Serious cat disease is going around

Feline panleukopenia, often referred to as cat distemper, is a serious and highly contagious viral disease caused by the feline panleukopenia virus (FPV). This virus belongs to the parvovirus family, a family of small DNA viruses known for their ability to spread rapidly and cause severe illness in their hosts. Feline panleukopenia primarily affects cats and other members of the Felidae family, such as tigers and lions, but can also occur in other animals such as raccoons and minks.
