A study to carried out to identify the risk factors associated with Feline panleukepenia of cats in Shahedul Alam Quadary teaching Veterinary Hospital (SAQTVH), Chattogram Veterinary & Animal Sciences University (CVASU) and Teaching and Training pet hospital and research center (TPHRC), Dhaka. Data were collected from both SAQTVH and TTPHRC from January 2022 to March 2022. After gathering clinico-epidemiological data, entering into Microsoft Excel 2016, and analyzing with STATA-14 software, the elaborative as well as univariable statistical analysis revealed that Vaccination status and exotic breed is the main risk factor for Feline Panleukepenia in SAQTVH and TTPHRC. Approximately 65% of unvaccinated cats have Feline panleukepenia (Table 1). Exotic breeds account for approximately 70% of Feline panleukepenia cases (Table 1). More risk factor for Feline panleukepenia were local breed, Gender, Age, vaccination status. Antibiotics, fluid therapy, and supportive drugs were frequently used to treat cases of feline panleukopenia. The study's implementation is that maintaining proper vaccination and body condition, as well as intensive health care kittens, can reduce the occurrence of diseases. Infected cats should be treated right away with intravenous fluid therapy, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and pain relievers.
