What you need to know about FIP disease

FIP disease (Feline infectious peritonitis) means infectious peritonitis of cats. FIP disease in cats is a potentially fatal disease that occurs as a result of the mutation of the feline coronavirus (FCoV).

FCoV is a virus that is common in cats and usually has mild symptoms. However, in some cats the virus can mutate and cause FIP disease.

FIP disease is transmitted from cat to cat through contact and feces. The disease can be transmitted by exposure to the virus through the mouth and nose of cats that come into contact with the feces of an infected cat. Diagnosis of FIP disease in cats can be made by blood tests performed by a veterinarian and imaging tests such as ultrasound or x-ray.

FIP disease occurs in two main forms: wet and dry.

Wet FIP is characterized by fluid accumulation in the abdominal and chest cavity. This fluid buildup can cause swelling in the cat's belly, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms.

Dry FIP is characterized by the formation of nodules in internal organs. These nodules can cause damage to various organs of the cat.

In order to protect our cats from FIP disease; first of all, it is necessary to prevent contact with other cats and other cat feces, which are ways of transmission. Additionally, you should not forget to use our product supplement Animallas FP Plus , which strengthens the cat's immune system.
