Fighting Panleukopenia, a Deadly Cat Virus

Panleukopenia is one of the most tragic and fatal viruses that kittens can get. This virus can be avoided through the FVRCP vaccine, so please vaccinate your cats! Because young kittens are immunocompromised and may be too young for vaccination, many are susceptible to this deadly disease. In this video, I'll share 9 things you can do to fight panleukopenia and keep these kittens alive.

Thank you so much for this video. This builds hope for me. My cat was just tested positive today. I broke down into tears, but I suddenly remembered you. I knew you would have some content out there regarding this. I am going to do everything I can to save her. Please do pray for her. Update: My cat survived 🙏😊

[@VictorJD]

Can I ask how long it took for full recovery? I also got this dreaded diagnosis today :(

[@bushraansari7081]

Please tell me what did you do to make her survive? It would be of great help😢🙏🏻

[@VictorJD]

@@bushraansari7081 hey, sorry to hear that :'( I wish I could offer more help but at least in my case it was either a false positive, or I got the kitten while it was already on its way to recovery. Hydration seems to be the most important thing, but if you use Pedialyte get the unflavored one. Even better is the subcutaneous fluid that you can get at the vet.

[@shamyshamuswow213]

Good luck honey I hope your kitty is okay 🙏❤️

[@cgsbae8083]

Hows ur cat now?????

[@rebeccagordon9312]

My kitten Misty was 4 weeks old when I discovered her in a pet store. I knew I had to take her home; she looked so sad in her cage and shouldn't have even been there so young! She seemed fine the first few days; she did have a little diarrhea but I assumed it was due to the stress of moving to a new environment. As the week progressed, she developed anorexia and began losing weight (she started out at just under 1 lb.) Finally, after bringing her into the vet for several days in a row, they perform the parvo test on her and it came back positive. The vet said there was nothing that could be done at that point... My poor baby sadly passed away the next day. We'd only had her a week. The whole family was devastated, but we were so glad to have known this little kitten. She was the sweetest thing ever, and we were glad that she didn't die in the pet store as some nameless kitten; she had a home where she was loved deeply. We lost her this past September but I still miss her so much...

[@nomadbl]

I'm so sad to hear this... Just yesterday my little kitten that I rescued off the street died the same way. Such a similar story too.. Took him to the vet once he had diarrhea, and he was fine and playful, but after a few days he suddenly refused to eat and had massive wight loss... Tried feeding him with a syringe, warming him up, round the clock... Only to lose him :'( I don't understand why the vet didn't suggest hospitalization so he could get an IV or something to help... So sad right now :(

[@virginiavaeth2586]

I am shocked a pet store would rehome a 4 week year old, better to find a kitten from someone with a pet cat where pet cat had vaccines.

[@ztoollzl]

R.I.P.

[@thunder_lightning2630]

Deepest condolences for your cat, dude. Really hope you can find a cat that is just like the cat you had, good luck!

[@TheVeronmendoza]

Im so sorry for your loss. The same thing Just happened to me and my family 😔 we had a beautiful little 2 1/2 month old kitten for one week. We had to put him down because of parvo. We're so heartbroken 💔 but he was so loved by all of us and I wouldn't change his time with us for the world. 🤍❤ R.I.P beautiful babies

[@shk926]

My own cat had this (spoiler alert: and survived!) as a kitten. When we adopted her from the shelter, the vet told us that she could throw up due to stress of a new environment for around a week, so we thought nothing of it when she threw up a few times as soon as she came home. She loved eating and she was so playful like a normal kitten, so we never suspected that she might be sick. Three days after we adopted her, we found a wriggling parasite in her throw-up, so we immediately took her to a 24-hour vet at 2 am. After running some tests, the vet learned that she had parasites in her belly, which was easily treatable, but also that she had panleukopenia. Ironically, it was thanks to the parasites that we were able to detect the virus so early on. The vet told us that the normal survival rate is around 10%, but with panleukopenia, it is all about the percentage "game." They can raise the chances of survival by doing certain treatments. It also depends on the cat's will to live. My boyfriend and I were both in college, so we weren't exactly rich, but my boyfriend broke all of his savings to raise her chances as much as he could. In the end, she stayed in a special isolated room with a 24/7 IV hooked up for 2 weeks. She had various treatments and even a blood transfusion when it seemed like she was getting worse. It cost around $4500 dollars for everything, but every penny was worth it. She is now nearly 3 years old and she is an amazing friend. She is super playful, affectionate, and loving. I think she somehow knows that we saved her life because she loves me more than any other cat I've had.

