We took him straight to the vet - tested negative for FIP & FIV/FELV. Also got a flea treatment & dewormed.

As I understand it, there is no effective test for FIP.

Only upon drawing fluid from a cat with active disease (wet form) or upon necropsy (dry form) can the presence of FIP be confirmed.
They can test for the carriers (corona viruses) of FIP, doesn't mean the cat will develop FIP (under 5% chance)
Many cats carry many corona viruses.
Even if a cat tests NEG for FIP, it can mutate and turn into FIP at a later time.
The very young and very old cats are most often effected by this terrible disease, as we well know around here. We've lost too many.




Just don't want you to get any false confidence built up in having Brodie tested.

We pray that he, and all kitties are free of this.


Congratulations on your new baby.
