FIP Treatment Protocols

FIP should be treated as a disease of exclusion.  Basically, what that means is to rule out all other possibilities before resorting to a FIP diagnosis.  The wet form of FIP is more conclusive when the effusion is tested positive for FIP.  However, in the dry form of FIP, there isn't that notorious "straw-colored FIP fluid."  So, it is important to know other diseases with symptoms that bare some similarity to FIP. 

So far to date, there is no cure for FIP.  There are palliative treatment protocols for the comfort of the cat or kitten.  These will be described below.  The most promising treatment protocol currently is Polyprenyl Immunostimulant and it has been used with some success in the earlier stages of the disease for prolonging the lives of cats with the dry form of FIP.
