Yes.
No.
No, unless something changes to put them at risk. CHOOSE THIS ONE.
23
FeLV Stage 4 Regressive: Clinical Signs
MOST cats not viremic, not shedding virus, not contagious, ELISA negative
All of these
A FEW cats persistently viremic, shedding virus, contagious, Elisa positive
NO CLINICAL SIGNS
24

False
True
25
What is NOT true about the feline panleukopenia virus (FPV) vaccine?
A kitten's total # of FPV vaccines depends on age when vaccination begins
Not considered a core vaccine.

FeLV stage 4: cat permanently infected
Regressive stage 4 = cat asymptomatic, not shedding virus, NOT CONTAGIOUS
stage 4 regressive = virus remains latent in bone marrow
stage 4 progressive = infection proceeds to stage 5 and 6
All of these plus stage 4 regressive = weeks, months or REST OF CATS LIFE

ocular/nasal discharge; viral = watery; bacterial = opaque yellow green
sneezing, conjunctivitis (hyperemia, chemosis)
36
FeLV Diagnosis: ELISA test - What does a positive mean?
A positive result can mean ANY of these – CAN’T TELL WHICH!
Regressive Stage 4 with persistent viremia (not common)
Stages 2 & 3 (initial viremia)
Progressive phase: Stages 5 & 6 (late-stage viremia)
37
Recrudesence is recurrence of clincial signs in chronic carriers of feline URI, caused by stress or immunosuppresion.
True
False
38
Viruses cause 90% of feline URI.
False
True
39
If an owner declines ELISA test but wants to vax their cat should you let them & what education should you provide?
If cat is positive with non-protective vax & goes outside = spread disease
If positive & vax without test, vax will give no protection.
Both of these things, and yes vaccinate the cat anyway.
40
What cats are recommended to receive FeLV vaccine?
Cats that go outdoors
All kittens due to high susceptibility.
All of these, plus Vaccination led to a big decline in cases inpast 30 yrs
FeLV-negative cats living with FeLV-positive housemates
41
FeLV Prognosis: Which is NOT true?
Owner education: Fatal disease will occur. Monitor for any signs ofillness
Cat can be outdoors without posing a risk to itself or other cats.
During asymptomatic/regressive phase: Can have very good quality of life!
Confirmed positive: POOR long-term prognosis. Virtually 100% mortality
42
Most cats that recover from feline calicivirus become chronic carriers and....
all of these.
have intermittent recurring URI signs
some cats have chronic gingivitis/stomitis
shed virus continually
43
Feline panleukopenia > destroys intestinal epithelium, breaks down GI mucosa barrier > bacterial translocation > sepsis
False
True
44
FeLV positive, asymptomatic which is NOT true.
Separate from other negative cats, OR vaccinate other cats for reduced risk
Keep the cat indoors because positive cats are viremic, thus contagious
Rapid treatment required.
Monitor for FeLV associated disease.
45

feline distemper virus (FDV)
feline parvovirus (FPV)
canine distemper virus (CDV)
canine parvo virus (CPV)

Ataxia and wide legged stance
+/- impaired vison or blindness
Tremors and hypermetria
abnormal mentation
47
What cats are most susceptible to Feline URI (upper respiratory infection)?
only kittens
only immunocompromised cats
only elderly cats
kittens most susceptible, but cats at any age
48
Never pity a CH kitty. They can have good quality of life, should live indoors with humans who understand their needs.
False
True
49
FeLV stages 2 and 3
viremia = contagious plus all these other things also
Effective immune response = NO DISEASE
Primary viremia and viral amplification
Ineffective immune response = infection moves to stage 4
50
What is the C in the FVRCP vaccine for cats?
corn on the cob
chips and salsa
(feline) calicivirus
corndogs
51
Different tests detect different stages of FeLV infection. No one best test.
True
False
52
Feline panleukopenia is closely related to canine parvo?
False
True
53
What is true about susceptibility to feline leukemia (FeLV)?
kittens are most susceptible
cats >8 months develop some natural immunity but still need vaccination
intact males are at high risk due to fighting
all of these plus outdoor cats, stray/feral cats, and any cats that fight.
54
FeLV stage 1
Viral replication in lymphoid tissue
Rapid and effective immune response = virus elminated, NO DISEASE
All of these
Inneffective immune response = virus proceeds to step 2
55
FeLV Diagnosis: ELISA test - What does a negative mean?
Stage 1 (prior to viremia)
True negative (never infected, OR infected & eliminated virus)
ANY of these – CAN’T TELL WHICH but the cat is NOT contagious
Regressive Stage 4 with NO VIREMIA
56
FeLV horizontal transmission
donor cats for blood transfusions must test FeLV negative
bite wounds = high risk
all of these
oronasal contact with saliva - mutual grooming, shared bowls = low risk
57
The 2 viruses that cause 90% of feline URI cases are feline herpres virus-1 and feline calicivirus.
False
True
58
Which tissues are NOT targeted by viremia from feline panleukopenia?
intestinal mucosa
bone marrow
pia mater
lymphoid
59
Why should all sick cats be tested for FeLV even if previously negative?
To generate income for the practice.
To keep busy.
Because doing tests is fun.
Cat may have converted from Stage 4 regressive to Stage 4 progressive.
60
What cats are at higher risk for complications (pneumonia, permanentocular damage, etc).
Elderly cats
Immunocompromised cats
Neonates
All of these cats
61
Prognosis for virulent systemic feline calicivirus (VS-FCR) is guarded or poor.
True
False
62

