Feline FRDC is a common respiratory infection in cats, caused by viruses such as feline herpesvirus and calicivirus. This disease is highly contagious and can affect cats of all ages, especially those living with other felines.
Symptoms of Feline FRDC
The most common signs include:
● Frequent sneezing
● Runny nose and nasal congestion
● Nasal Discharge
● Watery eyes
● Fever and fatigue
● Loss of appetite
If your cat shows these symptoms, it’s important to see a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
How to Treat Feline FRDC?
Treatment focuses on keeping your cat comfortable and hydrated. In mild cases, rest and supportive care are enough. In more severe cases, a vet may prescribe antivirals, L-lysine supplementation, eye medications and antibiotics to prevent secondary infections.
How to Prevent It?
Vaccination is the best way to protect your cat from feline FRDC. Additionally, maintaining a clean environment and avoiding contact with sick animals reduces the risk of infection. However, almost all cats and kittens exposed to other cats in a kennel or shelter environment have been exposed to the disease complex.
If you notice any signs of the disease, consult a veterinarian to ensure your cat’s quick recovery!
