Case Report

Group G Streptococcal Toxic Shock-Like Syndrome in Three Cats

Mylène Taillefer, DVM and Marilyn Dunn, DVM, MVSc, Diplomate ACVIM

From the Small Animal Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Montreal, 3200, Sicotte Street, C.P. 5000, Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, Canada J2S 7C6.

Three 8-week-old kittens were presented with a history of acute, generalized weakness and severe fever. One cat was dead upon presentation, and necropsy findings were supportive of a group G Streptococcus spp. septicemia. During their clinical courses, two of the three kittens developed a progressive, marked swelling of one or more limbs. One moribund and severely hypothermic cat was euthanized a few hours after presentation, and necropsy was also supportive of a group G Streptococcus spp. septicemia. One kitten recovered. Group G streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome was suspected because of the fulminant progression of the septicemia.
