FIP - Different Drugs and their dosages
DON'T STOP TREATMENT until AGP level of cats, is below 500.

Molnupiravir (EIDD 2801)
Below is the most effective treatment plan for 8 weeks:
For wet FIP and by implication stopping FCoV shedding: 20 mg/kg/day (10 mg/kg twice daily)

We often get asked about Herpes virus. Here is a study using Raltegravir. It clears the virus from the host, you should get a PCR negative. (cat stops shedding)

Sold as 400mg tablets.

Another virus bites the dust.
Say good by to Calici virus with Nitazoxanide (NTZ)

Cats typically receive a dose of 25 mg/kg every 12-24 hours until the condition resolves.

Should a scheduled dose be missed, it should be administered as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, the missed dose should be skipped and the regular medication schedule should be continued. Two doses of nitazoxanide should not be administered at the same time.

Nitazoxanide is an antiparasitic agent that is used to treat a variety of protozoa, bacteria, nematodes, and trematodes. It is useful against sarcocystis neurona, giardia, cryptosporidia, and helicobacter pylori.

It is useful against severe Gingivitis, inflammation of the gum or gingiva.

Interesting read for breeders and cat owners. Is this the new normal… for cat breeding. The transmission of SARS-COV-2 from human to cat, is now well documented. Purebred cats are more susceptible to the virus. (This research paper was published in Viruses. Viruses is a peer-reviewed, open access journal of virology, published monthly online by MDPI. The American Society for Virology (ASV))

The lower immunity response to the virus, the ease of transmission for example in the Omicron variant and level of infection in cats vary between the different virus mutations, mirroring the human infection and transmission rates.

There has been an increase of breeders having to stop breeding because they can not manage the continuous outbreak of ‘strange’ respiratory illnesses in their cats and litters.

The secondary infections appear, as the immunity decreases and viral loads increase.

Common secondary infections or diseases that can be observed or tested for are:

Mycoplasma
Upper respiratory infections
Lethargy
Chronic eye infection
Mouth ulcers
Gingivitis, periodontitis
Cough
FIP

This paper was published in 2023, it’s one of the first to discuss what’s going on.

Note: A cat infected with SARS-COV-2, is not the same as a cat infected with FCoV, however with the low immune response to SARS-COV-2, would mean that the FCoV viral load in a SARS-COV-2 infected cat would increase. It is documented that high FCoV viral loads in individual cats and cohorts of cats can lead to the development of the FIP disease in some cases.

Would this explain why there is an increase of FIP and new FIP virus variants in cat around the world?

Our conclusion: Limit how your cat can be exposed to CovID.
Everyone

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 infections in domestic cats have caused concern for both animal health and the potential for inter-species transmission. Cats are known to be susceptible to the Omicron variant and its descendants, however, ...

UK 🇬🇧 Re-write the news.
While in Cyprus….vets now say 8000

Head of Cat Protection and Welfare Society (PAWS) Cyprus, Dinos Ayiomamitis, told Agence France Presse: “We have lost 300,000 cats since January from FIP.”

Though he later told the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation that the figure was a rough calculation based on an estimate of a 20-30 per cent mortality rate among the island’s approximately 1 million cats.

UK Patients only

Attention as of tomorrow our vets will no longer need to carry out a physical examination to take an animal under their care.

However they do now have to physically see every animal to dispense any anti-virals, parasitic, ABs, full list is on RCVS site.

The option for Tele medicine is being considered. This will include another veterinary service provider on their behalf, must be able to provide in-person follow-up care on a 24/7 basis.

We are not particularly open to this change as it will only increase workload, vet consultations and fees.

It means for example if you do bloods or any sample via the vet, if the results come back and you need ABs, they'll need to call you in for an appointment with the vet, to dispense them. You can't just pick them up.

Mefloquine a Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) Treatment
Mefloquine is a prescription drug usually £22 for 8 tablets
In the UK & EU, vets can write a prescription to be used at a pharmacy. It’s a good alternative while other more effective treatments arrive.

The current dosage of 62.5 mg/ mature cat twice weekly may well be efficacious against the virus, however the next stage would be to undertake clinical trials of mefloquine in cats infected with FIPV. Further studies on therapeutic effects of mefloquine in cats with FIP are needed to determine its therapeutic advantage.

When mefloquine was administered with food, oral absorption was enhanced. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7341284/

Mefloquine Belle Ayr Research

Our efficacy study on FCoV management, shows that Mefloquine dosage shows some promise above 17mg/kilo q24, I’m proposing to try 25mg-30mg/ kilo q24 * ? days. Duration for FIP not confirmed.

Toxicity above 30mg/kilo

UK prices: £22.50 for 8 tablets

Our research based on collected data sources across the UK, shows that Mefloquine has some promise 17-25mg/kilo q24 * 7 -14days.
>30mg/ kilo caused toxicity and ataxia.
Due to its toxicity causing neurological symptoms, at this time we will not be considering it further. (However it may be effective for ocular type issues, hopefully some clinical research will be published regarding this in the future.)

It's prescription only and available in most countries.
