Treatment, however, is unpleasant and costly. Cats should be vaccinated for rabies at 12 weeks or older and again each year or every three years, depending on the vaccine used. Some states require vaccination every year. It's almost impossible to prevent exposure, so all cats should be vaccinated. The FPL virus can affect many parts of a cat's body, causing fever, appetite loss, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, weakness, tremors, and incoordination.
Death can occur within a week.
FPL vaccination should be given to kittens in a series until they are at least 12 weeks of age and again every year. Feline Respiratory Disease Respiratory disease is easily passed from one cat to another by exposure to respiratory droplets in the air from a coughing or sneezing cat. Kittens can die from the disease, especially if they get pneumonia. Cats with respiratory disease have watery or sticky discharge from the nose and eyes, nose and mouth sores, inflamed eyes, and fever. Most respiratory diseases are caused by one of two viruses feline rhinotracheitis virus or feline calicivirus.
