This study comprehensively explores modern treatment methods and comprehensive management strategies for feline calicivirus (FCV). By systematically introducing the basic characteristics, epidemiology, and significance of FCV, the research aims and expectations are elucidated. It also provides a detailed analysis of the basic biology and pathology of FCV, including virus structure, genetic diversity, infection pathways, clinical manifestations, and pathological mechanisms. In terms of modern therapeutic methods, the study delves into antiviral treatments, supportive therapy, and treatment strategies for special cases. It focuses on the types and mechanisms of antiviral drugs, the importance of supportive treatment, and considerations for treatment in cases of chronic infection and multi-cat environments. The research showcases the treatment process and outcomes of FCV through a clinical case, thoroughly discussing preventive and comprehensive management strategies. This includes the types, effects, and limitations of vaccines, preventive measures, health management of cat populations, and the importance of educating pet owners.Finally, the study summarizes the current challenges faced in treating and managing FCV and anticipates possible future treatment strategies and health management systems. The goal is to provide valuable reference for veterinary practitioners, promoting a deeper understanding and effective treatment of FCV.
