Recently, I have received many messages from pet parents saying that their cats have contracted coronavirus and asking for advice. After talking with the pet parents, I found that there are many misconceptions about coronavirus.
Feline coronavirus is highly contagious, and with the current large-scale intensive breeding, it can be said that the probability of cats carrying coronavirus is almost 100%. So it’s quite normal for your cat to carry coronavirus. But why do many hospitals tell pet parents that their cats have coronavirus and need to be treated urgently with injections and hospitalization?
Because among the common intestinal diseases in cats, the treatment cost for coronavirus is the highest. Do you understand?
To reduce the anxiety caused by coronavirus, I have summarized the following points to prevent everyone from falling into the misconceptions about coronavirus:
- Feline coronavirus is not as scary as it seems; carrying it does not necessarily mean that medication treatment is required.
- Diarrhea and vomiting in cats are not necessarily caused by coronavirus.
- If you take your cat to the hospital and the doctor suggests a coronavirus test in a few words, you should be cautious.
- Asymptomatic coronavirus does not require medication treatment. At home, you can enhance the cat’s immunity by giving it supplements and a richer diet. Do you understand?
In the end, I still have that sentence: prevention is always better than cure.
