Distemper in Cats

I have a male 4 year old cat. And he is very sick he's losing weight, and not eatting, having troubles walking and tonight his eye had some discharge coming out of it. He has also has not been using his litterbox. I also have 2 other cats. I am unsure what to do since I cannot afford a vet. Can you please help me I am very worried about him. 😢😢😢

I just adopted a cat from the shelter, the paperwork said he was UTD on his shots. He sneezed a lot for the first 3 days. I have 3 other cats, 2 have been vaccinated for rabies and distemper. The other has not, he's 9 years old and has quit eating for 2 days now. Is it possible he may have contacted something from the shelter cat? I'm on ss don't have the money to help him. What can I do.

i had a kitten estimated to be 7 weeks i got her last tuesday and she was fine until yesterday when she could walk without falling over and stumbling she would not eat or drink and she died abou 9:15 pm last night i am getting a new kitten today should i wash everything and clean the area she was in so that the new 5 week old kitten can survive because i dont have money for a vet to get her the shots she needs. (she is going to be an outside cat)

If an adult cat has came in contact with an infected kitten with distemper, will getting vaccinations make things worse? My neighbor took in some kittens. I didn't know it. She had been playing with them then came over and was playing with my adult cat. I saw the kittens and think they may have distemper but the neighbor is not budging. The things are anorexic, meowing constantly, have diarrhea poops, and are vomiting. I also notice they don't seem interested in the food she puts out for them.

My adult cat is estimated to be 3. She was a stray and I had her fixed and had a rabies vaccine administered but we haven't gotten any other shots yet. It's been in the works. If I take my new 3 year old baby to get her shots, will the possible exposure from the neighbor and her grungy hands do harm? I guess -- if she's been exposed, will a vaccination cause it to go full blown or worse?

My kittens (4 of them) all have distemper. 1 passed, 2 have recovered and 1 is at hospital. My vet has given her poor prognosis just because of the nature of this virus I believe. But I refuse to believe she won’t recover. My ongoing experience is awful 😭 Please any words would help and/or financial help. Thank you.

Im currently fostering 6 kittens due to the local shelter having a distemper outbreak. I had a kitten with green gunk running from its eye. Note I have 2 kittens that are sneezing pretty regularly along with the o RV original cat. Im worried about the possibility that it spread to the cats as well!!! My concern is for my puppy ther I got shot a week ago their I haven't gotten his vaccs. I need advice

I took in 1 year old female cat (Lexi) from a friend who could no longer care for it. Turns out it was pregnant and had 5 kittens. When the Kittens were 5 weeks old and starting to eat solid food Lexi became sick, my Vet diagnosed her with distemper and we began treatment. Daily antibiotic injection, daily IV fluids and anti nausea med.

The kittens began to die one by one. My attempts to bottle feed and water them failed ultimately and 4 of the kittens died. Lexi recovered and is thriving. One Male kitten (Rocko) was not affected or infected and is also thriving now (5 months old). They have both had all vaccinations.

I'm going to be moving soon and to spare them the anxiety of that experience would like to leave them in the care of a friend that they know well until after the move. She has 2 cats that are not vaccinated (she believes that it's not necessary with indoor cats).

My question, is it possible that my cats who have had the distemper virus or survived exposure to it are carriers of the virus? Could they infect her cats as they will be living close together? They have shown no signs of illness for 4 months or more.

I have a total of 22 cats. All 20 cats died because of Feline Panleuk 😭 I am recently suffering a depression until now 💔 I have only 2 kittens survive 😭 I losts all my money and financial supports because I am out of focused with our business. I spend thousands in and out the hospital just want my kittens survive 😢 but still I losts them 💔💔💔 I really hate that kind of virus 😭. It is more than a heartbreaking experienced I wish it was all in a dream but unlucky me its not 😔

I had an 8mo old female Manx cat. Took her to get spayed, & all vaccines, (leukemia, rabies, distemper). Dropped her off 8am, picked her up 2:30pm, left home to run errands at 3:45. Got home around 5:30, checked on her, and her crate was full of blood, and she was almost dead! Ran her to vet, & she passed within 2 hours there. Can anybody help? 😭

