Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a common viral infection in cats that primarily affects the upper respiratory system. Here are some symptoms that an infected cat might experience:
- Sneezing and nasal discharge: Cats may have a runny nose and sneeze frequently.
- Conjunctivitis and eye discharge: Inflammation of the membranes lining the eyelids, leading to watery or pus-like discharge from the eyes.
- Ulcers in the mouth: Painful sores on the tongue, gums, lips, or nose, causing drooling and difficulty eating.
- Fever and lethargy: Cats may have a high temperature and appear tired or less active.
- Loss of appetite: Due to mouth ulcers and general discomfort, cats may eat less or refuse food.
- Coughing and difficulty breathing: Some cats may develop respiratory issues.
- Joint inflammation and lameness: In some cases, especially in kittens, cats may experience sudden painful lameness in one or more joints.
If you suspect your cat has been infected with FCV, it’s important to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment. Vaccination can help prevent the infection and reduce the severity of symptoms.
