Fight Wound Infections, Feline - contd.

Prognosis
The prognosis for a fight wound infection that properly is treated is excellent. However, cats that get into frequent fights are at high risk for contracting feline leukemia virus, feline immunodeficiency virus, and rabies, all of which are fatal.  There are vaccines that will help prevent FeLV and rabies, but there is currently no vaccine for FIV.
