What are the symptoms of Feline Bordetellosis?
Cats rarely cough. When they do, it’s time to see a veterinarian. A coughing cat could have caught a respiratory infection called feline bordetellosis.This dangerous but treatable illness is caused by a bacterium, and can be transmitted through shared use of water and food bowls. Bordetellosis is also called kennel cough because it can quickly spread among cats in confined areas. Sick cats show cold symptoms with runny noses, watery eyes, a reduced appetite, and fatigue. In severe cases, a cat may even develop pneumonia. Antibiotics are the best way to control the illness, and given time, they’ll help restore an ailing kitty to good health.
