Description
The Selflab FPV test allows you to quickly check if your cat has panleukopenia, a highly contagious disease caused by feline parvovirus.
Panleukopenia is a highly contagious disease caused by feline parvovirus. Unvaccinated kittens between 6 weeks and 4 months of age are particularly susceptible to the disease. The virus is excreted mainly in feces, urine, and saliva. The sources of infection are sick individuals, as well as bowls, beds, and litter boxes contaminated with the virus. The most common symptoms are increased temperature, drowsiness, weakness, lack of appetite, vomiting, and persistent diarrhea, often with blood.
With the Selflab FPV test you can quickly check whether your cat has this disease. Additionally, given that panleukopenia is so contagious, it is important to be aware of the risks and take appropriate steps to prevent the spread of the disease. Therefore, regular veterinary examinations and vaccinations are the key to maintaining the health and longevity of our feline friends. Moreover, in places where cats stay in close contact, such as shelters or animal hotels, it is necessary to introduce preventive measures, such as regular disinfection, isolation of sick animals, and staff education. Thanks to this, the risk of spreading the disease can be significantly reduced.
Cooperation with a veterinarian and the use of modern diagnostic tools, such as the Selflab FPV test, are steps towards ensuring a safe and healthy life for our cats. If a disease is detected, immediate treatment is the key to the quick recovery of our four-legged friend. Therefore, it is important to be vigilant and respond to any disturbing symptoms. By working with an experienced veterinarian, we can provide our pets with the best care and protection against dangerous diseases.
