Abyssinian in Crisis: How One Cat’s Mysterious Illness and an Unconventional Therapy Transformed a Family — A Physician-Patient Case Report
One of my favorite cancer patients shared her increasing anxiety over Pearl, her new Abyssinian cat that was dying of viral infections. An offhand suggestion led to a complete recovery.
This is the third report in a growing series of cases successfully treated with chlorine dioxide therapy. The first two were of my own personal illnesses (infectious colitis and paronychial abscess), and this third one is of… a cat named Pearl.
The following case report is co-authored by me and my patient, who has requested anonymity (I will refer to her as Laura).
In a recent follow-up visit with Laura, whom I treat for the prevention of recurrence of breast cancer (which she has had 4 separate times), one of the many topics we covered was her glowing update on the condition of her cat Pearl. Meet Pearl:

Title
Clinical Report: A Case of Persistent Feline Calicivirus and Mycoplasma felis Infection in an Abyssinian Kitten and the Use of Chlorine Dioxide (MMS) Therapy
Abstract
We report the clinical course and management of a blue-ticked Abyssinian kitten (“Pearl”) presenting with chronic gastrointestinal, respiratory, and ocular disease following adoption from a multiple-cat household and a recent vaccination for FVRCP. Diagnostic workup established infections with Feline Calicivirus and Mycoplasma felis. Despite conventional therapy, the patient’s symptoms persisted. Off-label use of chlorine dioxide (MMS) was initiated by the parents, along with nutritional support and adjunct therapies. Clinical improvements were observed, including resolution of gastrointestinal symptoms and improved activity. This case highlights the complex interplay between vaccination, pathogen persistence, and adjunctive therapies in feline medicine.
Clinical Outcome
Within days of initiating MMS and supportive nutrition, Pearl demonstrated improved appetite, resolution of diarrhea and vomiting, normalization of respiratory effort, and increased mobility. No serious adverse effects were reported, save for transient gastrointestinal upset during dosage increases (interpreted as Herxheimer reaction by parents). By ten months, Pearl exhibited vigorous activity and weight gain (7 lbs 10 oz), with persistent ocular sight impairment but otherwise full return to health. Co-housed littermate Clio remained asymptomatic following similar supportive care. (See link for full article)

**COMMENT**
Cats AND humans can be infected with Mycoplasma felis, the smallest known organism capable of free existence that does not possess a cell wall. It can cause pneumonia, UT issues, conjunctivitis, bite wound abscesses, and other diseases. Mycoplasma can cause mycoplasmosis, which can lead to inflammation of several joints, such as knees, ankles, hips, or shoulders. Other symptoms include long-term lethargy, difficulty moving, fever, discomfort, and respiratory issues like sneezing and coughing.
Antibiotic treatment for mycoplasma infections can last a long time, so it is important to remain patient and follow the veterinarian’s or doctor’s instructions. Source
