Fellocell 4 is for vaccination of healthy cats as an aid in preventing feline viral rhinotracheitis (FVR) caused by feline herpesvirus - 1, feline respiratory disease caused by feline calicivirus (FCV), feline panleukopenia caused by feline parvovirus (FPV), and
feline chlamydiosis caused by Chlamydia psittaci.

If your bird is diagnosed
with chlamydiosis, make sure you work with your veterinarian to properly treat and control the disease.
Because all birds are potential carriers of infectious diseases, such
as Chlamydiosis, always wash your hands before and after handling your birds and / or habitat contents to help prevent the potential spread of diseases.
Some tests
for chlamydiosis need to be sent out to a laboratory, which means you may have to wait a few days for the results.
This virus shares symptoms with other feline viruses such as rhinotracheitis (differentiated from calicivirus by more sneezing, eye inflammation and discharge) and
chlamydiosis where in addition to some of the aforementioned symptoms your cat would also be suffering from conjunctivitis (red eyes).
The hallmark signs of chlamydial conjunctivitis is chemosis that begins unilaterally but becomes bilateral in 4 - 7 days.8 Another clinical sign described as being suggestive
of chlamydiosis is conjunctival lymphoid follicle formation.
The bird section addresses appropriate measures to ensure proper biosecurity in each facility, the need for proper perch size related to the size of the bird, and Psittacosis testing standards that follow the National Association of State Public Health Veterinarians (NASPHV), Compendium of Measures to Control Chlamydia psittaci Infection Among Humans (Psittacosis) and Pet Birds (
Avian Chlamydiosis), 2017.
With these symptoms it it obvious to me that she must have feline
chlamydiosis.
Vaccination helps to prevent serious infections such as rabies, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvovirosis in dogs; panleucopenia,
chlamydiosis, cat flu, feline leukaemia in cats or myxomatosis and haemorragic enteritis in rabbits, for example.
Chlamydiosis can be transmitted to humans by direct contact to cause typically conjunctivitis although this is rare.
FVRCP: Also known as Feline Distemper, requires a composite vaccine that protects against a set of viruses; Feline Panleukopenia (Feline Distemper), Feline viral Rinotracheitis, Feline Calicivirus and Feline
Chlamydiosis.
Other vaccines include Bordetella bronchiseptica (for kennel cough), Gardiasis, and
Chlamydiosis.
Your vet does some testing and tells you that he suspects that your bird has
chlamydiosis.
P —
Chlamydiosis (Chlamydia psittaci): This particular feline bacterium causes upper respiratory and ocular symptoms such as coughing, sneezing and conjunctivitis.
Chlamydophilosis, also called «psittacosis», «
chlamydiosis» or «Parrot Fever», is a reasonably common disease of birds.
Conjunctivitis in humans can be caused by contact with the nasal and ocular discharges of cats infected with feline
chlamydiosis.
FELINE
CHLAMYDIOSIS This infection is caused by the Chlamydia bacteria known as Chlamydophila felis.
Chlamydiosis is a bacterial infection which is the second most common cause of eye problems in cats.
Chlamydiosis, or Parrot Fever, a common cause of liver disease, may produce lime green droppings in some birds.
Chlamydiosis may be associated with upper respiratory disease in adolescent cats but is rarely clinically evident in adult cats.
