NICE, Calif. – Officials are urging residents of the Nice area to take precautions due to a breakout of feline panleukopenia.
Lake County Animal Care and Control reported that it has recently seen a feline panleukopenia outbreak in the area of Pyle Road to Lincoln Street in Nice.
Feline panleukopenia is a highly infectious disease that can infect all wild and domestic members of the cat population.
Infected cats can shed large amounts of the virus in all body secretions including feces, vomit, urine, saliva and mucus.
The primary signs of infection include anorexia, lethargy, profuse watery to bloody diarrhea, and vomiting.
Feline panleukopenia requires immediate and aggressive treatment for survival. Infection can be fatal in less than 24 hours.
Prevention is vital to protect cats. Animal Care and Control is recommending that cat owners in the area contact their veterinarian for specific vaccination recommendations.
