What should a cat rescue worker do after FPV diagnosis?
The problem will be that their cat accommodation will be full of virus and very infectious for around a year following FPV diagnosis. There are two possible options: • first: only foster cats which have already been fully vaccinated against FPV, and so are immune. • Secondly, if kittens must be fostered, greatly reduce contamination of the environment by disinfection with a veterinary disinfectant such as Parvocide. Since parvovirus is excreted in the faeces, the litter trays should be particularly disinfected. Remember that disinfectants will only work when thorough cleaning has already been done. Reduce the number of kittens which are fostered and do not allow them into the room(s) which the diseased cat or kitten occupied.
