Distemper in Cats

Just found a kitten looks very young still on formula. Eyes are shut and wet... Possible distemper? That's the only symptom. She eats just fine by syringe and just pooped although dark and diarrhea like, but I found her 12 hrs ago in the heat by herself in a city type area. Also worried about transmission to other cats that sniffed at her when I brought her home...

We have 5 kittnes who are keep laying down beccause there back legs don't seem to be holding them up. Only 2 of them will eat. There Mama just died about a day before i started seeing this in them. She would just lay there and meow she could not stand. the kittens are about 5 weeks old. We ave other bigger cats that i don't want to get the same thing. What can i do to prevent them from it? we got the bigger cats a vaccine is that all we can do? Is there anything i can do for the kittens?

My cat has been diagnosed with feline parvo. She is in the hospital. She is still not eating and they put her on an IV, antibiotics and tried to replace the white blood cells as that was very low. I know it attacks the intestines. She hasn't had diarrhea. What if they cannot get her to eat? Does the virus have stages of what symptoms come first? Is there a way to tell what stage of the virus she is in?

I have another cat who is not up to date with its vaccinations. When is it contagious? I was told when she is shedding which is when she starts showing clinical symptoms and another vet told me its in the incubation period.

my cat is vomiting again and again. colour of the vomit is yellow in colour. she is not eating at all and keep on drinking water. and she is keep on distancing away from us.... is there any chance of her suffering from distemper.....?

My Russian Blue age 2 started deficating away from is litter box and throwing up undigested food a few weeks ago. Now he is coughing, sneezing and salivating alot. He coughs up a white foam occasionally. We took him to the vet to see if he was choking but he's not. We can't afford further treatment. We were given antibiotics which he ends up coughing up. He is still eating but hardly. He is let out occasionally and gets into fights with unkown animals, most likely other cats. We've been planning on having him nuetered soon. Any advice?

I have 2 barn cats out of 4 that have come up sick, the cats are put up at night, only allowed to roam during the day, live in a very secluded area-working Farm. The one only symptom(s) cannot walk-very unstable, a little dehydrated simply can't get to food or water bowl, being hand fed and water brought to, 7 days and counting. The other very dehydrated, weak still eating some and drinking, Vet check yesterday blood work shows systems shutting down possible virus. Antibiotic prescribed giving fluids, 2 days and counting.

What is the best way to treat distemper at home? Also if we give it at home treatment how long until the virus is gone? It is a very small kitten that we plan on naming snowball if we know it will survive.

My barn cat Oreo was sneezing and coughing this morning (it's winter, so it's very cold where we live. It can range from -20 at night to 30 during the day). I went to the barn tonight to feed them, and my other cat Skippy is sneezing, coughing, wheezing, and could barely get down from the loft of the barn. Skippy's right eye is swollen shut and there is a liquid draining from her eye. I couldn't tell in the poor lighting whether it was just water-y substance, or blood.

My cat stopped eating after she got into the trash can , her lips are blistering and bleeding , when we write her mouth she starts bleeding a lot . Lately her mouth has been smelling like it’s rotting , she won’t even drink water . We had two other cats that were the exact same way but sadly they died already . We’re trying to say this one .

My 1 yr old male cat has been acting very strange for about a week now he walks real slow very fatigued, eyes watering and barley open, he's dehydrated I have been making him take water and on his right side I feel a big hard lump. Please my vet can't get me in for another week help me

I had a cat today that had distemper and we had to put her down but all of her stuff is in the house. I got a new cat brought home by my boyfriend today Also. So what do I need to do in my house as far as to not spread this to my new cat?

We have 2 rescued kittens, healthy at first. All of a sudden one gets lethargic and dies over a 3 hour time period. Now the other one is doing the same. No vomit, mild diharea, very dizzy, lethargic.

Weight loss want eat stomach swallowing sneezing eyes are draining and the reds of her eyes are swollen over the cornea. No bowel movements in a few days want drink barely walks hasn't peed. Very weak. What is wrong with my baby. Please help me.

I have been feeding a semi-wild cat for about 1 year. In the past 6 months she will rub on my legs while I feed her but never let me pet her. She always comes when I call her no matter where she is. Yesterday she never came at all. Today she was here lying where I feed her. She is very lethargic and will only drink water. My concern came when she let me pet her! She walked off a little way, very slowly, and has been sleeping for 3 hours. Her head pops up when I talk to her and then she goes back to sleep. I don’t want to get too close and cause her anxiety. She has no swelling that I can see. My 1dt thought was snake bit because we live in a very rural community in Texas.

