A blood test for feline plague mainly looks at the number of white blood cells and the severity of the infection. First of all, routine blood tests can tell the number of white blood cells. The number of white blood cells reflects the severity of feline plague. Generally, the lower the number, the more serious the infection. Secondly, SAA examination can clarify the degree of infection. Generally, the higher the value, the more serious the secondary infection is, and the cat is more likely to suffer from serious diseases such as sepsis. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.

How to treat cats with feline plague:

1. Anti-vomiting: Food and water should be avoided when vomiting occurs. Use metoclopramide injection, 0.15~0.25 ml per kilogram of body weight, twice a day, intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

2. Anti-inflammation: Use gentamicin, 10,000 units per kilogram of body weight. Or use kanamycin, 50,000 to 100,000 units per kilogram of body weight, twice a day, intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

3. Antipyretic: Use Bupleurum injection, 0.3 ml per kilogram of body weight, twice a day.

4. Hemostasis: Use vitamin K3 injection, 0.3 ml per kilogram of body weight, twice a day, intramuscularly.

5. Rehydration: When dehydration or vomiting occurs, mix 5 to 10 ml of 25% glucose, 5 ml of 5% sodium bicarbonate, and 30 to 50 ml of compound normal saline for intravenous injection.

6. Diet therapy: It is recommended to feed a small amount of easily digestible, low-fiber, low-fat food, 3 to 6 times a day. Prescription foods for acute gastroenteritis disease are also available. Gradually increase the amount of food over several days to meet the animal's needs.
