antibodies.
Preventive measures:
1. Inspection: new cats should be tested for FIV infection when entering the house;
1. Isolation: prevent sick cats carrying FIV from infecting healthy cats;
2. Domestic: reduce the time the cat is outdoors and reduce the probability of infection;
4. : After sterilization, cats have a gentle temperament and avoid cats from fighting each other for territoriality.
If the cat has been diagnosed with cat AIDS, the shoveling officer should not discriminate and then abandon it.
Cat AIDS ≠ death penalty.
Even if cats are infected with FIV, the incubation period is usually longer. It usually takes 3 to 10 years from infection to clinical symptoms. Many cats infected with FIV may die naturally before they show clinical symptoms.
Remedy:
1. Keep your home clean and tidy to reduce the possibility of virus infection;
2. Provide high-protein foods and encourage cats to eat more. Only by maintaining sufficient physical strength can cats cope with the attack of the disease;
3. Active treatment of secondary infections is the most important for cats suffering from cat AIDS. Treatment is to deal with secondary infections.
do the above, even if you have cat AIDS, cats can live to a normal life span.
