Whether a cat can survive after being infected with feline distemper is related to the cat's condition, treatment method, etc. If the cat's clinical symptoms lessen and begin to improve, continued treatment can save the cat. If the cat still continues to have symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and bloody stools, the chance of cure is very low. Cats infected with feline distemper will develop symptoms such as depression, decreased appetite, and lethargy. Once the owner discovers that the cat is abnormal, he should immediately go to a nearby hospital for treatment. The earlier the treatment, the higher the chance of cure.

How to treat cat 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.
