Can FIP be treated?
Unfortunately there is no known treatment for FIP. In cats where the disease is diagnosed or suspected the immediate action depends on the severity of the disease. In some cases immediate euthanasia is necessary on humane grounds. In others, palliative treatment may be provided with anti-inflammatories (eg, prednisolone) for a period of time to make the cat comfortable. However, the disease will eventually progress and euthanasia will inevitably be required.
