Final Symptoms of Feline Distemper Before Death: A Hear
One: The Lethal Symptoms of Feline Distemper
The most characteristic symptoms of feline distemper are those affecting the gastrointestinal system. Cats may suffer from frequent and severe vomiting and diarrhea, which can persist for about five to six days. During this time, excessive vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stools can lead to severe dehydration and anemia, ultimately resulting in death. At this stage, the cat's mental state is first compromised, with glazed eyes and a lack of focus, showing no response to calls and a complete absence of the will to live. Behaviorally, the cat loses the ability to move, refuses to eat, and collapses on the ground. Physically, the cat is in extreme discomfort, experiencing muscle pain, intestinal distress, and a general sense of weakness.
Two: Prevention of Feline Distemper
Cats often contract feline distemper due to weakened immune systems and exposure to the virus. Vaccination is one of the key ways to boost a cat's immunity. Every kitten that leaves its mother's care should complete a full course of vaccinations to ensure the development of antibodies within its body. Additionally, stress can rapidly decrease a cat's immunity, so creating a friendly and stressfree environment is crucial, especially in multicat households. It's important to ensure that each cat has its own comfortable territory and playthings.
Feline distemper is a concern that is never too far away. It often depends on the care given by the pet owner. We hope that every pet owner's furry children can grow up healthy and happy!
