Fip Cat Disease
My old cat died within 7 years of FIP?
I have 2 indoor cats and others that seem to be fine. It baffles me that my (adult) contracted cat the dreaded disease. Any ideas as to how he could have contracted the disease? There is only one licensed vaccine available against FIP, however, this vaccine has minimal if any effectiveness in the prevention of FIP, and is not generally recommended by the American Association Feline Practitioners Feline Vaccine Advisory Panel.
incorrect or no vaccination for it, could have been failure of the vaccine, but most likely not been vaccinated because the vaccine or maintained. In this article explains a lot of Corona (corona) virus because of the FIP (V), Cornell University, I suggest you read it. http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/fip.html The party left out of his quote: It appears to be safe, but the risks and benefits of vaccination should be weighed carefully. Cat owners should consult your veterinarian to help you decide if your cat should be vaccinated. Also Cornell University and the link I gave above. Any ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cat that carries any coronavirus is potentially at risk of developing FIP. FIP is a highly contagious disease, since by the time the cat develops clinical disease only a small amount of virus is being shed. feline coronavirus found in large quantities in saliva and feces of cats during acute infection and to a lesser far recovered carrier cats, or at what can be transmitted through contact from cat to cat and exposure to feces. The virus can also live in the environment for several weeks. The most common transmission of feline coronavirus occurs when cats are infected females pass along the virus to her kittens, usually when pups are between five and eight weeks of age. Only a small percentage of cats that are exposed to feline coronavirus develop FIP, and this can occur weeks, months or even years after initial exposure. http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/news/fip.htm FIP is not hereditary, passed from mother to kitten or saliva or feces.
