Survival rate of cat flu in 2-month-old kittens

The survival rate of cat flu in kittens aged 2 months is generally around 50% to 70%. Cat flu is a terrifying disease for kittens, especially for those who are two months old. Cat flu is a viral disease, and its treatment and recovery are directly related to the kitten's own immune system and resistance. Treating cat flu in kittens aged two months is not easy.

How to prevent cat flu:

Vaccination

Vaccination is the most direct and effective way to prevent cat flu. The vaccine, commonly known as "cat triple," mainly prevents cat flu, feline herpesvirus, and feline calicivirus, providing long-term effective immune protection for cats.

Breastfeeding

If the kitten is born in a household, try to let the cat mother breastfeed as much as possible. Breast milk contains excellent antibodies for kittens. If the kitten ingests breast milk soon after birth, its intestines will absorb some of the antibodies, improving its immune system.

Environmental and item disinfection

When kittens are two months old, their immunity is relatively weak. Viruses may be transmitted through humans or kittens from the outside. If a kitten in a multi-cat household contracts cat flu, it is necessary to isolate and disinfect other kittens quickly and immediately disinfect the environment and items. Pet owners should also remember to disinfect themselves after touching stray cats outside to prevent spreading the virus to their cats.

Pay attention to timely treatment

If the owner discovers that the kitten is lethargic, has poor appetite, begins to fever, and shows symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, with vomit being yellow-green and stool being thick, it may be infected with the cat flu virus. Please take the kitten to the pet hospital immediately.
