Abstract

A total of fifty faecal samples were taken from the cats or kittens of different ages groups for diagnosis of feline panleukopenia out of which 35 were positive for FPL by PCR method and the blood and serum samples from FPL affected cats were considered for this study. Haematological studies revealed anaemia and leucopenia due to neutropenia and lymphopenia with relative monocytosis in FPL affected cats. Biochemical studies in feline panleukopenia affected cats revealed a significant increase in liver-specific enzymes viz. ALT, AST, and ALP without any alteration in TP, Albumin, Globulin, and AG ratio of FPL affected cats as compared to corresponding values of apparently healthy cats. The KFT parameters revealed a marginal increase in mean values of serum Creatinine and BUN in FPL affected cats. A significant decrease in serum values of Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride in FPL affected cats was observed as compared to corresponding values of apparently healthy cats.
