How to protect my kitten from panleukopenia after litter box exposure?

Question

I want to ask something. So there's someone who threw away a kitten in front of my house. She is 2-3 months old and she has severe case of worms, fleas, malnutrition, and dehydration. I've already got her checked. Now, her diarrhea had stopped, although she is still so thin. But then my friend returned my litter box today and 4 hours after that I heard that there were panleukopenia outbreak in her house. I've dissinfected the tray with bleach. How do I make sure it doesn't infect my kitty? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 25 days old | 1.2 lbs

Oh goodness that is concerning. You said you had her checked out. Hopefully she was vaccinated at that time as well, if not then she should be vaccinated immediately . Panleukopenia is included in the core feline vaccines. She should be boostered 3-4 weeks after the first vaccine and then again until she is about 16 weeks old. I am glad you disinfected it, hopefully she was not exposed. There is not much else you can do. Best of luck and I hope she does well. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