[@KittenLady]

I'm so glad she survived. What a fighter!

[@shk926]

Thanks so much 💕💕 She really is a fighter! Even from the first blood test they did, she wriggled and meowed like a crazy cat. The vet said that she fought so hard against them that he knew she would fight even harder against the virus. Thank you for making videos like this. I love all of your videos and I've watched nearly every single one. Because of your channel, I plan to become a foster home after I move into my own place in the near future. Your channel is so inspiring and educational. 😻

My 2 month old kitten is going through panleukopenia too. We took her to a vet and right now she is being hospitalized. I hope she gets better.

[@theresaatkins7870]

Oh man this takes me back several years ago when I did a rescue of a senior cat with terminal kidney disease and I had to learn how to do at home fluid therapy. Rocky was so calm and accepting for each session. I did it via a slow drip of 2 cc from liter bag so I turned it into a hold and cuddle time. We were able to give him another year of quality time before his poor body shut down. He was an abused kitty so he had other physical problems as well. I'll never forget his eyes when he cuddled with me in the evenings. I still miss him.

[@tabby2957]

I know you said this two years ago, but i need to remind you you're a hero to that kitty. You gave him so much love and a while extra year, with the best care he'd probably ever had. I hope you're still being a hero, two years later 🥰

[@mbk3509]

I’m super happy Hank survived panleukopenia cuz it’s such a horrible thing to go through. Unfortunately I’ve had two kittens that got panleukopenia a bother and sister that I rescued from outdoors. Unfortunately my little girl Lucky didn’t survive because I didn’t know the signs and symptoms when she got sick and she passed so quickly in just two days after showing any symptoms, I tried to get her to the vet but she got sick on Friday night after my vet was already closed and passed on Sunday. She really didn’t seem that sick but I was so very wrong and I will never forgive myself. But I was there with her every second and because of her I was able to catch it right away when her brother came down with it two days after Lucky passed away. Unfortunately when Lucky passed away we didn’t know why, but then when her brother Scabby had the exact same symptoms I rushed him to the vet and that’s when I found out that Lucky most likely died from panleukopenia. It truly breaks my heart that I didn’t catch it soon enough to save her life but because of her, her brother is still alive and doing really well and now is over a year old, but still to this day he runs around crying his and Lucky’s special cry that they would use to talk to each other trying to find his sister that is no longer here. I will never forgive myself for not being able to save my little girl’s life. That month was one of the hardest times in my life and I will never forget my little Lucky Duck 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 I hope my little angel is in a better place and is looking down on me and her bother and is happy she saved her bothers life by giving her own. I will always wish I could do it over again and save her too but at least I have a piece of her every time her bother lays down in my arms. Love you forever Lucky 😭💔

My heart really breaks today😔

[@zhoradaiyu5184]

Did she survive? If not, my condolences ❤

[@Fitzroyfallz]

You really should take them to the vet straight away if you think they have the slightest possibility of having it. It's not something you should try to take care of yourself in your own home. We have recently had an outbreak in Sydney, Australia, where it hasn't been seen for 40 years. At the vet I do work experience with, they had 2 cats with panleukapenia, and one perfectly healthy 5 year old cat had to be sedated within 3 days of showing symptoms. The other is still in intensive care. Do not touch other cats or their food bowls after touching a cat with panleukapenia, and of course, ensure that your cats are up to date with their vaccinations.

[@Carmelle747]

This is a great guide! Thank you for making it- very comprehensive. It takes me back to my first foster kittens, a litter from the ACCT with Calicivirus, who’s mother was put down because she was too sick. Repeated sub-Q fluids made all the difference. I lost one of the four kittens, and felt guilty, but in the end was so grateful she didn’t pass alone in the shelter. Thanks for emphasizing the reality of losing kittens and how to cope.W/ LOVE from Philly

My kitten was diagnosed with panleuk when he was 8 weeks old. He spent 5 days in the hospital and initially the vet recommended I put him down because she thought he wouldn’t make it. I personally felt that leaving this world should be his choice and it was my responsibility to give him the best chance to fight it out. Luckily he is a super strong boy. He responded so well to the treatments and after he came home, I followed everything you said in your video (minus plasma) .. right now he’s on his third week in isolation and he is doing so well!