My 6 month old cat who is fully up to date on her shots just today got to where she is vomiting ( only happened 2 times ) , she also has had a loss of appetite which she usually always goes crazy for wet food but now she won’t even taste it , she does have diarrhea that is like liquid. I am planning to take her to the vet but we don’t have a vet within 2 hours and they don’t open until 7 am but I’m taking her first thing. Anything I can do until then?

Should I bathe him or left him clean himself? He is on the upside of distemper. And how long to keep away from his sister after totally well to insure infection and germs is gone?

I adopted a kitten a few days ago. He woke up the next day with his eye almost closed and with discharge. I put some antibiotic drops in his eye. His eye looks better, but since then he excessively sneezes. Do you think he might have distemper? He seems fine otherwise. He plays and continues to eat and drink. Should I give the kitty a few days to see if his sneezing subsides before I take him to the vet?
Thanks,
Rebecca

Layli had a very severe bacterial situation. Dr. Diagnosed FPV, yet she did not vomit at all. Took antibiotics for 5 days. Did a test on day 5, milder bacteria result. Dr. prescribed 3 more days of antibiotics. On day 6, she is more energetic, eats lots of food and drinks water. Her belly is a little bit inflated. No more bloody dierriha, in fact, she nearly does not pooped today. Shall I stop her to eat so much (dry) food? Or better to give her wet food? Is not pooping a bad or good condition?

I tried to save a stray kitten and didnt consider distemper exposure to my other cat how long before i know my cat is CLEAR.. the kitten died within 5 hours of finding it.

Hi, our 5-yr old female cat started having clear discharge from her eye about 4 weeks ago. Our other cat (male, diabetic, 13 yrs old) had some sort of upper respiratory virus at the same time (sneezing) and the vet gave us nose drops for him. He is all better now. The doc advised saline compress for her though we didn’t take her in at that time. I applied saline compress for a few days and her eye got worse, red and inflamed. About then she also got lethargic and that has continued until now. We took her to the vet and he couldn’t find any injury to the eye, gave us an ointment to put in her eye for 7 days. It got a little better, but still irritated. We took her back to vet. He said continue eye ointment for another week. We are also doing warm saline compresses 1-2 times per day. About three weeks on, we are still doing the same things but her eye irritation hasn’t stopped and she is still lethargic. It occurred to me today that about 4 weeks ago, she also suddenly frothed at the mouth, as if she’d eaten or tasted something bad, but it only lasted a couple of minutes and never recurred. She’s never had ANY health issues before. We will take her back to vet on Mon or Tues. can you please advise what we should ask him to check for? Thank you!

Hi my kitten has been diagnosed with parvo from a positive fecal test. She is around 6-7 weeks old
Our vet wants us to put her down so she doesn't infect anyone else as she may be a carrier for life. I thought they would only carry for weeks after recovering. Also she has bouts of lots of energy and seems to go up and down. She is keeping down fluid from being syringe fed every hour. (We were given an IV bag) she is getting between 2-6ml often. She tends to throw up about an hour after we give her any mushed food through syringe though. She has started drinking from her bowl herself again, hasn't pooped in 8 hours and is on day 3 or 4 of symptoms. She wasn't able to scratch her head yesterday but today she is scratching and climbing up on to our shoulders but then just laying there. Do you think she could be getting better? It's hard to decide to euthanise her when she seems to be so energetic at times and is happy when we sit with her. What are your thoughts?

Nearly 2 months cat dierriha. Vet said has FPV after test. After first dose of antibiotics got better. Started to eat food and drink water. No dierriha afterwards. Is it FPV or other bacterial infections. No vomits at all.

It's Friday I should have paid attention to what was happening to him but I didn't and I don't want it to be late but it's Friday and I live in a little town and I can't get him into the Vet until Monday cuz they don't do that around here and I cannot lose my cat is there anything I can do to help this matter in the meantime before I can get him in don't get worse there something that I can go get him a shot at from Big R or something

I brought my cat Pearl into the vet because she stopped eating and felt warm. She was diagnosed with the flu and given a fever reducer and an antibiotic. The following day she began throwing up and still wouldn't eat. I took her back in to the vet and she was rediagnosed with feline typhoid. She is on anti nausea medicine, anti diarrhea medicine, the same antibiotic originally prescribed and a steroid. Today is technically day 7 since she began showing signs of illness. I have been feeding her yogurt through a syringe as well as water with an electrolyte solution added. She is extremely fragile but will walk to the litter box to pee but mostly lays around staring aimlessly. I'm giving her a lot of love and tomorrow will be bringing her in for an IV. Does she sound like she is making a slow recovery since she has been fighting this for 7 days so far? I need my Pearl. She just turned a year old and unfortunately I didn't have her vaccinated yet.

