We have a cat center and something is killing the cats some with respiratory problems then some with nothing wrong and a bird we have passed away from the same problems. Antabotics won't help,Vets don't know what else to do. Anyone know what is going on?
Answers:
Would really need more information about the disease to help out but.. the usual suspects are viruses, bacteria, fungi, toxic living conditions (something as simple as some cleaners will kill a cat and a bird no prob!), etc. The easiest way is to send one for post-mortem and tissue histopathology and culture. It will cost some money but will be better for everyone in the long run. Special stains will say if it is viral, fungal or bacterial. Culture will tell specifically which. Toxicology screen will be necessary if the above are ruled out. I would be very concerned as you and the other staff may be at risk!
Have you tried separating them? Disinfecting the cages/play area/etc? If the vets don't know, why would you assume unqualified strangers would know?
