We lost a kitten to FIP about a year ago. We made a vet appointment for him as soon as he showed signs of being ill but he went downhill so fast by the time we could get him in it was too late for treatment, he died that evening shortly after we got home from the vet. I would certainly love to see better and faster diagnosis of FIP.

It’s interesting you said the virus potentially mutates if it gets out of the intestinal tract. Our little kitty started having diarrhea several months ago with blood present in the stool. Emergency vet found she was infected with roundworms. She was treated for that and started getting better for a while but then started having severe diarrhea with blood and mucus. She has since been diagnosed with probable FIP. So I’m wondering if maybe the roundworms caused lesions in her intestinal tract which allowed the benign virus to enter her bloodstream and mutate??

On June 4, 2024, I lost my 3.5-year-old male cat, Haruru Bubble Granger, to Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). He was a fully vaccinated and neutered indoor cat. During his life, Haruru only got sick once, likely due to stress after a stay at a pet hotel. Early on Thursday morning, May 30th, around 1:00 AM, I noticed he had diarrhea. His stool was yellow and much mushier than usual. He typically had dark brown, firm stool that wouldn't break apart easily when cleaning. A few hours later, at around 11:45 AM, he had another loose, yellow bowel movement. Shortly after (around 10 minutes later), he vomited a large amount of yellow liquid food and appeared weak. He had occasionally vomited a similar yellow liquid before, but never in such a significant quantity. Concerned, I took Haruru to the vet that same day. The vet initially diagnosed him with a general illness and dismissed my concern about panleukopenia (FPV) because he was vaccinated. The night after the first vet visit, Haruru's breathing became heavy and labored. He seemed uncomfortable and restless, searching for a different place to sleep. The next morning, May 31st, I gave him the prescribed medication (antibiotics and anti-emetics). He showed some interest in his wet food but refused his usual dry food. A few hours later (between 1-3 hours later), his breathing worsened and developed an unusual sound. Suspecting a respiratory issue, I rushed Haruru back to the vet and requested an x-ray. The x-ray results were normal, leaving the vet unsure of the cause. They recommended hospitalization for further observation and blood tests. The following day, Saturday, June 1st, there was no change in Haruru's symptoms. We requested a blood test, which was difficult to obtain because his blood clotted quickly. After the blood test, they performed another test involving a sample collected from his rectum. Minutes later, they confirmed FPV and suspected a "wet type" of FIP based on the blood test results. Knowing the severity of FPV, I inquired about Haruru's chances of survival. The vet was pessimistic, as they had not had any successful FIP treatments in their practice. We asked if there were any options, and they suggested trying GS-441524, a medication not readily available in my city due to its high cost. We were advised to look for it in another city. Throughout the weekend, Haruru's symptoms remained consistent, though his urine became increasingly yellow. We visited him daily, and despite his condition, his eyes remained bright, and he responded to us with his tail (he wasn't a very vocal cat). On Monday night, June 3rd, at 8:30 PM, the GS-441524 finally arrived, and Haruru received his first injection. Sadly, on Tuesday morning, June 4th, at 5:03 AM, Haruru passed away peacefully with his veterinarian by his side. Even though we knew his chances were slim, we remained optimistic, as some cat owners in Indonesia (our country) had shared stories of their cats surviving FPV and FIP. It's heartbreaking that we couldn't save him. The vet informed us that the FIP had already affected Haruru's vital organs, including his respiratory and digestive systems. We miss Haruru dearly. We'll always love you, our precious furbaby. We hope for more extensive research to develop better methods for early FIP detection and raise awareness, so more cats can survive this devastating illness.

Hi, I'm sorry for your loss. I have one cat with FIP too right now, We are doing medication with GS-441524, today is Day 26 . his condition is very irregular, sometimes the medication is going well, most of the time he have been being dimmed and sad. Our days are very heartbreaking to witness his condition. Hope always been put in top priority along with the medication, but we surrender to God's plan. We care about him so much though ! Sending hugs from here in Bekasi :)

My cat has FIP disease. He is now admitted to the vet hospital. there is still a chance that my cat can survive with the treatment of a vet doctor here in the Philippines. When I researched, they said there is no cure for FIP. Should I continue with the vet doctor's treatment for him or should I stop it because my bills at the vet hospital are also increasing. I feel sorry for my cat and i feel sad because there is no cure. I hope if there is survival with the vet doctor's treatment, I will continue admitting him. I still haven't lost hope that he will recover.

The drug from China is very effective for FIP, it's only not legal elsewhere because the companies don't want it to be used on cats since they wanna profit off humans and they are afraid it'll give the drug a bad name as a "animal drug" look up GS-441524. hope this is useful and not too late

Is FIP contagious to humans?

My dog was exposed to a cat that had fip. Do I need to be worried or is fip in cats only?

Thank you for viewing our video and for your inquiry. In checking in with some of our experts here at CVM, including Dr. Beth Licitra, she asked us to share this information with you. FIP is not believed to be transmissible. Feline coronavirus can be shared between cats (most don’t show symptoms, but a few may develop diarrhea or runny nose/eyes), but scientific evidence shows that FIP is not transmitted directly between cats so exposure to a cat with FIP puts your dog at no greater risk of developing FIP than exposure to any other cat. We wish you all the best. Sincerely, the FHC team
