What Is Cat Scratch Fever?
4. CSD Complications: Cats
Cats with CSD rarely demonstrate any signs of the illness. However, the potential for complications does exist. The primary issue is inflammation of the body’s organs. The most serious possibility is heart inflammation. This can lead to difficulty breathing and a weakened system due to the heart’s labored efforts to pump blood to the body.
In addition to the heart, other organs may also become inflamed. There is the potential for the infection to settle in the eyes, mouth or urinary tract. While the possibility exists for all of these complications, it’s important to keep in mind that they are rare.
