Coryza is not due to a single microbe, but the association of several viruses and bacteria that often cause complications. This disease affects the upper respiratory tract of the cat.

Contamination
It is highly contagious and mainly affects animals living in the community, adults and kittens, unvaccinated. It can be transmitted directly (via sneezing) or indirectly (if your cat comes in contact with objects that have been soiled by another cat sick).

Symptoms The symptoms appear after a incubation period of 2 to 5 days:

• Fever
• Cough
• Sneezing
• Loss of appetite, more or less pronounced according to the animal
• Runny eyes and nose which the gene for breathing and his eyes finally stick
• Very tired
• The red spots may appear in the mouth.

Malignant Catarrhal fever is a common disease in cats. It is very complex because it is not due to a single infectious agent, but the association of several viruses and bacteria. Three viruses are involved in coryza cat and they all cause different symptoms:

• A virus of the family “herpes virus” causing an infection of the nose, respiratory tract and eyes. Symptoms vary depending on the cat’s age and his health. In young, they cause coughing, sneezing, significant discharge from the eyes and nose, conjunctivitis and weak general condition (loss of appetite and fever). In adults, it usually causes only a severe conjunctivitis with ulceration of the cornea.

This is the most dangerous viruses. It can be fatal in animals weakened if it does not establish an early treatment.

• A Calicivirus also causing fever and depression, runny nose and eye-especially ulcers in the mouth (sharp red patches on the tongue or gums). These mouth sores are painful and cause significant salivation and loss of appetite.
• A Reovirus. In these viral attacks, there are the bacteria that often superimposed and cause complications in the already debilitated cats: pus in the eyes and nose. However, a bacterium enters the description of coryza. It is chlamydia. It is very contagious and the disease is especially serious when the cats are young. The secretions flow from the eyes can coupling the two eyelids drying.

About Asthma

Asthma is a respiratory illness that is manifested by periods during which the airways constrict. During a crisis, opening airways is reduced because of inflammation and contraction of the muscles of the bronchial wall. A crisis is often a dry cough, followed by difficulty breathing, which causes wheezing clearly audible.

Two periods of life seem more conducive to asthma: the childhood and early forties. People with asthma have an incentive to monitor their treatment and to adjust their lifestyles accordingly. Poorly controlled asthma symptoms can transform sporadic in permanent symptoms.

Symptoms

For some people, asthma is distinguished only by a persistent cough which often occurs at bedtime or after exercise.

Some experts believe that these three entities represent three different diseases with similar clinical features, while others are different presentations of the same disease.
To make a diagnosis of this disease is very important to have the urine test. The latter reveals the presence of proteinuria (presence of bacteria in urine) of 3 + or 4 + and 20% of children observed microscopic hematuria. Read the rest of this entry »

Rhinitis is a reaction that occurs in the eyes, nose and throat when the irritants in the air (allergens) trigger the release of histamine. Histamine causes inflammation and fluid production in the fragile linings of nasal passages, sinuses and eyelids.

Sinusitis

The primary cause that leads to sinusitis is obstruction of the sinus openings. With this obstruction, blood circulation and ventilation of the sinus cavity are lower, leading to a drop in PO2 that favors bacterial growth. The infection can be acute, intermittent or chronic. The most common causes are bacteria, although rarely fungal and viral etiologies also cause sinusitis. Read the rest of this entry »