My dearest fur baby age 14 passed away March 24. Now I am worried it was from distemper due to contact with raccoons. She had a favorite spot to sit in our garage on a table with a towel and enjoyed having her dry food breakfast there. A few weeks before she died, I went to let her out and noticed a raccoon on the table eating a few morsels of food. I shooed it away but instead of removing the towel and washing it, I placed more food down for her to eat. Now I feel terrible as I have gone over and over in my mind what happened to her. She was a diabetic cat that I have been treating successfully with insulin since last summer. But within a few weeks of the raccoon episode, her appetite decreased and a day and a half before she passed (which of course happened to be over the weekend when the vet was closed ) she had some bloody diarrhea and no energy. Everything happened quite quickly at the end but she had the head tilt, the blood and many of the symptoms described of distemper. My heart is breaking to think this may have caused her death. I Should have realized not to put food down after raccoon had been on that towel. I did not realize raccoons carry distemper and of course there would’ve been discharge from the raccoons mouth ~saliva on the towel. The end was terrible. I did rush her to a pet emergency center but she died two hours later and I wasn’t there. I thought they could help her. her glucose levels were very high because I had not been able to give her insulin for nearly three doses due to not eating. But she hemorrhaged from the anus and couldn’t breathe and died. It was absolutely horrible. I got there a few minutes after she passed. They had set up an IV for her with nutrition and insulin to try to stabilize her glucose levels but it didn’t work. And the cost was terrible of course too. my heart broke. please if you have cats and see a raccoon, get rid of the raccoon. keep your cats away from any area where the raccoon may have been.
She had been on flagyl before for pancreatitis and B12 to help with nutrient absorption. Please keep raccoons away from your precious pets. I will never forget my KJ or get over losing her. I’m waiting to see her at The Rainbow Bridge. She was my baby. Thank you for reading this.

I have Panleukapenia (going through my cats. Ive lost 7 all under a year old (feline distemper) and one of the cats had newborns who were all going to die a week ago. Ive treated all the kittens and surviving adult cats with sterile saline subcutaneously several times a day to stop dehydration, antibiotics for secondary infection, Colloidal Silver (natural antibiotic) x 5mldaily, and keeping them warm and syringe feeding, Ensal to stop vomiting and diarrhea and 5 days on they have survived. Nutrigel or honey wiped inside their mouth for energy several times a day for energy.

My cat has been throwing up and have not been eating lately....He’s losing weight and barely walking .... I love him he’s all I have since my sister passed away....Can anybody tell me a home remedy I can do because I can’t afford to take him to a vet....

My cat is a year half old very fluffy and fat and just last 24 hours I get home from work he won’t move , eat, drink and is dry heaving and he’s usually the greedy one ! Won’t atand up is laying under the bed instead of on top! I’m freaking out! She almost looked like a Persian but now I’m just 16 hours is not getting up and looks like she lost ten lbs !! HELP

Had a neighbor bring me three kittens to care for. They're all five weeks old and eating wet food and drinking water. The biggest one, Perch, is very playful and loud with an appetit. Today he started vomiting and not wanting to eat or drink and has a weak meow. He was completely fine yesterday so I'm very worried. I set him down in front of their water after adding some pedialyte and he drank a bit but still won't eat.

I have a queen cat, Pippin, and she had 4 hours of convulsion.

She was always been a quiet feline among the kindle, but this afternoon, it's odd to see her hiding in their carton box when it's not yet sleep time. On the evening, things start t get a little panicking...

Since I can't afford a vet, I had her home remedy-ed. She also had diarrhea after the 3 hours of convulsion plus she had difficulty on balancing and walking through the small part of her place in our house. Her feet tangles with another and her paws can't keep to stay at the surface.

I don't have an idea what to do, or what to expect tomorrow.

But still, I am hoping for the best for her, I really do hope she can walk tomorrow morning.

I recently found a cat drinking from a puddle on the road.. I went to move him and he couldn't stand on his own... since then I brought him home he won't eat and is showing all the signs but I don't know what to do because there is no way I can afford a vet and I have two other cats and I cannot just watch him die 😭

A few days ago I noticed my 9 month old cat was drooling pretty bad and sneezing. I Took him to the vet and he said it was a viral cold and gave him a shot. His left canine was pretty red at the gums as well. Now today he is still sneezing like crazy and still drooling. I’m hoping he doesn’t have distemper or anything like that. When he was 12 weeks old he did have FRV.

My kitten Grace was diagnosed with distemper at about 8 weeks old. We lost one of her siblings. It was an extremely rough road but she survived.

Now months later she continues to have diarrhea and really watery stools. Will this always be the case or is there something I can do for her?

I have a two year old female cat and she is having many of these symptoms like the constant sneezing and not wanting to eat and being depressed and more and we have noticed it for about a week, we have called around to local vets and we cannot afford anything, but we don’t want to lose our cat, any suggestions would help thank you so much.

