Medication of feline infectious peritonitis FIP

Medication for feline infectious peritonitis FIP:

Feline infectious peritonitis FIP currently has two specific drugs: GC376 and GS-441524, generally referred to as 376 and 441. The main function of these two specific drugs is antiviral, which can increase the cure rate of FIP to about 35%. Because the effect and price of 441 are more advantageous than that of 376, 376 has been basically eliminated by the market, and 441 is generally used to treat FIP. If the cat is in a particularly poor state when it is sent to the hospital, it may be necessary to increase it by 50% when injecting specific drugs. Generally, if the cat can survive 4 days after treatment with specific drugs, it is basically equivalent to being rescued.

Precautions during the treatment of feline infectious peritonitis FIP

1) After cats get abdominal transmission, a large amount of ascites will be formed, and the appetite will decrease, which will cause the cat to become very thin. So at this time, in addition to the daily diet, it is necessary to supplement the cat with some nutrients to help its body recover.

2) If the cat’s anemia is found to be severe, it is recommended to transfuse blood immediately. For the cat’s blood transfusion matching, you should try to seek help from a pet hospital or a friend who raises a cat.

3) Unless the ascites affects the cat’s breathing or the abdomen is too much and seriously oppresses the organs, try not to pump ascites, and don’t pump a lot at one time, because ascites has a great impact on the cat’s body, and wet FIP ​​should try to avoid infusion.

4) If the situation is urgent, if the condition is not good when sent to the hospital, or the condition deteriorates rapidly while waiting for the medicine, and other treatment methods are ineffective, oxygen inhalation and prednisone and other hormone injections can be used for treatment.
