Feline Calicivirus (FCV)
The Feline Calicivirus (FCV) Test Card detects the presence of Feline Calicivirus, a highly contagious virus that primarily affects the respiratory system in cats. Infected cats may exhibit symptoms such as sneezing, nasal discharge, mouth ulcers, fever, and a reduced appetite. While many cases are mild, FCV infections can lead to more severe respiratory issues and complications, especially in kittens, older cats, or those with weakened immune systems. Early detection is essential for managing symptoms and preventing the spread of the virus to other cats.

Feline Calicivirus (FCV) is a contagious virus that primarily affects cats, causing respiratory and oral diseases. It is one of the leading causes of upper respiratory infections (URIs) in cats and can also cause mouth ulcers and joint pain. While some cats may recover with minimal complications, the virus can lead to more severe illness, especially in kittens, unvaccinated cats, or cats with weakened immune systems.
Feline Calicivirus spreads easily through direct and indirect contact with an infected cat’s bodily fluids, especially respiratory droplets.
Direct contact with an infected cat’s saliva, nasal discharge, or eye discharge.
Indirect contact via contaminated objects like food and water bowls, toys, bedding, or litter boxes.
The virus can also spread through airborne droplets when an infected cat coughs or sneezes.
Mild to Moderate Illness: Some cats may show mild symptoms and recover with minimal treatment, but others can suffer more severe respiratory symptoms or develop oral ulcers that affect their eating and drinking.
Complications: In rare cases, certain strains of FCV can cause more serious complications, such as pneumonia or joint pain (lameness), leading to longer-term health issues.
Kittens: Kittens under 6 months old are particularly vulnerable due to their developing immune systems.
Unvaccinated Adult Cats: Cats that haven’t been vaccinated are at high risk.
Cats in crowded environments: Shelters, rescue groups, and multi-cat households where close contact is frequent.
