Cats can get AIDS
ZUHAILA SEDEK

2009/04/09

Cats that stay indoors have less risk of getting FIV.

A simple blood test can put your mind at ease, writes ZUHAILA SEDEK.

Dr Nor-Alimah and her team treating their “patient” at Universiti Putra Malaysia’s veterinary hospital.

DOGS are regarded as our best companions. They never complain or give you a headache. They love you unconditionally. But cats can be man’s best friend too. It would really upset pet owners if something bad happens to their cats.

One of the diseases which threaten felines is Cats’ AIDS, or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

The virus was only detected in 1986 and is considered a new disease by many veterinarians.

According to Universiti Putra Malaysia’s head of veterinary officers Dr Nor-Alimah Rahman, FIV is similar to HIV because both diseases affect the immune system.
“Yet, the viruses are different and we shouldn’t worry as humans can’t get infected with FIV,” said Dr Nor-Alimah.

While humans transmit HIV via sexual activity, it is unlikely cats are infected with FIV in the same way.

The disease is largely transmitted through biting, mother-kitten bonding and fighting as the virus is found in high concentration in cat saliva, which also contains infected leukocytes (white blood cells).

“Though transmission through sexual activity is not common, the semen of infected cats contains the infectious virus. Therefore, it is still possible for cats to be infected with the disease through sex, though the probability is low.”

FIV, common especially among stray cats, is of the retrovirus family, indicating that a retroviral test should be done for early detection.

“The best way to detect the disease is to send your cat to the nearest veterinary clinic for a blood test.”

The test costs about RM45. The results can be obtained in 10 minutes.

“A negative result doesn’t mean that the cat is not infected. FIV poses a life-long infection, but detection of antibodies in peripheral blood has been judged sufficient for routine diagnostic screening (if the cat has not been previously vaccinated against FIV),” said Dr Nor-Alimah, adding that FIV-infected felines can live up to five years.

There is no cure for the disease and vaccinations should be administered to kittens as young as eight weeks as a preventive measure. The test, however, should be carried out before vaccination.

“If your cat is already infected by FIV, it is too late to vaccinate it.”

Veterinary surgeon Dr Goh Kim Siang from a clinic in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur said some signs to watch for are transient acute fever, swollen nodal lymphs, loss of appetite, and gum and skin infections.

“Besides sending your infected cat to the veterinary, emotional support is important, too. When your cat has good support, it is easier for it to get better,” Dr Goh said.

Though there is no cure, doctors will usually give their patients interferon to enhance their antibodies.

“The vaccine for FIV is pricey and is not easily available in Malaysia but FIV-infected cats can live many years with proper care, a balanced diet with vitamins, good husbandry and a healthy lifestyle.”

A balanced feline diet requires a lot of proteins. Avoid raw meat and dairy products because the risk of food-borne bacterial and parasitic diseases is much greater in immune-suppressed conditions.

The infected cat should be confined indoors to prevent the spread of the disease to other felines.

Jumaah Nairuddin acquired her pet cat, Figo, years ago.

“I never knew about the disease, but there was a time when Figo suddenly fell sick and it was frightening for my family because we love it so much,” said Jumaah. “He was lethargic all the time and didn’t eat properly. We sent him to the vet and the doctor said he might be having FIV.”

Figo was hospitalised for two weeks so that he could get the right care and treatment. It was a move that Jumaah and her family would never regret.

Figo is now healthy and happy though he was known to be a fighter among cats in the neighbourhood. Nowadays, he spends his time indoors and enjoys the company of Jumaah’s three-year-old daughter.

aci tak klu aku letak ubat luka mcm iodin kat luka tucing aku tuh

mcm nih...bengkak yang aku cakap ari tuh, bukannya bengkak pundi kencing or kemaluan dier  tapi bengkak tuh dah mcm bisul. skng nih dah pecah dah. skng nih tempat pecah tuh dah mengeluarkan air bisa dier

luka tuh nmpk bersih pasal bulat aku selalu jilat, tapi skng nih aku tak mahu lah luka tuh kena infection ker aper ker. yerlah dekat sgt dgn tmpt kencing, jadi takut lah jadi makin teruk pulak tempat luka tuh....

masalah skng nih aku nak letak ubat aper2 kat tempat tuh, aku takut dier jilat jer tempat luka tuh. kalu ubat tuh tak beracun tak jadi masalah lah...tapi aku takut si bulat tuh bukan mati sebab luka tapi sebab keracunan ubat

skng nih aku ader iodin, ubat luka biasa tuh. agak2 ko benda nih bahaya tak klu kucing aku jilat ....klu tak bahaya aku nak taruk jer...bukan aper, sblm kena infection luka tuh baik aku bertindak segera.....lagipun infection nih tersangat bahaya. boleh menyebabkan keracunan darah. lagi satu, klu asyik duk jilat jer mana sempat ubat tuh nak bertindak . aku nak letak corong kat leher dier mak aku tak kasik....aku pun tak pernah buat mcm tuh . sekse pulak nanti tgk dier pakai benda tuh

lepas pecah bengkak tuh, aku nampak tucing aku dah blh berlari-lari dan dah blh melompat dah. tapi tuh lah masalahnyer, luka tuh yang aku takut.....so mcm mana yer....patut ker aku letak jer uabat tuh.....

help me guys...

yushairi

Yus pernah buat camtu sagiman. InsyaAllah takde apa2. Selalunya Yus sapukan iodin tu, pastu Yus pegang dia kejap, pastu Yus lap kesan2 iodin tu. Just nak bagi iodin tu sikit ajer kat tempat luka. Sebagai langkah berjaga jaga.

Tapi esok kalo boleh bawak la pi klinik. Bole doktor cuci kan luka tu. Cukur bulu2 kat situ. Lagi cepat kering luka tu.2-3 hari dah kering. Good luck

sagiman91

klu gitu tak perlah yer klu dier jilat ubat tuh

tq   jap lagi nak pg kerja kan tucing tuh

craze

kucing aku kena penyakit nih..
dah sebulan lebih gak lah..
dulu slalu merayau, skang asyik duk rumah je..tido..
bdn mmg kurus..tp kuat mkn..
tiap2 hari wajib mkn ikan rebus..

kacang^soya

nak tanya...kalo kucing selalu bersin2 tuh napa ek..kengkadang smp termuntah sekali

yushairi

rasanya selesema tu kacangsoya. Pi bawak pi klinik, amik anti-histamine dengan antibiotik. Kalo selesema,kucing ni takde selera nak makan atau minum. Most probably badan akan dehydrate jugak. Dapatkan sekali multivitamin dari klinik tersebut dan kalau perlu, masukkan air dalam badan kitty tu. Rasanya laaa....

zahraannur

ye la tu kot. baik bawak pegi vet cepat. anak2 kat umah ni ade jugak yg tengah kene flu.sabar je la jaga diorang.Tak tahula dapat dari mana.nak kata outdoor cat, duduk dalam umah. nangis Mummy dia nengok...

Location kat mane?

zehra2

antar gi jbtn haiwan.. ada ubat utk kucing demam..
kalau terdesak.. pernah jugek cuba kasi kucing demam makan cortal kanak2.. suku jek.. sbb ubat manusia mmg tak sesuai utk haiwan..

boocik04

kalau nak bagi ubat manusia kat kucing, better make sure beza berat manusia dgn kucing tu.
so kalau bagi panadol, kalau manusia makan sebiji, kucing mungkin bole ambil 0.1 pil tu je sbb berat diorang 10 kali ganda kurang dari manusia...
better buat mcm zehra tu, bagi 1/4 pil utk kanak2 tu jer...
