How to determine whether it is cat plague or bad stomach? Cat plague is a common infectious disease in cats. It is caused by cat plague virus and is mainly manifested as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite and other symptoms. Bad gastrointestinal intestines is also a common disease in cats. Its symptoms are very similar to cat plague, so many people will confuse them. So, how can we accurately determine whether it is cat plague or bad stomach?
1. Judging from the medical history, cat plague is an infectious disease, and its transmission route is mostly airborne. Therefore, if a cat has been in contact with other family cats and has the above symptoms, it is very likely that it is cat plague. A poor stomach is different from cat plague. It is often caused by certain specific reasons, such as side effects of drugs, improper diet, infectious diseases, visceral diseases, etc. Therefore, from the cat's medical history, it can be judged whether it is cat plague or bad stomach.
2. Judging from the signs of
cat plague, typical signs include fever, diarrhea, pus and blood in the feces, vomiting and loss of appetite. Poor stomach and intestines may also cause symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, vomiting and loss of appetite, but there will be no pus and blood, and the fever will not be so obvious. In addition, diarrhea from cat plague will continue, while diarrhea with poor stomach may only occur once. Therefore, from the perspective of physical signs, it can also be judged whether it is cat plague or bad stomach.
3. Judging from the examination results
If the cat's symptoms are still difficult to distinguish, the diagnosis can be made through blood tests, B-ultrasound, X-rays and other examination methods. Blood tests for cat plague will show high white blood cell count and elevated alanine aminotransferase, and this will not happen if the stomach is not good. Therefore, judging from the examination results, it can also be judged whether it is cat plague or bad stomach.
4. Judging from the treatment method, the treatment method of cat plague is mainly antiviral drug treatment to inhibit the replication of the virus, improve the condition, and assisted treatment through supportive treatment. The treatment methods for poor gastrointestinal intestinal diseases are more flexible. Targeted treatments can be taken according to the cause, such as using intestinal sedatives to improve symptoms, or using antibiotics to treat infectious diseases. Therefore, from the perspective of treatment methods, it can also be judged whether it is cat plague or stomach-intestine.
5. Judging from the results, cat plague will usually improve within a few days. If treatment is not carried out in time, serious complications may occur and even endanger the cat's life. Symptoms of poor gastrointestinal intestinal intestinal intestinal ailments usually disappear within a few hours. If not treated in time, there will be no serious complications, but they will still affect the cat's nutritional absorption and its growth and development. Therefore, from the perspective of the development of the disease, it can also be judged whether it is cat plague or bad stomach.
In short, to correctly judge whether it is cat plague or stomach bad, in addition to judging from the medical history, signs, examination results and treatment methods, you can also judge from the development of the disease. Finally, it is recommended that the cat owner take the cat to the veterinary clinic for examination in time to ensure that the cat is treated correctly in time.
