Immunodeficiency in cats

An immunodeficiency is a viral infection that affects the body's immune system. The first mention of the virus in cats was in 1986. In one of the kennels, in the northern part of California, the first case of immunodeficiency in a cat was recorded. Further research revealed that this virus is not a newly acquired one. It was found that the infection existed long before its official discovery. In 1988, scientists discovered the presence of VIK (feline immunodeficiency virus) in many feline representatives in zoos. However, the theory of the possibility of transmitting a viral disease to humans has been refuted.Research has shown:- VIC spreads much faster in cats, which are prone to chronic diseases.- The infection grows with the animal. That is, kittens almost never get sick, but adults and old individuals get sick much more often.- The highest percentage of cases was found in males.- Domestic cats almost never get sick, unlike street cats.- No genetic predisposition has been identified.- The disease can be transmitted through bites (through the saliva of an infected animal).Symptoms of the disease:- The incubation period of the virus is quite difficult to determine. It can last from a couple of weeks to several years.- The main sign of infection is an increased body temperature, an increase in lymph nodes. In rare cases, there is a purulent lesion of the skin.- After the first stage of the disease, the virus may subside. This means that all the symptoms disappear without a trace. Infection can only be shown by a clinical blood test.- Next is the last stage of the disease. Decreased immunity, which are associated with clinical symptoms.Clinical symptoms of immunodeficiency in cats:- Fever, apathy, refusal of food, malaise. All these are common signs.- Gum inflammation of varying severity was found in more than 50% of patients.- Up to 20% of the feline family begins to suffer from gastric diseases, respiratory and genitourinary diseases.- When infected with the virus, diseases and inflammations of the eyeballs are also observed.Diagnosis of the immunodeficiency virus in cats Today, there are several methods for detecting the virus:- Rapid tests.- PCR or polymerase chain reaction. This is a longer method than the test, but more accurate.What should I do if there are infected and healthy cats in the house?If both cats live peacefully, then there is no need to separate them. The main thing is to divide the dishes. If a cat is walking on the street, then its movements should be isolated. Because a cat fight can infect a healthy pet. If the patient does not have clearly expressed symptoms, it is recommended to sterilize her (castrate her if it is a cat). This will reduce aggression and the tendency to walk.
