The feline parvovirus is a virus that causes diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. It can cause severe disease, especially in kittens, and is often fatal. This disease is also known as feline panleukopenia, feline infectious enteritis (FIE), and feline distemper.

The specific virus that infects dogs does not infect cats, so cats can't get feline parvo from dogs. But dogs do get infected by a similar virus called the canine parvovirus-2 (CPV-2). The original CPV-2 can't infect cats, but newer variants (CPV-2a, CPV-2b, and CPV-2c) can infect your cat.

The feline parvovirus does not always cause symptoms. Some cats have the infection and no visible disease. The usual symptoms of cats sick with the parvovirus are:

Lethargy and depression

Frothing at the mouth or vomiting

Watery discharge from the nose

Fever in the early stages, followed by a low body temperature

Diarrhea, which may be watery or bloody

An inability to eat and drink

The disease can progress in severity and lead to death. Sometimes, a cat may have no symptoms but die suddenly.

Cats usually only pass the parvovirus in their stools for two days or so after they are infected. But some cats go on excreting this virus for up to six weeks while appearing to be healthy. These carrier cats can infect the environment and other cats living with them.

In the early stage of the disease, your sick cat may sit for a long time in front of their food or water bowl, unable to consume much.

A fever may happen during this early stage and rise to a high level. In advanced disease, your cat's body temperature may fall to lower-than-normal levels. This can be a sign of impending death.

Feline parvovirus disease can be difficult to diagnose, as its symptoms vary from mild disease to severe, fatal illness. The illness caused by this virus is also similar to that of a salmonella or campylobacter infection, a feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection, a feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection, and pancreatitis.

Along with the symptoms, a history of exposure and a lack of vaccination make this disease likely. Your veterinarian will order stool and blood tests to diagnose this disease. The laboratory may identify the virus in your cat's stools. The blood test would show a reduced number of all cell types (pancytopenia), a characteristic of feline parvovirus disease.

There are no medicines that can kill this virus. Good supportive care with intravenous fluids, nutrients, and antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infection may help your cat survive. Kittens have high mortality rates. Older cats have a better chance of surviving.

Parvo is a term used for the disease caused by the feline parvovirus. The illness is most common and severe in kittens. At birth, most kittens have antibodies from their mother. These antibodies protect them for the first few weeks. By the age of 4 to 12 weeks, this protection wanes, and the kittens become vulnerable to the virus.

Feline parvo is most common in cats 3 to 5 months old. The feline parvovirus is widespread in the environment, and almost all cats are exposed to it. Apart from young kittens, sick cats and unvaccinated cats are most likely to get this disease.

Cats can get infected during pregnancy and give birth to brain-damaged kittens. These kittens have difficulty walking and feeding.

The feline parvovirus attacks the cells in your cat's intestines, which causes diarrhea, vomiting, and difficulty eating and drinking. It also attacks the bone marrow, causing shortages of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

This virus is passed in poop, urine, and nasal secretions by cats who have the disease. The virus can contaminate cages, bedding, dishes, and the hands and clothes of handlers. Fleas from other infected cats can also infect your cat. The virus can survive in the environment for months, so your cat can get this disease without any contact with a diseased cat.

Cat-to-cat passage of the feline parvovirus also happens. This is more likely in multicat households, animal shelters, pet shops, and other places where several cats live together.

The most effective way of protecting your cat is by vaccination. Your veterinarian will usually advise you to start vaccination at the age of 8 or 9 weeks. Two or three doses, three to four weeks apart, are recommended. The last of these should not be before the age of 16 weeks. A follow-up dose at 26 to 52 weeks is now recommended.

Adult cats can also get the feline parvovirus. You must remember to give the booster doses of the vaccine regularly. Both live and killed vaccines are available and are very effective.

If one of your cats has a feline parvovirus infection, they must be isolated from other cats. Their litter box must be cleaned and disinfected regularly. The feline parvovirus can survive in the environment for many months, so you must disinfect your entire home to keep your other pets safe. If your other cats are not vaccinated, they are at a high risk.

Hinava atau Hinava Ginapan merupakan makanan tradisional bagi suku kaum Kadazan-Dusun di Sabah. Bagi suku kaum Bajau dari pantai timur Sabah, Hinava dikenali sebagai Kinilau. Makanan ini disediakan sama seperti mana Sushi dari Jepun disediakan. Ianya merupakan hidangan yang mana bahan utamanya ialah isi ikan segar yang tidak dimasak tetapi dibersihkan dengan cuka atau limau dan dicampur dengan bahan-bahan lain seperti biji buah Bambangan, cili merah, halia, bawang merah dan garam.

Ikan yang digunakan selalunya ikan tenggiri dan kadang-kala ikan Yu. Disebabkan ikan Yu antara spesis hidupan laut yang diancam kepupusan, makan ikan Tenggiri menjadi pilihan utama. Kadang-kala, ikan boleh digantikan dengan hidupan laut yang lain seperti udang dan sotong. Oleh kerana bahan-bahan dari laut seperti ikan, sotong dan udang tidak dimasak, bahan-bahan tersebut mestilah dalam keadaan segar.

Hinava selalunya dihidangkan sebagai menu harian dan menjadi hidangan wajib untuk hari-hari istimewa seperti majlis perkahwinan atau hari keramaian seperti Pesta Menuai. Ia lebih enak dimakan begitu sahaja atau dimakan bersama nasi yang masih panas atau bersama sambal pedas. Makanan ini boleh didapati di restoran atau gerai makanan tempatan dengan harga yang murah dan berpatutan. Terdapat juga hotel-hotel terkemuka di Sabah yang menyediakan makanan ini untuk diperkenalkan kepada pelancong yang datang ke Sabah.

Hinava boleh disediakan mengikut citarasa masing-masing. Berikut adalah beberapa blogger yang menyediakan resipi Hinava mengikut citarasa mereka. Klik di gambar atau link yang disediakan untuk melihat resipi mereka.
