Frequently asked questions
Can Mycoplasma felis affect both the eyes and respiratory tract?
Yes. Mycoplasma felis may be linked to eye irritation, conjunctivitis, sneezing, nasal discharge and other upper respiratory signs.

Respiratory infections can spread more easily where cats live close together, such as shelters, catteries, breeding environments and multi cat households.
Can Mycoplasma felis occur with other respiratory infections?
Yes. Mycoplasma felis may occur alongside other respiratory pathogens, which can make symptoms overlap or appear more difficult to interpret.
