Key Symptoms of Feline Rhinotracheitis:

Cats suffering from this condition may exhibit symptoms such as fever, a lack of energy, decreased appetite, and discharge from the eyes and nose that is either mucoid or mucopurulent. They may also have conjunctivitis, sneezing, and in some cases, drooling and coughing.

This illness primarily causes acute upper respiratory diseases and eye conditions, and it's particularly noticeable in young kittens. It can lead to erosions and ulcers on the oral mucosa, as well as rhinitis and conjunctivitis.

Diagnosis of Feline Rhinotracheitis:

Given that various pathogens can trigger upper respiratory symptoms in cats, accurate diagnosis of rhinotracheitis requires more advanced diagnostic methods, such as:

PCR Testing

Viruses Isolation Experiments

Immunofluorescence Antibody Staining

Prevention and Treatment of Feline Rhinotracheitis:

The most effective way to prevent feline rhinotracheitis is through vaccination with the feline trivalent vaccine. Unvaccinated kittens should be vaccinated at 8 weeks of age, with a total of three doses in the first year, followed by an annual booster.

In terms of treatment, there is no specific cure, and the primary approach is supportive care.
