  • Feline Leukemia Virus (Felv)
    Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) What is feline leukemia virus (FeLV)? Feline leukemia virus infects cats world-wide. FeLV can suppress the immune system, decreasing the ability of a cat to fight infections. The virus can also cause several types of cancer, such as leukemia and lymphoma. In the United States, about 2%-3% of all cats are infected with FeLV. The viral infection is diagnosed by a blood test performed at a veterinary clinic. How do cats get this virus? Cats get FeLV from other cats that are infected. An infected cat can shed the virus in their saliva, nasal fluids, urine, feces and milk. The virus can be transmitted between cats through bite wounds, mutual grooming, sharing food dishes, and from mother to kitten. What happens once a cat is infected? Every cat infected with FeLV will go down one of two paths: 1. The cat’s immune system is able to fight off infection within the first 2-6 weeks. The cat will show no signs of illness and the virus will go into an inactive state. These cats are unlikely to transmit the disease to another cat. 2. The cat’s FeLV test remains positive for more than 16 weeks. These cats will likely not be able to fight off infection and will likely develop FeLV associated diseases within a few years. Cats in this stage have a higher likelihood of being able to transmit the disease to another cat. The only way to determine the outcome of each cat is through a repeat blood test at a later date.

  • Rabies Confirmed in Wilmerding Cat; Health Department Issues Precautions
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ryan Scarpino December 27, 2017 Public Health Information Officer 412-578-8312 (office) 412-339-7995 (cell) [email protected] Rabies Confirmed in Wilmerding Cat; Health Department Issues Precautions PITTSBURGH – The Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) has confirmed a cat that was brought to one of its facilities has tested positive for rabies. The cat was discovered in the 400 block of Orient Avenue in Wilmerding. An adult female was scratched by the rabid cat, and she has been advised to seek medical treatment. The cat also had exposure to other animals in the vicinity. Residents in that area who have had exposure to a feral cat, or if their pet has had exposure, should contact ACHD immediately. “We strongly urge all residents to avoid any kind of contact with a wild or stray animal, particularly those in Wilmerding, where the rabid cat was found,” said ACHD Director, Dr. Karen Hacker. “If any animal appears to be acting strange or becomes threatening, residents should notify their local animal control service, the police or the Pennsylvania Game Commission immediately.” Rabies is a virus transmitted by an animal bite or scratch, and exposures due to a bite or scratch are almost always fatal when left untreated. In this specific case, the animal was not foaming at the mouth, as is typically perceived as a sign of rabies, but was instead lethargic and appears as sickly, weak and hissing when approached. All county residents should always avoid stray animals and wildlife, even if they appear healthy, to avoid exposure to rabies.

  • Feline Leukemia Virus (Felv) FAQ What Is Feline Leukemia Virus (Felv)? Feline Leukemia Virus (Felv) Is a Type of Virus Called a Retrovirus That Can Infect Cats
    Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) FAQ What is Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)? Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a type of virus called a retrovirus that can infect cats. FeLV cannot be transmitted to dogs or humans. Many cats that are exposed to FeLV and initially test positive for FeLV will mount an effective immune response that suppresses the virus (called regressive infection); these cats will test negative on subsequent tests, do not have symptoms of FeLV, and are at low risk of transmitting the disease to other cats. Cats that are unable to suppress the virus with their immune systems (called progressive infection) repeatedly test positive for FeLV, are at a higher risk of developing FeLV-associated illness, and can shed virus (and thus be contagious to other cats). How is FeLV Spread? FeLV is spread by close contact with other cats. The primary mode of infection is through saliva— mutual grooming, fighting, and (rarely) sharing dishes can transmit infection. An infected mother cat can spread FeLV to her kittens during birth or nursing. Kittens are more susceptible to FeLV infection than adult cats due to their immature immune system. The FeLV virus cannot survive for very long in the environment, so cats that do not have close contact with an infected cat are unlikely to be exposed to infectious virus in the environment. The virus is easily inactivated by common disinfectants and can’t survive in a dry environment. How is Infection Diagnosed? FeLV is detected by a blood test that can be done at your veterinarian’s office. There are several types of test for FeLV—the most common one is called an ELISA test.
