Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] FIP
I didn't know there was a vaccine for FIP. I know there's a vaccine for FIV
which causes the cat to test positive for FIV. If the cat is picked up by
animal control or someone rescues the cat should he/she get lost, the cat will
test positive for FIV and most likely be euthanized because there are still
vets who think that this is a fatal and contagious disease and most animals
controls will put the cat down immediately.

Hi everyone
Great source of info on FIP is The Orion Society. They have a list, just like
this one that deals with FIP. I had a cat die from it years ago, still breaks
my heart. Horrible disease, but true, hard to read blood tests. I would highly
suggest checking out the list. A great big bunch of knowledgeable people on
there, dedicated to dealing with this disease. It was my understanding, that
the cat has to be exposed over and over again to a particular coronavirus.

Just a note regarding FIP. Please be advised not to vaccinate against it. The
vaccine is very controversial and the cat will ALWAYS test positive for it if
given the vaccination..
