In addition we can minimize the risk so that the kitten was not affected by the disease by ensuring that older cats don't go out or meet with other cats until they were given the vaccine. Yet we must still be vigilant because there are some health problems that are normally common in older cats. Curious about anything? Cattery.co.id will discuss it for catlovers.
1. Upper respiratory tract infections
Upper respiratory tract infections, such as feline calicivirus and feline herpes virus is famous as the "killer kitten", especially if the cat was only a few weeks. Upper respiratory tract infections in cats is usually caused by bacteria or virus, which is usually transmitted when cats are being sneezed or breath.
Symptoms: sneezing is the main symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections in cats. Although sometimes the kitten will be a sticky yellowish discharge from the eyes and runny nose. If the cat to have difficulty breathing or refuse to eat, the situation is already serious meaning.
Treatment: Bring the cat to the vet. If he can still eat and drink and feel comfortable and breathing normal, we can still put off until tomorrow. Upper respiratory tract infections in cats are very difficult to treat, especially that caused by a virus, because there is no cure anti virus which is really effective.
Recovery: after five to seven days, infection of the upper respiratory tract in cats tend to be reduced. But the virus usually remains in the cat's body, waiting to resurface and cause upper respiratory tract infections again at a later date.

Feline Distemper (panleukopenia) is very rare, but it is very deadly. This is a virus that attacks the immune system of our cats and spend it not left. In other words, distemper nearly untreatable. Distemper vaccine is already available and given in routine. Feline Distemper can be transmitted through feces route that goes into the mouth, even in microscopic amounts of contaminated feces can cause feline distemper.
Symptoms: kittens affected by distemper usually seriously ill, suffering from vomiting, lack of appetite, and diarrhea is horrible-shaped white mucus.

Veterinarians often give them plenty of fluids and antibiotics to prevent secondary infections. Unfortunately kittens suffering from feline distemper is often in euthanasia.
