Early Symptoms of Feline Infectious Peritonitis, These Symptoms Must Be Known Early
Nowadays, we often see many people around us raising cats. Cats are also very popular. But cats, like humans, can get sick, which makes owners very anxious. For example, when cats get feline infectious peritonitis, many cat owners may not know what feline infectious peritonitis is, much less the early symptoms of feline infectious peritonitis. Next, let's analyze the early symptoms of feline infectious peritonitis together with the editor.
Feline infectious peritonitis is a contagious virus, and its infectivity is also very high. It is generally believed to be infected through the mouth and nose, with only a few cases infected through other routes. The characteristics of cats suffering from feline infectious peritonitis are not very obvious. In the early stage, cats may exhibit loss of appetite and poor mental state. Therefore, this leads to cats'
weight loss. Sometimes there may also be occasional fever and elevated body temperature. When cats get feline infectious peritonitis, it is often during their juvenile stage, when their bodies have not fully developed. So, owners need to carefully observe the symptoms of their cats.
Feline infectious peritonitis causes accumulation of abdominal fluid, and if there is a lot of fluid, it can be visibly seen. At this time, owners need to take their cats to the veterinary hospital for examination. Many owners may not understand feline infectious peritonitis and simply think their cats are sick, giving them some medicines meant for dogs. This practice is extremely wrong, and if cats are not taken for timely examination, the best treatment period for cats will be missed. Therefore, owners must pay attention to their cats' physical condition regularly.
Owners should also pay more attention to their cats' hygiene, frequently disinfect the utensils cats use, and clean where cats sleep. Cat litter boxes should be separate from feeding bowls. Also, routine veterinary check-ups for cats are necessary. This can effectively prevent diseases caused by viruses and bacteria, reducing cat illnesses. With healthier cats, owners can reduce their anxiety and worry about their cats.
