A persistently viremic cat is a risk to other cats because it shed the virus in the environment.<\/p>\n<p>-The cat resists the evolution of the viremic phase because of the rapid and effective response of its immune system, which neutralizes the virus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; the cat resists but the virus is not neutralized and remains dormant in the body where it can develop as a result of certain stimuli. A cat with transient viremia may become FeLV-negative.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; the cat becomes infected, the virus remains latent but FeLV-related diseases never develop.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not the cat exhibits clinical signs related to infection, all FeLV-viremic cats are immunosuppressed.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"come-capire-se-il-gatto-ha-la-felv\"><strong>How to tell if your cat has FeLV?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Manifestations attributable to FeLV are highly variable, but weight loss is one of the first clinical signs of a cat&#8217;s deteriorating condition.<\/p>\n<p>They include immunosuppression-related disorders, anemia, malignant lymphoid forms but also dermatitis and immune-mediated diseases.<\/p>\n<p><em>FeLV-positive cats have an approximately 60 times greater risk of developing lymphomas than FeLV-negative cats.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Symptoms include: vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, apathy, dyspnea, neurological symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important that you visit your trusted veterinarian if your cat has these symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>A specific test will verify whether the cat has contracted the virus.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"la-diagnosi-e-l-approccio-terapeutico-per-la-felv-felina\"><strong>The diagnosis and treatment approach for feline FeLV<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Accurate diagnosis is important for both infected and uninfected individuals because the consequences of infection are always, or nearly always, fatal.<\/p>\n<p>There are relatively few effective treatment protocols to date directly aimed at eliminating FeLV infection.<\/p>\n<p>The administration of &#8220;Immunomodulators&#8221; is used to restore the immune system of FeLV-infected individuals to help the patient keep viremia under control and reduce the incidence of related diseases.<\/p>\n<p>The correct approach to diseases caused by a retrovirus must therefore be directed toward a maintenance of an optimal health status so as to avoid the possibility of the patient contracting other diseases that may aggravate the underlying condition.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"come-si-previene-la-felv-dal-gatto\"><strong>How to prevent cat FeLV<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There are several precautions to reduce the likelihood of infection:<\/p>\n<p>1) <strong><br \/>\n  <u>Sterilize<\/u><br \/>\n<\/strong> cats by the age of one year so as to avoid risky mating and fighting with other cats. Spaying\/neutering is also indicated in cats already infected so as to prevent transmission of the disease to healthy cats.<\/p>\n<p>2) <strong><u>Vaccinate<\/u> <\/strong>cats: vaccination for FeLV is recommended in all cats that have the opportunity to go outside and come into contact with potentially infected cats. Before proceeding, however, a blood test should be done to see if the cat has already been infected.<\/p>\n<p>3) <strong><br \/>\n  <u>Test<\/u><br \/>\n<\/strong> cats for FeLV all new individuals that are introduced within a group of cats.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"attenzione-se-vuoi-introdurre-in-casa-un-gatto-di-cui-non-conosci-lo-status-epidemiologico\"><strong>Be careful if you want to introduce a cat into your home whose epidemiological status you do not know!<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you wish to introduce into your home a cat whose epidemiological status you do not know and other felines are present, testing is imperative.<\/p>\n<p>The cat, although apparently healthy at the moment, may actually manifest the disease at a later time and pose a risk of exposure to the infection for its fellow cats.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"come-procedere-all-inserimento\"><strong>How to proceed with inclusion?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If the cat comes from a feline community in the territory, set up an environment separate it from the cats living at home.<\/p>\n<p>Contact your trusted veterinarian and request a thorough checkup.<\/p>\n<p>The veterinarian will subject the cat to an initial specific diagnostic test<\/p>\n<p>If no positives are found, your Veterinarian will ask you to re-examine the cat about a month later since during the pre-viraemic stage of the disease the tests may give negative results.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"e-se-il-gatto-e-felv-positivo\"><strong>What if the cat is FeLV-positive?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Many cats die within a few weeks of the onset of the overt disease, but it is also true that as many can live for years if properly and assiduously cared for and looked after.<\/p>\n<p>There is incredible individual variability, which is also related to the accuracy and speed of diagnosis as well as the effectiveness and timeliness of medical treatment.<\/p>\n<p>For FeLV-positive patients, good nutrition, optimal hygienic conditions, periodic checkups and a lot of goodwill from their human companions are essential to maintain good health and long life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For periodic checkups and practical advice, our Staff Physicians are at your disposal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We also remind you that in case of need and urgency Clinica La Veterinaria is always open h24 every day including holidays, and with First Aid service from 8 pm to
