What is Feline Leukemia? Symptoms and prevention methods of feline leukemia
Feline leukemia is a viral disease of cats that can cause leukemia and lymphosarcoma and is a carcinogenic infectious disease.
【Symptoms】
Kittens under four months old are more susceptible to feline leukemia. More than half of cats will produce their own antibodies to fight the disease after being infected, but there are still 30% to 50% of cats that will develop the disease after being infected. Clinically, it can be seen that sick cats have symptoms such as anemia, leukopenia, cough, vomiting, mental fatigue, loss of appetite, chronic wasting weight loss, etc. The cat's own immune system function will also be destroyed, resulting in immune insufficiency. Initial stomatitis, gingivitis, enteritis, and nephritis will gradually worsen and be accompanied by other diseases and infections. If the tumor occurs in the digestive tract, it can be detected during palpation. If the tumor occurs in the thymus, it often causes difficulty in breathing, swallowing, and pleural effusion.
【Pathogen and Transmission】
The causative agent of feline leukemia is Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). In addition to being horizontally transmitted to other cats through the saliva, milk, nasal secretions, and feces of sick cats, it can also be transmitted vertically from female cats to other cats through the uterus. Offspring; In addition, blood-sucking insects and bites from fights can also cause infection.
【Prevention and Treatment】
There is currently no effective prevention and treatment method. If a cat is determined to be positive by blood test, it must be isolated to avoid infecting other cats. Suspicious cats must also be isolated and repeatedly examined for confirmation. Disinfectants such as alcohol, boiling water, and carbolic acid can all eliminate the virus. .
