Feline Panleukopenia Virus in Cats. Feline Panleukopenia virus (FPV), also commonly referred to as feline distemper, is a highly contagious and life-threatening viral disease in the cat population. This virus affects the rapidly dividing blood cells in the body, primarily the cells in the intestinal tract, bone marrow, and in the stem cells of the developing fetus.
Canine distemper is sometimes also called âhard pad diseaseâ because certain strains of the virus can cause an abnormal enlargement or thickening of the pads of an animalâs feet. In dogs or animals with weak immune systems, death may result two to five weeks after the initial infection.anine distemper is a contagious and serious viral illness with no known cure. The disease affects dogs, and certain species of wildlife, such as raccoons, wolves, foxes, and skunks.
