Feline coronavirus (FCoV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus that infects cats worldwide. [2] It is a coronavirus of the species Alphacoronavirus 1 , which includes canine coronavirus (CCoV) and porcine transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV).
Remdesivir and GS-441524 were both found to be effective in vitro against feline coronavirus strains responsible for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a lethal systemic disease affecting domestic cats. Remdesivir was never tested in cats (though some vets now offer it [1]), but GS-441524 has been found to be effective treatment for FIP.
Deafness can occur in white cats with yellow, green or blue irises, although it is mostly likely in white cats with blue irises. [4] In white cats with one blue eye and one eye of a different color (odd-eyed cats), deafness is more likely to affect the ear on the blue-eyed side. [1] Approximately 50% of white cats have one or two blue eyes. [5]
Pet cats and dogs cannot pass the new coronavirus on to humans, but they can test positive for low levels of the pathogen. Pet cats and dogs cannot pass the new coronavirus on to humans, but they ...
But it has several mutations in the spike protein, which is what the virus uses to infect you. That can make XEC more contagious than previous variants, he says.
Feline diseases are often opportunistic and tend to be more serious in cats that already have concurrent sicknesses. Some of these can be treated and the animal can have a complete recovery. Others, like viral diseases, are more difficult to treat and cannot be treated with antibiotics, which are not effective against viruses.
Cats haven’t been known as a main spreader of virus circulating in the U.S. ‒ but that could change in the future. “If us humans don’t care for our animals, it’s probably not going to ...
