Feline parvovirus, also called feline parvo, is a virus that can cause severe disease and illness in cats, particularly kittens.
Sadly, the disease has a high mortality rate and on occasion, outbreaks are still seen in households with unvaccinated cats, and in multicat situations, such as breeders or catteries. If a pregnant cat contracts feline parvovirus, her kittens may be born with brain damage.
Signs
vomiting
watery diarrhoea with or without blood
high temperature early on
lack of appetite
lethargy and depression
stomach pain
Treatment
a fluid drip to replace the fluids your cat has lost
antibiotics to treat any secondary infections (antibiotics won’t treat the parvovirus itself as it is a virus, so may not be appropriate in all cases)
intensive care and nursing if your cat is very unwell
