Cat FIP GS Treatment 5.5mL 20mg/mL GS441524 CAS 1191237-69-0
What is FIP?
Nervous feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a serious disease caused by the mutation of common intestinal coronavirus (FeCoV) in cats. This mutation makes the originally insignificant virus enter the intestinal macrophages (an immune system cell) and hitchhike to other parts of the body, infecting the abdominal cavity, chest cavity, eyes, and in some cases the brain, thus entering the gastrointestinal tract. Usually, the immune system of cats will prevent clinical FIP, but in some cats infected with FeCoV, the immune system cannot eliminate the infection, and clinical FIP will have devastating consequences.
Although the relatively harmless intestinal coronavirus (FeCoV) is highly transmitted among cats, the mutant FIP itself will not infect other cats. Cat coronavirus is different from the human coronavirus that causes 2019 coronavirus disease.
Clinical signs of FIP
Cats with clinical FIP will have a series of clinical symptoms, such as:
-Fever unresponsive to antibiotics
-Peritoneal and / or pleural effusion
-Palpable abdominal lymphadenopathy
-Changes in pupil symmetry or eye color
-Neurological symptoms (brain infection)
Clinical symptoms depend on whether the cat has exudative or "wet" FIP or non exudative or "dry" FIP, although there is usually a combination of wet and dry type, known as "wet dry mixed" FIP.
Dry FIP is usually more difficult to diagnose because there is no obvious fluid filled body cavity for sampling, but pyoblastoma is formed in the focus (such as intestine or kidney) or multiple sites (such as abdominal cavity and brain).
