(Feline infectious Resp Dz)
(causes)
- two viruses that cause?
- three bacteria that cause?

- chlamydia felis, bordetella bronchiseptica, mycoplasma felis
(Feline infectious Resp Dz)
(transmission)
- 3 ways?
- aerosol, direct contact, fomite
(Feline infectious Resp Dz)
cats that recover from FHV or FCV become subclinical carriers
- how long is FHV shed?
- FCV?
- lifelong, intermittent shedding for 2 weeks
- months to years
(Feline infectious Resp Dz)
(cx)
sudden onset nasoocular discharge, with anorexia, fever, and depression
