Abstract

The feline respiratory disease complex (CDRF) is a relevant infectious contagious disease with high morbidity that may be caused by various pathogens, which mainly affects the upper respiratory and ophthalmic tracts and may, in later stages, cause complications in the lower respiratory tract. Clinical signs include inappetence, apathy, respiratory, ocular and / or buccal symptoms, and may lead to death if severe proportions are reached. This paper presents a case report of a feline clinically diagnosed with the aforementioned condition.
