Frequently asked questions
Is FIP contagious to other cats in the household?
FIP itself is not contagious, but the underlying feline coronavirus can spread between cats, usually through shared litter trays.
What are the different types of FIP?
The main forms are wet (effusive), dry (non-effusive), neurological, and ocular FIP. Some cats may show overlapping forms.
How is FIP diagnosed, and is there a definitive test?
There is no single definitive test. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs, blood tests, imaging, and ruling out other diseases.
What is the duration of FIP treatments
We recommend a treatment duration of 84 days. This timeframe is not arbitrary; it aligns with the known replication cycle of the FIP virus.
However, individual cases may require a shorter or longer course depending on disease severity and response to treatment. Always consult your veterinarian to determine the appropriate treatment duration based on your cat’s symptoms, progress, and recovery.
What treatments are currently used for FIP?
GS-441524 (the gold standard) antiviral medications that arrest FIP viral replication. EIDD-1931 mutagenic antiviral medication that modify the viral replication process, make mutated virus harmless. Both medications should be used under veterinary guidance.
Can treatment duration be shorter or longer than 84 days?
Yes. Treatment length may be adjusted based on disease severity and response to therapy.
Can I start treatment before a confirmed diagnosis?
In severe cases, treatment may begin based on strong clinical suspicion, before the test results returns. In severe cases, cats only have a few days to live. Immediate treatment is critical to cat's survival. GS-441524 injectables are often used as an affordable and effective FIP diagnostic tool.
