In this film for veterinary surgeons, I explain how antiviral drug resistance occurs in feline coronavirus infection: it is NOT due to early treatment, but instead it is due to treating with too low a dose of antiviral drug, and to using injections instead of pills. Pills get right to where the virus replicates: in the intestines, whereas injections may appear to heal feline infectious peritonitis temporarily, they predispose to a relapse, especially a neurological relapse if a low dose has permitted virus to persist in the brain.
Key messages:
1. do NOT use injections to treat FIP: use pills.
2. start treatment with a high dose of antiviral (exact dose will depend upon what you're using).
