Feline Parvovirus, is a contagious virus affecting cats. The disease, also called Feline Panleukopenia and Feline Distemper, is highly infectious and is spread from cat to cat through contact with an infected cat's bodily fluids, feces, or fleas.The virus primarily attacks the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, causing internal ulceration and, ultimately, total sloughing of the intestinal epithelium. This results in profuse and usually bloody diarrhea, severe dehydration, malnutrition, anemia, and often death. The virus causes a decrease in the cat's white blood cells, thus compromising its immune system.
