Distemper (Panleukopenia) in Cats 4/30/2024 Feline distemper, caused by a parvovirus, is a life-threatening disease. The virus is considered ubiquitous, meaning it is in virtually every place that is not regularly disinfected.

This can create tremendous anxiety (imagine attempting to take a deep breath and finding that you simply cannot). Anxiety leads to more rapid breathing and more distress. A respiratory crisis from the partial obstruction can emerge creating an emergency and even death. Meningioma in Dogs and Cats 4/15/2024 Meningioma is the most common brain tumor of cats and dogs.
