Stear, D.V.M. When Cats Catch Colds Cats are as susceptible as their owners to viruses that cause respiratory distress. Unfortunately, cats rarely escape with the feline equivalent of the "common cold " They more often develop the fever, sneezing, and runny nose that signal a major problem for the pet owner Cats are infected when tiny virus particles floating through the air enter the mouth or nose and grow on the cells lining the nasal passages These viruses become firmly entrenched in the cat's respiratory system, causing symptoms lasting a few days or weeks to as long as two years There are also cases where an apparently healthy pet carried a hidden virus in­ fection but resisted it until the pet was subjected to crowded living conditions, poor diet or a similar stressful situation Feline respiratory disease is especially severe in catteries or humane shelters where the Bv Robert L. Stear, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories infection can move swiftly from animal to animal. Some professional breeders have seen as many as 45 percent of their animals affected at one time. Cats kept in private households are not affected quite so often since their op­ portunities for reinfection are fewer. In cats, respiratory disease is a "complex"--a condition that can be caused by at least three different viruses and one parasitic organism. Sometimes these agents work in com­ bination and so weaken the cat that it becomes susceptible to additional bacterial diseases. The organism that causes most feline respiratory disease is a herpes virus Cats do not seem to develop any long term immunity to this virus, and can carry the infection long after their symptoms have disap­ peared. Although mortality is low in mature cats, most of which recover completely, the virus is devastating to young kittens Many die. and sur­ vivors can be stunted for life. Vaccines that will protect your cat or kitten from respiratory disease have been perfected in the last five years, and are now widely available from veterinarians across the country. Some products are given as nose drops, others are injected. One vaccination a year is sufficient for most cats, although an occasional animal may require two treatments a year for complete protection. It is especially important to protect kittens, as the5 tem­ porary protection they receive from nursing a vaccinated mother does disappear. Breeders often begin inoculating kittens at five weeks of age and repeat the treatment until they are certain the kittens have established their own immunity, usually at about twelve weeks. If you fail to vaccinate your cat. be aware that cats with colds have special problems. Often they become dehydrated and develop painful mouth ulcers When this happens, the cat refuses to eat, becomes depressed and highly- susceptible to pneumonia. Your pet may also lose a lot of weight. Treatment consists of an­ tibiotics. medicated ointments and fluids from your veterinarian, plus tempting bits of food and comfort from you During and after treat ment, the convalescing pet should be protected from all types of physical stress. Defend Corn Set-Aside The goal of the 1979 Set-Aside program is to secure a fair return to farmers from the market place, according to William L. ODaniel, state executive director of ASCS. Taxpayers all over the nation are expressing their dissatisfaction vocally and at the polls. Inflation and the energy crisis should be the concern of every citizen of ttoe United States. The 1979 farm program offers the agricultural producer an opportunity to contribute his share O Daniel stated the fact that present corn prices are stronger than in 1977 and may be largely attributed to the corn held in the ASCS reserve or on the farms in bins purchased taking advantage of ASCS facility loans In addition, the Administration has been en­ deavoring to increase exports with much success, evidenced by the results of the secretary's visit to China Critics of the 1979 program As the " "cold season" progresses, keep in mind that vaccination against feline respiratory problems is much easier than treatment and so much better for the health of your pet iDr Stear regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. complain that the payment per acre for land taken out of production has been cut in half. O'Daniel said they fail to take into account the increase in the target price for corn to $2.20. The 1978 target price is $2.10. Producers participating in the 1979 program are guaranteed a payment equaling the dif­ ference between the higher of the $2 loan rate or the five- month average market price and the $2.20 target price. Therefore, if a producer par­ ticipates at the 20 percent level, and the market price falls below $2.20, he will receive a deficiency payment plus 10 cents a bushel for a voluntary diversion payment, giving him an incentive of $2.30, the same as for 1978. This would compare with the market price for corn in 1976. In addition, the participating farmer is eligible for price support and facility loans, participation in the reserve, and disaster payments.
