Feline Enteritis
Responsible pet care requires kittens and cats to be taken to the vet for
their yearly course of vaccinations, but these cannot protect them for
the rest of their lives. The immunity weakens over time and your pet
can again become susceptible to disease.
Feline Enteritis is a viral disease that is very contagious and the death
rate is high, especially under the age of 12 months. Pregnant cats may
lose their young or give birth to kittens with abnormalities, quite often
with brain damage.
Symptoms are depressions, loss of appetite, uncontrollable vomiting
and diarrhoea, often with blood and severe abdominal pain.
The virus spreads so easily that heavily contaminated areas may need
cleaning with a special disinfectant. Cats that do recover may continue
to carry the virus for some time and infect other cats.
To check if your Cat is vaccinated against this disease or if you would
like to book them in for their yearly check up, please call 62413333 and
have a chat with our client relations team.
