How do I know if my cat has
Cat Flu and is it contagious?
Cat Flu or Feline Respiratory Disease can be
caused by Feline Calicivirus (FCV) or Feline Viral
Rhinotracheitis (FVR). Cat Flu is highly contagious
with the viral particles shed in nasal or eye
discharge/droplets and saliva. It can be easily
spread through sneezing, coughing, contact
with infected droplets on feed bowls, litter trays,
furniture or even on clothing after holding an
infected cat.
Signs include sneezing, coughing, nasal
discharge, runny eyes, conjunctivitis, fever,
dribbling and/or ulcers on the tongue. Cat Flu
can make your cat very sick, particularly in young
cats, and all cats with symptoms should see their
veterinarian. Many cats contract Cat Flu and after
having it they can become carriers to further
spread the disease. The virus may be latent
(dormant) in their body and at times of stress
or illness it can then flare up.
Thankfully cats can be vaccinated to protect
them against Cat Flu. Please contact your
veterinarian to arrange vaccination.
