I am not sure if you mean to prevent other cats from getting sick or your cat from getting worse. I would recommend vaccinating all cats That come in contact with the sick cat. They should have 1 vaccine and than boostered 3-4 weeks later. Unfortunately for the sick cat panleukopenia is fatal. You can try supportive measures like iv fluids , antibiotics, probiotics and even a blood transfusion depending on illness level of the cat.
