Exotic Shorthair Cat

　　Canine parvovirus and some acute enteritis-type diseases are collectively known as “flipping intestines,” a type of acute infectious disease dogs can get. It has a high mortality rate and contagiousness for dogs. The reason canine parvovirus is called the invisible killer of cats is because it was only discovered to infect cats a year or two ago. Even now, many not-so-reputable pet hospitals still don’t know that cats can get canine parvovirus. After my cat Nairo recovered, I went to a hospital that had once treated my cat, and the doctor there was very surprised, saying, "What? Canine parvovirus? You were cheated!" I was speechless, obviously their misdiagnosis. Therefore, this disease poses a threat to cats because some pet hospitals simply cannot detect canine parvovirus in cats. They don’t know to test cat feces for the virus. Because of this, many cats are diagnosed with enteritis or even feline panleukopenia, missing the best treatment window and ultimately leading to death.
