It is mycoplasma felis, which is a disease renamed from haemobartonella felis recently, thus the difficulty in finding information.
The disease does lead to a carrier state in which the cat is permanently infected by the disease. Treating a cat during the acute phase of infection will kill most of the disease but there is always some left over that the antibiotic cannot reach.
Although treatment with doxycycline or enrofloxacin may control acute infections in the cat, none of the antibiotics tested to date consistently clear the parasites permanently from the animal, resulting in a chronic carrier state.
Hello and thanks for answering my question.
As a carrier, would my stud be able to pass the infection along to the females, or the females to their kittens? How is the infection spread? Should I be altering and rehoming anyone tested positive for it?
Thanks again for the help!
