What is FIP in Cats
FIP, or Feline Infectious Peritonitis, is a severe and often fatal viral disease that affects cats.
It is caused by certain strains of feline coronavirus, which are commonly found in the upper respiratory tract or gastrointestinal tract of cats.
While most feline coronaviruses result in mild to moderate symptoms, the mutated forms responsible for FIP trigger an aggressive immune response leading to widespread inflammation and organ damage.
