Cat A has virus. Vet says wait it out. Now cat B has virus. Follow steps for cat A??

Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. It sounds like you're dealing with a contagious virus that's made its way to Cat B after Cat A caught it. You're definitely not alone in facing this situation. Cats can easily transmit viruses between each other, especially if they're in close contact.



Most cat viruses are self-limiting, meaning they'll resolve with time and supportive care. Keep providing Cat B with a warm, comfortable space to rest and ensure both cats have access to plenty of fresh water and nutritious food. You might notice reduced appetite, sneezing, or lethargy, all of which are common signs.



For at-home care, consider using a humidifier in the room to help ease any respiratory symptoms. Keep stress low by maintaining a calm environment. Ensure they're both eating and drinking—give tempting foods if needed.



Watch out for signs that the virus is becoming something more serious, like difficulty breathing, refusal to eat or drink for more than 24 hours, or severe lethargy. These would warrant a prompt check-in with your vet.



If symptoms persist or you're noticing these concerning signs, it may be useful to book a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet for more tailored advice. Keep up the great work caring for your cats!