Feline viral rhinotracheitis; feline hepatitis
Feline viral rhinotracheitis; feline hantavirus
Feline viral rhinotracheitis; feline herpes virus-1
Feline viral rhinotracheitis; feline habronemiasis
63
Treatment for FeLV associated disease depends on which disease is present.
False
True
64
FeLV stage 4: virus in bone marrow cells
provirus inserts itself into cats DNA and into the genome permanently
Provirus in the DNA is protected from immune system.
virus in bone marrow cells, converts from RNA to DNA, now called provirus
All of these plus CAT NOW PERMANENTLY INFECTED
65
What are important nursing care considerations for feline URI.
Keep eyes/nose clear of discharge
Keep neonates warm, hydrated and euglycemic
All of these plus steamy bathroom x 10-15 min q 12-24 hr for nasal congest
Address inappetance/anorexia (warm food, syringe feed, rarely feeding tube)
66
Which is NOT a general strategy for preventing feline URI?
teach cats to surf
good nutrition
reduce stress
avoid overcrowding
67
Which is true regarding treatment for feline URI?
Systemic topical antibiotics for primary or secondary bacterial infection.
All of these are true.
Hospitalized patients must be strictly quarantined.
Antivirals for severe or chronic cases.
68
FeLV Stage 5 = infected bone marrow cells released into bloodstream
False
True
69
FeLV associated disease
Neoplasia: lymphoma, leukemia, other cancers
Both plus MANY other disease syndromes possible!
Hematologic: Suppress of normal bone marrow function (anemia, pancytopenia)
70
Feline panleukopenia can cause optic nerve damage in kittens
True
False
71
Which is NOT true of feline panleukopenia?
Acute disease = severe decrease in ONLY one type of WBC on CBC
Peracute disease: fading kitten syndrome, can cause death in hours
Acute disease = general: fever, lethargy, anorexia, GI: vomiting lethargy
positive dx via in house fecal ELISA antigen test; negative result sketchy
72
Feline Panleukopenia: pathophysiology
Survives outside for months, include freezing
Most household disinfectants won't kill it
All of these, plus it is ubiquitous aka basically everywhere
It lives on organic material that can't be disinfected
73
Feline panleukopenia treatment & prognosis - What is NOT true?
Hospitalization strongly recommended including strict isolation
Peracute disease: almost 100% survival rate
Acute disease: Guarded/poor prognosis even with treatment 10-50% survival
Supportive care = goal until effective immune response
74
Feline leukemia (FeLV) pathophysiology: What is NOT true?
caused by feline leukemia virus, a retrovirus
virus VERY sturdy in the environment, can live for years
highest levels of virus found in saliva, so fighting/bites = big risk
transmission via saliva of infected cat actively shedding virus
75
Why should ELISA test positive never be a "death sentence?"
Cat could enter stage 4 and stay regressive.
Cat could still eliminate infection if Stage 2 or 3.
Both of these, plus re-test in 1-3 months to confirm +/- different test.
76
Adult unvaccinated FeLV-negativecat living in same household asFeLV-positive cat: 10-15% chanceof infection
True
False