My cat had a very serious health issue 3 days ago, almost dying. Diagnosed with infections. Started with severe dierriha. From day 2 has a little blood in stool. Overall condition now better with good appetite started playing around but still has bloody loose stool. Is she improving? Shall I stop him eating dry food?
She drinks a little bit water too. She is on IV and antibiotics.

Hi, my daughters cat is acting like he is sick. I was wondering what he may have. His name is Milo, He is an elder 18 yr old orange Tabby.

Symptoms:

Vomiting
Excessive sneezing
Discharge from eyes
Weight loss
Difficulty walking

Symptoms come and go. Its as if he is sick, and then he isn't. Gets symptoms mostly during cold weather.

He was diagnoaes with this virus, been on iv since tuesday and took him to the vet on sunday! Theres no more vomiting, or diahrrea but neither does he pee or poop or wants to drink water/ eat! Tomorrow will be the fith day since he got diagnosed! Dows he havw any chances of survival!?

Layli had bloody dierriha over 10 days ago. She is recovered now after 8 days of antibiotics and IV fluid therapy. Her physical condition is pretty good now while eating and drinking with a good appetite. Recently I noticed a kind of internal kind of circular cyst under her throat. Is it natural? It is very small and kind of feel fluidly.

My cat all of a sudden loss weight and isn't really walking. If she does she kinda drops from exhaustion. She is drinking water and eating a little wet cat food. She doesn't seem to be in pain. She just lays on my bed all day and night. Do you know what could be wrong with her? I am planning on along her to the vet as soon as I get the money next week but I don't know if she will hold on that long.

I rescued a Kitten from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay on 6/08/18, She has been doing good. OVH was done on 6/5/18. She been with us for 8 days and she has had great stools, then bouts of diarrhea and gas in between. I was thinking it was her food getting introduced to new kind. She is still active and everytime she gets a chance to eat she will go. However this morning I noticed vomit and small amount of bloody diarrhea, a bit of an odor. She still has lots of gas, she sleeps fine plenty of water, she was playing just a awhile ago. No issues with urine. She plays with the other cat just fine. Other cat has no issues. Im just unsure if this is just something minor or major?

My cat has been sneezing a lot the mocous that comes out is clear and has some kind of rash near her mouth. I took her to the vet and she said the cat was ok she said her lungs sounded good. She told me it may be just alergies.
My cat has been eating good and weights 10.70 lbs

My kitten Montana is not the same anymore. May believe something is very wrong with her. She was at the vet recently and seemed fine. Now she will barley move and she is not active anymore. She refuses to play with her sister and she will only cuddle with me now. She does not like anybody by her and if they touch her she will start yelling

My cat had kittens barely 2weeks ago,an now all 3kittens died in past 2 days. My question is,ifmy cat has distemper will she die from it? Momma cat is barely eating and drinking,sleeping mostly and hiding.

My new kitten is 4 mo old. She had distemper and survived. She is up to date with her shots. She shakes her head back and forth repeatedly several times a day. It’s like she is flicking her head back and forth or a tic. Vet said it was residual nerve damage from the distemper. Will she ever recover or have it disappear. She is a happy playful little girl and loves to meow at us. . We hug on her a lot.

Caring for my daughters male cat, diagnosed with panleukopenia. He has seemed to be on the road to recovery. Huge appetite now and drinking plenty of water. This has been 3 weeks of recovery. He now has a twitch and is sneezing a lot. He finished clavamox and Baytril. He is strictly inside

Me and my boyfriend have recently just found a feral kitten. We think he was about 6 weeks when we found him and now he’s 8 weeks and getting his shots in a few days. We have another cat as well but we’ve kept them separated since we got the kitten. We haven’t been washing our hands though after being in contact with the kitten. The past two days I’ve noticed our original cat sneezing, wheezing and has runny eyes. I see that these are symptoms of distemper but I haven’t noticed any of those symptoms in our kitten. Both have extremely strong appetites so I take that as a good sign. But since the kitten isn’t displaying any symptoms of distemper is it possible for our original cat to just have seasonal allergies per chance? And if he does have distemper is there a cure?

I recently fostered a mother and litter of kittens who were just diagnosed with distemper and euthanized. This was devastating to our family. I have other cats in the home who have been fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. Are they going to be alright? I also have a kitten from the infected mother from a previous litter who has not been vaccinated yet. I can't lose him. I don't think I'd survive the loss. What can I do to protect him at this point.

Hi recently adopted a kitten (12 weeks old) and took her to the vet as soon as I realized she was having diarrhea, it was yellow and clear. The vet diagnosed her with Panleukopenia and prescribed her antibiotics and gave her an iv. My question is her poop has returned to a normal brown color but still diarrhea has yet to throw up and seems mildly happy given the situation, does this mean she’s on the road to recovery? What are the signs of recovery?