The way Hank is enjoying a full-body massage during this whole video 🥰

[@dmxnlss]

hannah, I just wanted to leave you a huge thank you because your video helped me save 3 foster kittens last year. they were all infected at ~4 weeks (too young to receive the vaccine) and were given a 10% chance of survival from the veterinarian. (that vet was apparently shocked--and relieved--when they were called by the adoptive parents later for their medical histories 😅) using the advice from your video, i gave the kittens intensive care for ~2 weeks, and all 3 survived and are now happily adopted. beside the prescribed antibiotics, i think the supplementary probiotics, vitamin b shots and the OTC pepside were absolutely critical to their outcome (they visibly improved after each B shot!) and i never would have known to give those if not for your video. it was an incredible learning experience and i feel so much joy when looking at pictures of them now, all grown up. thank you.

[@melissab1360]

Thank you for this! This past March while in a temp rescue our 2 cats got panleuk. My twin daughters cat pulled through (barely) but has had a rocky recovery, while my other daughters therapy cat sadly did not. We were notified 4 days after she passed which was less than 24hrs after getting sick. It has forever altered our family and has left my 5 kids heartbroken. I'm also told the rescue lost 3 of their own cats at the same time and at least 1 other rescue. This is a virus I knew nothing about until it affected our cats and one I wish I had. We were told that its 95% fatal if not caught early and treated vigorously. I hope Hank continues to thrive and that this info helps save other kitties.

[@lindseybsmith]

[@jeannettebrys2604]

One of the "problems" of rescue is the human tendency to guilt when a kitten dies. It takes special ability to totally accept reviewing everything you did to correct any failing AND accepting that sometimes death wins AND stepping up for the next round. As to the vet (ugh) sometimes as a person there is CYA response when the outcome is not good with "Dont blame me! Your fault."

[@Andreaaaaaaaaaaa]

So sorry.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound. ...

My cat Kiwi actually survived this disease! it didn't ring a bell at first because in french we call it feline typhus... We found him hidden in our boiler room when he was barely a month old, very thin and dirty and infested with fleas. After a good bath and gaining some weight he looked like a literal ball of fur with fluffy ears, just the size of my hand! He got panleukopenia when he was a few months old, only a couple of weeks after surviving a car accident that left him with a paralyzed tail. The poor thing was hospitalized for almost two weeks, i still remember how weak and thin he was when he got back home, still dizzy from tranquilizers, paws and tail sheared and covered with bandaids after being perfused so many times. His growth was impaired by all these health issues though, and he remained a small cat with kitten-like features. He's also quite clumsy due to the semi-paralysed tail, that we thankfully didn't have to amputate. He turned 11 this year, and he's the fluffiest and most adorable cat ever

A kitten I rescued in a foreign country while I was on vacation died from this illness. I did not have the knowledge nor the power to do something this useful in that situation, but I'm watching your video so that it will never happen again. I am so sorry and I feel guilty...

[@tsunamip2708]

Hank's a fighter!

POSTED ON MY BDAY YAY I love kitties

[@bindiagupta3022]

I have lost 4 kittens to this virus. All of them stopped eating and were not swallowing anything properly. Glad that your kitten ate. An adult cat survived the virus by herself.

[@JaneDoe-rc1dy]

My second ever time fostering kittens we had a scare with panleukopenia! It ended up being giardia, but I remember being at the humane society, waiting to hear about the panleuk test results... All of my foster kittens and the mom were fine, but it took like 3 months to get rid of the giardia This is an amazing video, and I'm so happy little Hank lived!

[@indigobluepics]

Yay, Hank! She's so damned cute. When I got Lucy at 8 wks, she was coming down with pneumonia and wouldn't/couldn't eat, so I put her on KMR formula and she ate only that for several days until she'd turned the corner (also getting vet treatment, obviously). She'll be 7 in May and still gets KMR from time to time as a treat.

[@cryila]

She is one of the sweetest kittens I’ve ever seen! Poor baby. ): hope she does super!💗

[@itsbritneybisch8552]

Our family lost 4 kittens in a span of 1 week due to Panleuk. That was 4-5 years ago. We were new cat owners, barely knew what to feed them, and when they got sick, we brought them to the vet but were told they couldn't do anything for the kittens anymore. I was so happy that Hanky survived! Happier that she now has a forever home with Kodi!

