I work in a cattery with cats that are sick, is it possibe for me to pass it on to my cats, now they are sick?

Question

II have six kittenss at home. two of them are sneezing, one is sneezing and has diarrheaa. some eye goop.

Answer 1

Of course it's possible. You won't pass it to them directly but nasties could follow you home on your clothes, shoes, skin, etc. Many feline diseases are highly contagious and your kittens won't be safe until they have had all of their vaccinations.

It may not be a connection to the cattery but it's very likely and you don't want to take any chances. Kittens go downhill very fast. I would take them to a vet ASAP and get a handle on this before you lose any of them.

Good luck :)

Answer 2

Yes, you can pass on illnesses to your own cats.  You should change clothes and wash your hands when you come home from the cattery.  Right now you should take your kitties to the vet.

Answer 3

YES IT IS VERY POSSIBLE MY BOSS WHO I WORK FOR AT THE VET TOLD ME I MIGHT GET SICK FROM THE ANIMALS AND I CAN GIVE IT TO MY PETS U HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YU HYGIENE EVERYDAY AFTER WORK SO YU DONT SPREAD IT NOW UNLESS THEY'RE SICK U HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TAKING CARE OF THEM AND OF YOURSELF  

Answer 4

it is best if you get your cats in to the vet and get a round of antibiotics started, be sure your kittens are up to date with their shots, and wash your hands or better yet shower before you handle your babies

Answer 5

yes duh

Answer 6

Almost always no. I had a cat who was really sick when we got her as a kitten (upper respiratory infection), and it was never transmited by or to a human. For the most part, common feline ailments are not transmissible with humans. Many, and I mean MANY, kittens suffer from the exact same things your kittens have when they are young. Don't fret. Just consult a vet who sees this kind of thing every day and will prescribe medication if neccesary. Often an ointment you put on the cats eye, and liquid medication for the diarrhea. Good luck  and good question

Answer 7

you probabaly passed it on to them. try taking a shower right after work

Answer 8

Best you can do now if take them to the vets as soon as possible.

I dont think you can catch an illness and bring it to the cats but it could be possibe.

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

yes it is very possible and very probable, especially if your cats are not fully vaccinated. I volunteer at the local shelter and take care of the cats. you need to carry hand sanitizer and use one specific pair of shoes there and do not bring them in your house. you should also shower and wash your clothes when you get home, before you have any contact with your cats
