Abstract

This article introduces a novel approach to treating feline panleukopenia, a highly contagious and life-threatening disease in cats. Instead of relying solely on traditional supportive care such as fluid therapy, antiemetics, and antibiotics, this study explores the use of filgrastim, a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, to improve survival rates in cats suffering from severe leukopenia and neutropenia. The case report documents the successful treatment of five domestic cats with feline panleukopenia using filgrastim in conjunction with other forms of supportive care. This promising treatment protocol has the potential to significantly improve the prognosis for cats diagnosed with this devastating illness.