[@bedheadzen]

Played this in the room and both my kittens started meowing so much to the first few seconds. Truly a kitten lady😂

[@lindaweiland5119]

Being involved in rescue, I've seen the devastation of feline distemper, it's heartbreaking. In our area, when kitties are TNRd, they get a rabies and distemper vaccine.

[@geekfreak2000]

Hank is so big!!!!! I love this baby❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍

[@deborahcook2662]

Thanks for this, Hannah. Today I'm taking my first batch of babies for the season, and having lost so many to panleukopenia last year, I'm developing a protocol for our entire rescue to use. I want us all to have the tools we need right off the bat so that we can save more of them.

[@meepnope4389]

She is so tiny and sweet i want to cry

[@DanaJoTucker]

I love Hanky so much. She is so sweet and cuddly! ❤😻

[@raqueltonks]

I actually had to watch the video twice because I kept getting distracted by Hank super enjoying face rubs lol Thanks for this, Hannah. I'm a vet and your video will make my job much easier when trying to explain home care. I love you, baby Hank!!

[@mattinterweb]

When a You tuber is more informative than your vet. Thank you!

[@laurazamrripa4983]

Hank is just a cute little bean I’m so glad he survived

[@Lexi-xm8jg]

I'm glad baby girl hank is way better!

[@aymamiah]

She is a spitting image of my little kitty, Tiger! She’s soo precious 😍 I’m so proud of you Hank! Your so strong xx

[@Christine-fs4ug]

One of my 2 bottle kittens died last weekend from this. I feel so bad cuz I didn't know. I thought since i was given her Pedialyte mixed with formula hourly shed be ok but she wasn't. She died in my hands. My heart broke. Luckily I was smart enough to separate the kittens when Claudia first got diarrhea so Lewis didn't get sick too. After she died i sterilized the kennel and litter box she was using. I also washed my hands to the point of the skin getting sore. I've since taken Lewis the surving kitten to the vet this past week. She is very healthy thank God and she recieved her first round of shots for this and the other stuff. Thank you for your videos. I thought I new a lot about csring for kittens but since i found yiu i realized i really didn't know Jack. So thank you for all you do for the kittens and for those of us who love to help kittens too. You're a good soul.

[@michaelmoran4157]

My two current fosters are panleuk survivors as were the last two. All four are now healthy and happy. The only sign they were ever sick is a strong will to live. The two I have now, Kirk and Kyra, have been adopted and will go to their new home next week. Thank you, Kitten Lady, for this video. It's a nasty disease but it doesn't have to be a death sentence.

[@kit6863]

Pretty little rare girl! What a fighter!

[@livderagon5419]

Look at how big she's gotten 😭 So glad that she's OK. Go Hank!

[@amazingcrs2126]

[@amberbellknight9944]

Thank you Hannah for all you do for these kittens.

[@honeyglow7781]

[@superficialtamarind]

Poor little sweetheart! She looks so much better now

[@ayeshafarooq7453]

I think you'r doing a wonderful job helping these kittens and how you are helping sanctuaries help kittens and cats. I love you and you'r work. Don't ever give up, we all stand with you

[@user-jj6vd7ml5f]

I know this video is sort of old, but i just wanted to say thank you so much for posting all of this info. We adopted a kitten (who was only 6 weeks old) about 3 months ago and he tested positive for panleukopenia 3 days later. We followed everything in this video and worked closely with our vet and he survived! Thank you so much for contributing to his survival. His name is Sam and he's such a meaningful part of our family and we are so happy he's still around.

[@choerrycola8880]

[@Allycat101010]

Hank is such a fighter, and you such a dedicated caretaker. Bless you both.

[@sugarghast]

*thousands of people clapping for Hank.*

[@rachelarnold23]

Not gonna lie... I had to watch this twice because watching Hank's face was so distracting and zen like I missed all the information. Go baby girl Hank!

[@KittenLady]

LOL. She is very cute in this video.

[@morningstarkeke]

You did amazing girl! And of course, your foster mom did too. I'm so glad that you are a strong survivor Hank. You did us proud!

[@deemcgee5081]

Hank has been through so much! I can't wait to see her go to her furever home ❤

[@shamyshamuswow213]

You told me even more than the vet did at the emergency visit ❤️ thank you so much
