Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)
What is feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)? Feline infectious
peritonitis (FIP) is a disease caused by a coronavirus infection. Many
different strains of coronavirus are capable of infecting cats, but most do
not produce serious disease. FIP-producing strains are distinguished by
their ability to invade and grow in certain white blood cells. The infected
cells transport the virus throughout the cat's body. An intense inflammatory
reaction occurs in the tissues where these virus-infected cells locate. It
is this interaction between the body's own immune system and the virus that
is responsible for the disease.
Infected cats shed coronavirus in their saliva and feces. Most cats
become infected by inhaling or ingesting the virus, either by direct contact
with an infected cat, or by contact with virus-contaminated surfaces like
clothing, bedding, feeding bowls, or toys.
Although the virus can survive for a number of weeks in the
environment, it is rapidly inactivated by most household detergents and
disinfectants. An inexpensive and effective disinfectant is one part of
household bleach in thirty-two parts of water (4 ounces of bleach per gallon
of water).
Is FIP related to feline leukemia? FIP and feline leukemia are caused
by different viruses. Some cats that have FIP may also be infected by the
feline leukemia virus, but the diseases are two separate entities.
What are the signs of FIP? Initial exposure to the FIP virus usually
results in no obvious clinical disease, although some cats may experience a
mild upper respiratory disease that is characterized by sneezing, watery
eyes, and watery nasal discharge. Some cats may experience a mild intestinal
disease. Most cats that undergo the primary infection completely recover,
although some of them may become virus carriers. Only a small percentage of
exposed cats develop the lethal disease: weeks, months, or perhaps years
after primary infection.
The onset of clinical signs of lethal FIP may be sudden (especially in
kittens), or the signs may gradually increase in severity over a period of
weeks. Many cats have nonspecific signs such as intermittent inappetence,
depression, rough hair coat, weight loss, and fever.
The major forms of lethal FIP are effusive (wet) FIP, noneffusive
(dry) FIP, and combinations of both. The most characteristic sign of
effusive FIP is the accumulation of fluid within the abdomen and/or chest.
When fluid accumulation becomes excessive, it may become difficult for the
cat to breathe normally.
The onset of noneffusive FIP is usually slower. Fluid accumulation is
minimal, although weight loss, depression, anemia, and fever are almost
always present. Signs of kidney failure (increased water consumption and
urination), liver failure (jaundice), pancreatic disease (vomiting,
diarrhea, diabetes), neurologic disease (loss of balance, behavioral
changes, paralysis, seizures), enteritis (vomiting, diarrhea), or eye
disease (inflammation, blindness) may be seen in various combinations. FIP
is often a difficult disease to diagnose because each cat can display
different signs that are similar to those of many other diseases.
Return to Top
What are the chances my cat will get FIP in its lifetime? Young cats
(less than two years of age), older cats (over ten years old), cats in poor
physical condition, and cats undergoing concurrent infections or stress are
more susceptible to FIP. It is a relatively uncommon disease in the general
cat population, probably affecting fewer than one percent of the cats
brought to a veterinarian's office for treatment. In multiple-cat
populations such as some shelters and catteries the disease rate can be much
higher, affecting up to 10 to 20 percent of the susceptible population over
a period of several months.
Are there any laboratory tests that can detect the FIP virus? The
KELA, ELISA, IFA, and virus-neutralization tests detect the presence of
coronavirus antibodies in a cat. A positive test result only means the cat
has had a prior exposure to a coronavirus -- not necessarily one that causes
FIP -- and has developed antibodies against that virus. If the test is
negative, it means the cat has not been exposed to a coronavirus.
The number, or titer, that is reported is the highest serum dilution
that still produced a positive reaction. Low titers indicate a small amount
of coronavirus antibodies in the serum, while high titers indicate greater
amounts of antibodies. A healthy cat with a high titer is not necessarily
more likely to develop FIP or be a carrier of an FIP-causing coronavirus
than a cat with a low titer. It also is not necessarily protected against
future FIP virus infection.
Recently, two new tests have been developed that can detect parts of
the virus itself. The immunoperoxidase test can diagnose FIP more accurately
than traditional histopathologic examination because it detects
virus-infected cells in the tissue. A biopsy of affected tissue is necessary
for evaluation. Another antigen test utilizes polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) to detect viral genetic material in tissue or body fluid. Although
this test shows promise, PCR is presently only capable of detecting
coronaviruses in general, not necessarily those that cause FIP.
Return to Top
Should I have an FIP test done on my cat? There are two primary
situations where the determination of coronavirus-antibody titers can be
useful to the cat owner or breeder and the veterinarian:
1.. As a screening test, to determine the presence or absence of
antibodies in a previously untested household and to detect potential virus
carriers or shedders when introducing new cats into households or catteries
that are negative for coronavirus antibodies
2.. As an aid (and nothing more than an aid) in the clinical
diagnosis of a diseased cat that has signs suggestive of FIP.
Why did I get two different test results from two different
laboratories? Unfortunately, many laboratories use different antigens
prepared in different ways, and their interpretation of the assay can
differ. False results can occur from nonspecific reactions unless the tests
are meticulously controlled. The test can be difficult to interpret, since
it usually depends on a subjective decision made by the person reading the
test.
How is a positive diagnosis made? A presumptive diagnosis of FIP can
usually be made on the basis of clinical signs, routine laboratory tests,
and evaluation of abdominal or chest fluid. Some cases, however, present a
diagnostic challenge, since the signs of illness are not distinct for FIP.
In all cases, a tissue biopsy is the only way to absolutely confirm a
diagnosis of FIP.

