Abstract
Out of the 34 cats diagnosed with feline panleukopenia, mortality occurred in 19 (55.88 per cent) cats while 15 (44.12) cats responded to therapy. Mortality rate was higher in cats that showed clinical signs of hypothermia, vomiting, dysentery and dehydration. Vomiting which became apparent after resolution of pyrexia was the preliminary sign in cases which terminated with the development of severe dehydration and hypothermia leading to shock, lateral recumbency and death.
