Pansystemic Diseases
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Feline Panleukopenia | feline parvovirus, primarily in young/unvaccinated/feral cats. Virus multiplies in and destroys mitotic cells of bone marrow and lymphoid tissue, causing destruction of all white blood cells. Prevented by vaccination. |
Feline Panleukopenia (CS) | CS: fever, vomiting, depression, fetid diarrhea, dehydration, anorexia. |
Feline Panleukopenia (Dx) | Dx: CBC to show moderate to severe panleukopenia, SNAP test (canine parvo), and serum antibody titers. |
Feline Panleukopenia (Tx) | Tx: aggressive supportive care, force feed, antibiotics. |
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (Coronavirus) | clinical syndrome associated with coronavirus infection, highly contagious in feces/saliva/urine, has a wet and dry form, clinical signs are related to granuloma formationin target organs. |
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (CS of Wet form) | CS: 75% of cases, ascites and pleural effusion, anorexia, wt loss. |
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (CS of Dry form) | CS: pyogranulomatous lesions everywhere, fever of unknown origin, ocular lesions, neurological signs, anorexia, wt loss. |
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (Dx) | Dx: very difficult, clinical signs, rule out other diseases, cytology and fluid analysis. |
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (Tx) | Tx: aspirate fluids to alleviate pressure, steroids to reduce inflammation. Prognosis poor to grave. |
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (Prevention) | Prevention: Isolate pregnant queens 2 weeks before giving birth, remove kittens from queens by 5 weeks, intranasal vaccine- minimally effective if at all, not recommended. |
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (Info) | Info: virus inactivated by disinfectants, difficult and often expensive to diagnose, FIP will eventually cause the cat's death. |
Feline Leukemia Virus | retrovirus that causes neoplastic and immunosuppressive disease, requires close contact to infect. |
FeLV (CS) | CS: fever, anemia, lymphoid tumors, anorexia, wt loss, secondary infections, vomiting, diarrhea, neurologic signs. |
FeLV (Dx) | Dx: ELISA (Snap) Test, CBC shows nonregenerative anemia, IFA is definitive |
FeLV (Tx) | Tx: no cure, positive cats should be kept indoors and limited stress, supportive therapy. |
FeLV (Info) | Info: FeLV positive cats- isolated, kept indoors, reduce stress, healthy positive cats do not need to be euthanized, immunosuppressed humans, pregnant women and neonates should not be exposed to FeLV positive cats. |
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) | lentivirus that causes immune deficiency, lymphopenia, and subsequent opportunistic infections. Morphologically and biochemically similar to HIV but does not infect humans. Endemic in US. Little to no sexual transmission in cats. |
FIV (CS) | CS: poor coat condition, persistent fever, anorexia, gingivitis and stomatitis, chronic or recurrent infections, persistent diarrhea, variety of eye conditions, slow but progressive wt loss. |
FIV (Dx) | Dx: |
FIV (Tx) | Tx: |
