Can cat nasal congestion be transmitted to other cats?
Chinese nasal congestion can be transmitted to other cats. Feline nasal congestion is a contact infectious disease with a very wide scope of infection. It is usually transmitted through the respiratory tract and digestive tract, but it can also spread quickly through droplets. After a cat is infected with this disease, the virus can multiply in the epithelial cells of the sick cat's nasal cavity, throat, organs, conjunctiva, and tongue, and be excreted out of the body along with its secretions. Therefore, healthy cats may be infected with this disease when they come into direct contact with secretions or contaminated utensils, such as feed, water, utensils and the surrounding environment. In addition, cured cats can also carry viruses and shed viruses for a long time, becoming a dangerous source of infection. Therefore, once a cat becomes sick at home, it must be isolated in time.
