Kittens with FeLV will be immuno-compromised, so they will be more prone to infections and diseases. The virus is comparable with the effects of FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), which also weakens the immune system. In the beginning, the kitten will display no symptoms.
Ammonia or azane is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. The simplest pnictogen hydride, ammonia is a colourless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. It contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to food and fertilizers.
Ammonia is a product of the metabolism of proteins and other compounds, and it is required for the synthesis of essential cellular compounds. However, a 5- to 10-fold increase in ammonia in the blood induces toxic effects in most animal species, with alterations in the function of the central nervous system. Both acute and chronic hyperammonemia result in alterations of the neurotransmitter system.