Update: a second kitten is showing signs
Vets, question. Kitten has been to vet but I'm not clear on the diagnosises presented. *I'm not clear on the diagnosis or what to expect after the steroid wears off.*
Monday: 5 wk old polydactyly kitten started limping, and refused to eat. After a couple of hours, the other front limb was affected. She was unable to stand but could potty on her own. I force fed her until today - all the vets offices had no vets! (rural).
We'd: The vet said it was either a neurologic virus of some sort or necrotizing illness, no way to tell. Gave her a shot of steroids, said keep her quiet and fed. She wasn't dehydrated. She said if was a normal virus, it would play out like viruses do and she should have no long term problems. Kittens, being resilient, she probably would have no major deficits or would have manageable ones.
She got the shot at 11am and a few hours later she's walking, playing, eating - just a little wobbly and easily falls over. She is able to right herself, which she was unable to do before. (Video, Tues a.m.)
Web search was confusing and brought up all sorts of unrelated stuff when I searched 'neurologic virus in kittens'. Everything was FIP related.
What could it be? She had no fever, just front limb weakness, which is improved but still present. She is eating on her own, thank you steroid hunger! She's happy, and clear eyed, as noted in her photo. The short video was yesterday morning.
Thanks for any help and possible expectations! This is a litter of 4 kittens eye have been fostering since they were two weeks old they are now almost 6 weeks.

I live in a Baja beach town. There are feral cats everywhere. I feed one family who have made a home on my porch, a (Siamese) mother and her 3 kittens. The runt was sickly and allowed me to nurse it with eye drops and better food before I researched and found that he has distemper. Oddly none of the others show symptoms. Contrary to the common symptoms, he eats and enjoys playing with me and his siblings (They are still untouchable). My question is, Would it be better to put this sweet-natured little devil down for the common good, or let nature take its course? He's probably about 8 months old.

I just recently took in a kitten and already had a year old cat. My year old cat has helped me thru so much and can’t lose her the younger one my son has gotten so attached to but I think she has distemper I have her quarantined and vaccinated her myself but that is all I can afford. Please help any advice is greatly appreciated. I type this in tears because bunny my year old cat loved me thru a time when I felt loved by no one and actually contemplated suicide do to domestic violence. Please please any advice is helpful. Again I cannot afford a vet I am I single parent of 2 kids and 2 cats.

I have a cat that services distemper.she is a little bit wobbly now.but now she is showing signs of being sick again.she was vaccinated before the first time of getting it.how is this possible? I already spend $2000 to save her.i have no idea how I will afford more vet care if she gets sick again.

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!?

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 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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.....?

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 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 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.

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?

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?

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 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?

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?

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 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 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.

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.

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?

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

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...

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Hey
Am really really in worry because I have a 5 month old kitten that has distemper. The vet have her some injections but she seems not to sleep not close her eyes.i keep checking on her but I keep finding her 'lost in thoughts' which am not sure if it's lost in pain or thoughts.i feel very helpless as she keeps getting worse.what do I do? Should I let her Die? Does she has a chance at surviving?and she keeps tossing n turning

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.

My cat is 2 years old and recently disappeared for about a week and now that she is back she is being aggressive to our other pets and people and running when we try to touch her. She is usually very loving im not sure why she would me acting like this.

My cat has lost an excessive amount of weight, he won’t eat or drink, he sets himself, he has bad breath and his got a discharge from his eyes. He’s also 16 years old in human years

I dont really know if my cat has parvo. He lats around all the time, he wont play as much as he use to, he likes to sat by his water hours on end and wobt drunk as much.

Junior was healthy Sunday.mondaystarted walking like she was drunk.vet examination and blood work didn’t show anything obvious. Monday night she seemed in severe distress. I called vet wanted to bring her back for uthanation,it was that bad. Vet said give her time blood work was good.shepassed some urine and became more stable..Tuesday no worse no better.wednesday had bowel movement and seemed much better she ate and was walking around almost like normal but still wobbly. Thursday went downhill in a hurry in less than 24 hrs she couldn’t stand up almost total paralysis. She was uthanized . Vet said it was a blood clot. I’m confused,when did blood clot happen? Was urine and bowel issues related? A coincidence? Why did she almost get better? My vet was not helpful answering these questions. Sooo hard to find a good vet.

I have a 4 year old house cat and she drools when I'm petting her and she constantly purrs while being next to me. I'm really worried it might be distemper because shes smaller than she was before and sometimes her body quivers. Her diet and bowel habits have been the same.

