A highly contagious virus is spreading quickly among cats, posing a significant threat to their health. Feline panleukopenia, also known as feline parvo, can be especially dangerous for kittens, but it is also being seen in adult cats. Symptoms of the virus include diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and bone marrow suppression.

The virus can be difficult to contain as it can survive on surfaces for a long time. Veterinarians are warning cat owners to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. Further information on the virus and prevention tips are available from veterinarians and animal rescue organizations.
