What is Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)?

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral disease that occurs worldwide in cats. It is caused by a type of virus called a coronavirus, which tends to attack the cells of the intestinal wall.

What are the clinical symptoms of cat FIP?

FIP displays in a ”wet“ form and a ”dry“ form. Signs of both forms include fever that doesn‘t respond to antibiotics, anorexia, weight loss and lethargy. In addition, the wet form of FIP is most known for the accrual of fluid in the abdominal cavity, the chest cavity, or both. Cats with fluid in the chest experience labored breathing. Cats with fluid in the abdomen show increasing, nonpainful abdominal distension.

In the dry form of FIP, small buildups of inflammatory cells, or granulomas,form in various organs, and clinical signs depend on which organ is affected. The eyes and the neurologic system are frequently affected, as well.

TWO FORMS OF FIP

Effusive (wet) FIP

The hallmark clinical sign of effusive FIP is the accumulation of fluid within the abdomen or chest, which can cause breathing difficulties. Other symptoms include lack of appetite, fever, weight loss, jaundice and diarrhea.

Non-effusive (dry) FIP

Dry FIP will also present with lack of appetite, fever, jaundice, diarrhea, and weight loss, but there will not be an accumulation of fluid. Typically a cat with dry FIP will show ocular or neurological signs.

STAGES OF SYMPTOM

There are no symptoms unique to FIP. However, in either form of FIP, cats commonly show vague symptoms such as: loss of appetite, weight loss, lethargy, fluctuating fever that is not responsive to antibiotics.

Initial

Loss of appetite, Weight loss, Lethargy, Chest increased/tachypneic, Anemia, Fluctuating fever

Middle

Loss of appetite, Significant Weight loss, Lethargy, Chest increased/tachypneic, Malnutrition、Anemia, Jaundice, Fluctuating fever

Advanced

Loss of appetite, Significant Skinny, Lethargy, Chest increased/tachypneic, Malnutrition、Anemia, Jaundice, Fluctuating fever, Poor coordination, Inflammation of the eyes, Wobbliness

How is FIP Diagnosed?

Diagnosing FIP can be difficult. Despite the claims made by some, there is currently no test that can distinguish between the harmless intestinal coronavirus and the deadly FIP coronavirus. If a cat has what appears to be the wet form of the disease, laboratory analysis of some of the fluid can support a diagnosis of FIP.

What is Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS)?

Feline stomatitis, known as Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS), is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the superficial or deep tissues of the mucosa of the cat's mouth.

The disease is long-lasting, difficult to cure, and prone to recurrence. With a 13.1% probability of developing stomatitis, it is one of the most frequent diseases in cats (second only to dental calculus in prevalence). The exact cause of feline stomatitis is still unknown.

What is Chronic Kidney Disease, CKD (CKD)?

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the common diseases in cats and dogs, especially with age, and older cats and dogs are more likely to develop this disease.

It is important to note that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is different from chronic renal failure (CRF).

CKD refers to renal insufficiency, and most affected dogs and cats present with polyuria and polydipsia, weight loss, vomiting, and poor appetite, focusing on the persistent, irreversible nature of the disease.

What is Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)?

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is the causative agent of feline AIDS (FAIDS). In its natural state, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus can infect more than 20 species of cats, including domestic cats, wild cats, lions, tigers and leopards.

At this stage, FIV has become widespread worldwide, and even the infection rate of stray cats in individual countries is 100%.

Similar to HIV infection in humans, FIV does not cause specific clinical symptoms in the host at the beginning of the infection process, but the process of virus replication in the body gradually causes immunosuppression in the host, resulting in opportunistic infections including other viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc.

What is Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)?

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), a member of the subfamily of retroviral tumor-causing RNA viruses, contains single-stranded RNA that is transcribed by the action of reverse transcriptase into DNA, a provirus that integrates into the cellular genome of cats.

Globally about 5% of cats are infected with FeLV, and in some countries up to 20%.

The consequences of FeLV infection depend on the age and immune status of the cat, the concentration of the virus, the pathogenicity of the virus and the stress of the infection.

What is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) in cats , discovered decades ago, is a "long-standing" genetic disease. PKD is a clinically common chronic, progressive, genetic kidney disease characterized by uncontrolled growth of cysts in the kidneys and other organs that can lead to kidney failure.

Worldwide, it is not uncommon that approximately 6% of cats may be affected by polycystic kidney. The disease has a 50% chance of being passed on to the next generation. The median survival of cats with polycystic kidney is approximately 7 years.

Currently, there are no medications available for effective treatment or long term delay of PKD in cats, mainly supportive treatments such as blood pressure control, pain relief, treatment of urinary tract infections and kidney stones, etc. There is no specific approach.

What is Canine Atopic Dermatitis (CAD)?

Canine Atopic Dermatitis (CAD), also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic, refractory, relapsing, inflammatory skin disease that presents as moderate to severe in more than half of the affected dogs that present to the hospital; the main symptoms in these dogs are a large rash and intolerable, intense itching.

About 10% of dogs are susceptible to this disease, with a higher incidence in Dalmatians. Dogs usually show signs of atopic dermatitis between the ages of 3 months and 6 years.

In development. Stay tuned.