Two of my fur baby's kittens passed away last week they had feline distemper. But also I used to use meth. Now my other cats are showing symptoms throwing up very thirsty dilated pupils and tripping out licking alot aggravated throwing up lack of energy or very hyper

I got two kittens about a month and a half ago now. The shelter we got them from had quite a few kittens there. I already have two older cats. When I brough the kittens home one of the kittens and one of my older cats started vomiting and had diarrhea. I brought them both to the vet and they said my older cat had a stomach bug and my younger cat had worms. They gave me medicine which stopped the vomiting but their stool is still soft and now the kitten that was sick is sneezing has a runny nose and watery eyes. My older cat was vaccinated when he was a kitten but is indoor and hasn’t been vaccinated since and he’s about 3. My kitten had only received one distemper vaccine and is due to get his second vaccine in a few days. Is there a chance both of my cats have it? They are both still eating drinking and full of energy.

My cat has had a snotty nose that just recently started having blood in it. He sometimes has watery eyes and he seemed through his nose like he is stuffed up. He's gaining weight and very active. Our local vet refuses to see him. Could he have allergies or distemper or something else

I got a kitten that was about 3 months on July 1st. The cat has been fine until the last 4 days or so. She started with eye watering and sneezing. Today I heard a funny noise, it was her trying to breathe through a stuffy nose, only symptoms so far. Shes active, eating, and loving. The other cats she was with before I got her all died from distemper within a week or two of getting placed in a shelter. At that time she was fine. Is there a possibility she had a late onset or delayed reaction?

We just moved to Florida from Massachusetts a week ago. The last 2 days she has been having diarrhea and been walking in in circles when trying to scurry away. She can walk normally most of the time but we she is trying to get away she just start randomly walking in circles like she is cornered but will be in a wide open space. She has been hiding a lot but I was thinking this was because of the new space and new pets in the home. Only other thing I have noticed is weird mark on her nose mix of wound on mole looking.

Cat has been diagnosed with leukopenia since two days ago. She’s seven years and was neutered about two weeks ago. She was an adopted stray but not vaccinated. She’s been on IV fluids and antibiotics and wbc boosters the last two days with her wbc ranging in 100s. She hasn’t had any food in four days just saline. What can we do to help her strengthen herself. What recovery signs can we expect.

I took in a litter of feral cats who all had distemper and passed a week ago. I have cleaned with bleach and trifectant in the rooms they stayed as well as carriers and litter boxes and trashed toys. Is it safe to bring home new kittens on the 20th who have had their second round of distemper vaccination on the 7th. They are due for the third round on the 28th. I can keep them out of the rooms where the infected cats were for any time needed but wondering if necessary and if so for how long.

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?

My sister adopted a year old cat from a cat shelter a week ago today. He seems to eat (canned food) ok, but isn't really drinking very much. He has diarrhea for a week now. We originally thought it was just the stress of a new environment, but it isn't letting up. He looks as if he has lost weight also.

I adopted a kitten from a farm over two weeks ago who has tremors without anyother symptoms. She is the runt of the litter but eats well and has gained weight. I also have 2 of her siblings that are not displaying any symptoms. Is it safe to say she most likely has a neurological disorder and not parvo?

A few days ago we ran out of kitten food so I gave the kittens some adult cat food instead. Yesterday I saw Mouse throw up some yellow fluid. At first I didn't think it was serious, that she might be having a bad reaction to the food. Now, this morning she wouldn't get up to eat. She wouldn't even eat the canned food my sister gave her. She did walk around a bit unsteady at first but then at a regular pace even jumped onto the table in the greenhouse. She is more or less separated from the other kittens. They are outdoor kittens. I considered taking her to the vet but they are closed now until Monday, plus neither me or my sister can afford the vet right now. I do not know for sure if she has distemper or not. We had a stray cat show up a week ago skin and bones but then died Monday morning near where the kittens usually eat. Mostly I thought it was worms but now with Mouse sick I am thinking otherwise. What should I do?

I adopted 2 kittens both 8 weeks old from a friend. They don't have vaccines yet and both have distemper as per the vet who checked them. They gave me vitamins and supplement for the kitties as they can't get the vaccine now because of fever. After 5 days girl kitty died... But the male kitty is not showing any symptoms of distemper except loose bowel. He is playfully eating and drinking water. Pls. Answer me is he going to die also? 😭😭😭

I adopted 2 Persian kittens 8 weeks old. They are brothers after 2 days we visited a vet as both are having diarrhea. They were not vaccinated yet. And both are positive with parvo. They are both given supplements and vitamins for support. After 2 days from vet visit Pikachu died. He is not eating and drinking as the other one is always playing and no sign of distemper except same wet stool. Dash is still alive eating and drinking and playing but my worries is that he still got a diarrhea. I'm afraid he might also die... What should I do?

😭😭😭

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.
