Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a severe and often fatal disease caused by a feline coronavirus. While many cats may carry the virus without symptoms, a mutation can lead to FIP, which triggers serious inflammation in various organs, including the abdomen, kidneys, and brain.
The disease has two forms:
- Wet (Effusive) FIP: Causes fluid buildup in the abdomen and chest, leading to breathing difficulties.
- Dry (Non-Effusive) FIP: Leads to inflammatory lesions in organs like the liver, kidneys, eyes, and brain.
Symptoms can include persistent fever, weight loss, lethargy, and neurological issues. Without treatment, FIP is almost always fatal, though recent advancements have led to experimental therapies.
