It was found that a primary viral pathogen was feline panleukopenia parvovirus (FPLV; 28.5% of the positive rate) and the secondary was FCoV (10.7%). Commonly reported clinical signs of cats of which feces were FCoV-positive were vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration with an exception of one serious case with concurrent FPLV infection.
