In reply to Cat. Hi Cat. For legal reasons I can’t give individual doses without inspecting an animal. I’m really sorry. It sounds like the care you’re getting is quite standard though.

Hi Andrew please reply this is urgent –

My kitten currently has a fist size mass in his abdomen, jaundice, and was breathing through his mouth. 150 mL of yellow fluid was extracted from his chest. His belly also distended a bit. I was told that he has both wet and dry FIP, I know you mentioned that this is not uncommon but would the dosage for Remdesivir be according to the wet or dry FIP? He was doing okay the past couple of days – he eats a bit, seems happy but after his third injection he seemed really tired and can barely open his eyes. His third eye is visible and its a translucent yellow colour. Is it normal to have ‘bad days’ sometimes? His urine is also very bright yellow. He is currently prescribed 10mg/kg. He is breathing ok now after extracted fluid.

In reply to Kelly Charif. Hi Kelly. There is no consensus on these most difficult of cases, and some vets are using very high doses. Each is assessed individually I'm afraid.

In reply to Andrew. What dosage would you recommend for a 4.5 lb kitty with the neurological form of FIP? Thank you

In reply to kittenknit. Hi kittenknit. FIP is caused by a virus rather than an immune disorder.

In reply to Angel. How can it be good for a cat with an immune disorder to be pregnant, deliver, and nurse?

My 9 year old cat became ill and after blood work was done it was determined that she probably has FIP. Her globulin levels were high. She was anemic and had a fever. She had normal levels of everything else. I did the 84 day treatment of Aino(alleged gs-441524) via black market. 29 vials. Almost immediately she started getting better and gaining weight. She is one week into her 84 day observation. And still doing very well. It’s sad to watch your animal get sick. I was fortunate to find the Facebook group that helped me all along the way. I don’t know what was in those vials, all I know is, it works.

In reply to Professor Dr.Mohammed Habibur Rahman. Hi Mohammed. Being reasonably familiar with the scientific literature, I am unaware of any human health implications. Testing has also been extensively researched but it remains a great problem to diagnose the disease antemortem in most cats. Speaking as vets who are unlucky enough to see this disease regularly, in the majority that we see, we make the diagnosis using our experience as much as laboratory testing. Treatment as outlined in this and the linked articles is very successful, but quite expensive. Good luck and feel free to get in touch to share notes.

Recently, I’m having a surge of FIP in my feline patients and consistently falling to help them. At my place, initially it starts with mild constipation and affected cats goes off the feed. I try with all kinds of both short and long acting antibiotics and DNS. Unfortunately, they die. On postmortem examination the peritoneal cavity accumulates yellow fluid. It takes 5-10 days to die once the disease starts. My observation is: in Dhaka, Bangladesh FIP mortality is 100%. Some times it confuses me with those of FPL. I’m not certain if it is communicable to the humans and has had any zoonotic importance. Thus, looking forward to work with other laboratories to diagnose this disease before it goes out of control. Regards.

In reply to Angel. Hi Angel. I’m not sure what other vets think, but my opinion is that there is no ethical problem with breeding a cat who has recovered from FIP, as the condition is not genetic.
