She Had To Be Treated For It
Toxoplasmosis is the name of the infection that commonly occurs in cats like Sheila. It must have happened because her immune system was not strong enough to ward off the disease. Her immune system had been degrading in the past years due to a lack of treatment. This condition also leads to anorexia, disorientation, lethargy, reduced coordination, swollen lymph nodes, and reduced coordination. It can even induce blindness in the sufferers! They had to act right away to save her life.
What It Can Do To Her
Toxoplasmosis can also spread to other body parts such as the brain, eye, and lung. This is true for both people and cats. It can stay in the body for a while. In humans, its symptoms include the flu, swollen lymph nodes, muscle aches, and similar common ailments. Luckily, it presents itself as pretty mild in most humans. As for Sheila, however, it was much more than a mild case.
