Cats
Feline Enteritis (panleucopaenia): This disease is most common and most severe in young kittens. Infected animals may die within 24 hours of the appearance of symptoms.
Cat “flu” (feline Rhinotracheitis and Calicivirus): Cat “flu” is highly infectious and unless prompt treatment is given, it can prove fatal. Even if treated in time, some cats are permanently affected with chronic snuffles or are persistent carriers.
Feline Leukaemia (FeLV): FeLV is the number one killer of cats in the western world and there is no cure. It can affect older cats, but often affects the young. It may be carried for a number of years before any symptoms are seen, but it is possible to reveal infection of FeLV through a simple blood test carried out by your veterinary surgeon.
