Q1. How long does FPV last?
A1. An infected cat tends to shed the virus for a relatively short period of time (1-2 days), but the virus can survive for up to a year in the environment, so cats may become infected without ever coming into direct contact with an infected cat.
Q2. How do you test for FPV?
A2. The vet may take blood and faecal samples from a sick cat and send them to a veterinary laboratory that will look for signs of the virus and antibodies. If the cat has already died, the vet can send samples of the intestines which can also be tested for the virus.
Q3. Can FPV be treated?
A3. No specific treatment is available for FPV infection and it is vital that any suspected cases are nursed in isolation as this is a highly contagious disease.
Q4. How long does FPV live on surfaces?
A4. As noted above, FPV can remain viable for months to years, especially in a dark, moist environment. Happily there are products now available that reliably inactivate FPV even on porous or unsealed surfaces. Bleach has long been a standby product for inactivating FPV.
Q5. How do you clean FPV virus?
A5. However, FPV can be destroyed by exposure to a 1:32 dilution of household bleach (6% aqueous sodium hypochlorite) for 10 minutes or more at room temperature.
