Feline infectious peritonitis
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a serious disease in cats caused by virulent mutations of an enteric feline coronavirus (FCoV).
The condition has a high mortality rate. Historically, treatments have been relatively ineffective but now with the recent availability of legal medications in the UK more treatment options are available.
This collection brings together a series of BSAVA resources to help in the diagnosis and treatment of FIP.