Is there a cure for FIP? Currently, FIP is considered to be a
routinely fatal disease once a positive diagnosis has been made.
Unfortunately, no cure yet exists. The basic aim of therapy is to provide
supportive care and to alleviate the self- destroying inflammatory response
of the disease. Some treatments may induce short-term remissions in a small
percentage of patients. A combination of corticosteroids, cytotoxic drugs,
and antibiotics with maintenance of nutrient and fluid intake may be helpful
in some cases. In the future, combining immune-modulating drugs with
effective antiviral medications may prove to be beneficial for treatment of
FIP.
Can I protect my cat from getting FIP? In multiple cat environments,
keeping cats as healthy as possible and minimizing exposure to infectious
agents lessens the likelihood of cats' developing FIP. Preventing
overcrowding, keeping cats current on vaccinations, providing proper
nutrition and adequate sanitation, and eliminating feline leukemia virus
infections can be helpful in reducing the incidence of FIP groups of cats.
The first FIP vaccine (Primucell FIP by Pfizer Animal Health) was
introduced in 1991. It is a temperature- sensitive, modified-live vaccine.
The vaccine is licensed for intranasal vaccination of cats at 16 weeks of
age, with boosters in 3 to 4 weeks, and then yearly. Once a cat is
vaccinated, its serum may have a positive coronavirus antibody titer. This
could be a problem for cattery owners who use serologic testing to maintain
a coronavirus-free population.
The vaccine appears to be safe, but various studies have yielded
different estimates of vaccine efficacy. The role that Primucell FIP will
ultimately play in protecting cats from FIP is not yet known; for the time
being, discussions with your veterinarian should help you decide if your cat
should be vaccinated.
My cat has FIP. How long can it be expected to live? How can I make my
cat comfortable during its last days? Once clinical signs appear, cats with
the effusive (wet) form of FIP will live a few days to a few weeks, although
some adult cats may linger for six to eight months. Cats with the dry form
of FIP usually die within a few weeks, but survival for up to a year or more
is possible.
Providing good nursing care and feeding a balanced, highly nutritious
diet will make your cat more comfortable in the terminal stages of the
disease. Your veterinarian may prescribe medications to reduce the
discomfort associated with the disease or provide more-specific supportive
therapy.

Can a person or a dog become infected with FIP? FIP has not been
documented in any species other than those of the cat family. FIP is not
known to constitute any health risk for human beings. However, FIP virus is
similar to a common virus of dogs - canine coronavirus, that produces
enteritis in dogs.

Wow.. that was a boat load of links!
Having had a cat that came down with FIP, and having worked in a vets office
afterwards, I have done a boat load of research on it myself. I am
surprised how much outdated info there is out there on it - cause so little
is know about FIP.
First of all, a diagnosis of FIP is never definitive, unless you have a
necropsy done. Most vets pull out FIP if they have no idea what it is. I
saw one vet diagnose it when the cat had an under developed brain, and the
same vet diagnose it when it was panleuk. (i volunteer at a shelter too)
FIP is a mutation of the corona virus, and is thought to not be contagious.
They originally thought it was, since it was so prevalent in cat houses, but
that is probably because of the breeding of the cats make them all
susceptible to the mutation. The corona virus IS contagious, but not the
mutation. Six cats in my house, eight exposed to it, only the one came down
with it.
Yes, six weeks is a good waiting time. but chances are any kitty you are
going to get has come in contact with the corona virus to begin with. Not
only that, but you don't even know if that is what she had. Find a
reputable shelter, one that tests for FELV and FIV and vaccinates. That
will be your safest bet.
