Feline upper respiratory tract disease (FURTD) is a common, multifactorial syndrome affecting cats.
Clinical signs of feline URTD include serous to mucopurulent ocular or nasal discharge, sneezing, epistaxis, and severe ocular, nasal, and/or oral pathology including inflammation and ulceration of mucous membranes and corneas. Signs can be acute or chronic. Common respiratory pathogens involved in the development of URTD include FHV-1, FCV, B. bronchiseptica, and C. felis. Diagnosis and treatment is often challenging due to the variability of clinical signs, presence of co-infection and patient compliance. All the aspects will be discussed in this presentation.
