Plain-English summary
A Bengal cat was brought to the vet because it was not eating, seemed weak, and was vomiting frequently. The cat had never been vaccinated and showed signs of infection, including a wound on its back and pus coming from its ears and nose. Tests confirmed it had feline calicivirus, which can cause serious health issues. Despite treatment to help with the symptoms, the cat unfortunately did not survive. Vaccination and good hygiene are important to prevent this virus in cats.
