that's kind of what i meant--yes, FIP means there's been a corona virus exposure/infection, but it is still possible for an FIP-positive cat to not show a high titre. might not be COMMON, but just as a high titre doesn't prove FIP, a low one doesn't exclude it either. kind of like a negative FeLV

Well, that should be the first step in any FIP diagnosis. I really find it completely unfathomable that they didn't do a Corona titer when they suspected FIP. True, if it's positive, it could still be anything, but if it's negative, that completely eliminates the possibility of FIP, and allows you

You can't have FIP without Corona, the Corona mutates into FIP, but it doesn't make it so that it's not Corona, it just creates the condition known as FIP (it's not the virus that mutates, it's the condition that mutates, if that makes sense). At least that's how I read it from Dr. Addie's
