Feline Lower Urinary Tract Diseases
Lower urinary tract signs (LUTS) in cats—including dysuria, haematuria, periuria, pollakiuria, and stranguria are common presenting complaints1. Multiple conditions can cause these signs, including feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC), urolithiasis, urinary tract infections, neoplasia, and anatomical abnormalities. Because of this overlap, a structured, algorithm-based diagnostic approach is ...
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is one of the most common infectious causes of disease of cats globally. Infection with FeLV can cause a variety of clinical signs, impacting a cat's longevity and quality of life. Vaccination and identification of infected cats is important in preventing disease transmission.
Feline leukaemia virus infection
An algorithm for the diagnosis of FeLV infection in a single cat, developed by the European Advisory Board on Cat Diseases , is included, and FeLV testing in specific situations is addressed.
Endogenous Gammaretroviruses Endogenous feline leukaemia viruses (enFeLV) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections in all domestic cats, originating from murine leukaemia viruses (MuLV). While enFeLV cannot replicate or cause disease alone, they can recombine with FeLV-A, potentially creating more pathogenic variants.
