Calivirus is a common cat disease. It mainly infects cat eyes and respiratory tracts, causing discomfort symptoms such as redness, tears, coughing, and sneezing in cats' eyes. If not treated in time, the cat may be infected with other bacteria and aggravate the condition. If your cat is infected with calicivirus, you should take timely measures to treat it. Let us understand what to do.

First, take the cat to the veterinary office for diagnosis. Calicivirus is a relatively common virus that causes many symptoms of infecting cats, but these symptoms may also be manifestations of other diseases, so professional veterinarians need to be diagnosed. After the diagnosis is completed, the veterinarian will provide some treatment options for cats, and you can choose the appropriate plan according to the situation. Secondly, according to the veterinarian's advice, give the cat drug treatment. There are many types of drugs to treat calicivirus, including anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, antiviral drugs, etc. Choosing the right medicine for treatment can effectively alleviate the cat's symptoms and accelerate the recovery of the disease. It should be noted that cats take medication as prescribed by the doctor and take medications in time to avoid repeated attacks caused by overdose or insufficient treatment. Finally, help cats recover from health through care. During cats suffering from calicivirus, special attention should be paid to diet and hygiene. Provide cats with easy-to-digest, nutritious foods to avoid eating irritating, overly hot and cold foods. At the same time, keep the cat's living environment clean and clean regularly to prevent the virus from spreading further. In short, calicivirus is a virus that is more likely to infect cats, but as long as it is discovered early and treated actively, the cat will recover soon. If your cat has symptoms of calicivirus infection, do not ignore it and take it to the veterinary office for treatment in time. At the same time, we should also pay attention to daily nursing work and ensure the health of cats through scientific and reasonable diet, hygiene management and other measures.
