This
virus is another major cause of upper respiratory tract
infection in cats. Widespread and highly contagious,
its symptoms of fever, ulcers and blisters on the tongue
and
pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs) can range from mild
to severe,
depending on the strain of virus present. Once again, treatment
of this
disease can be difficult. Even if recovery does take place,
a recovered
cat can continue to infect other animals, as well as experience
chronic
sneezing, runny eyes and severe gum disease. Vaccination
is therefore
tremendously important.
