How is Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) in cats treated?
Before 2019, there wasn’t an effective treatment for FIP. Thankfully, that has changed. Antiviral medications are now available and have shown excellent results. These drugs are legal in many countries and proven safe and effective through clinical studies, though they can be expensive.
The current recommendation is to treat FIP for 12 weeks to ensure full recovery. While this might seem long, it gives cats the best chance of overcoming the disease. Different types of FIP require different dosages, especially if neurological or ocular signs are present. Since cats respond differently, dosage adjustments may be needed. If a cat isn’t responding as expected, the dosage might need to be increased.
