This article practically brings tears to my eyes.
As many know, I am a huge advocate for FIV+ cats, but there’s another virus out there sometimes confused for FIV that causes a disease known as FIP.
FIP stands for Feline Infectious Peritonitis and it is nearly 100% fatal in all cats who develop it. FIP develops when the feline coronavirus mutates. There have been amazing developments in researching treatments for FIP but none are approved for use by veterinarians. YET!
In the early months of Covid, I had hoped that research around a mutating human coronavirus might fast track things for cats with FIP too.
Check out the article below. I am so happy there are trials happening. There needs to be approved treatments for cats who are diagnosed with FIP and this is a GREAT step in the right direction. 😻
