A five -month-old Persian cat was presented to the Veterinary clinical complex, College of Veterinary Science, Rajendranagar with the history of inappetence, vomiting and diarrhoea. Clinical examination of the cat revealed dullness, depression, dehydrated, pale mucous membranes and fever (104.2 °F). Blood samples were collected for complete blood picture revealed leukopenia, neutropenia, lymphopenia and anaemia. Investigations with the FPV kit test showed positive results for the FPV virus, which was further confirmed by qRT PCR.
