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..
This is too important not to mention

There is no reliable test for FIP. Your cat tested positive for corona
virus. Most cats will test positive for corona virus and never get ill. FIP
is caused by a form of corona virus to which some cats are genetically
predisposed to contract if exposed to it. FIP is not rare but it's
definitely not very prevalent. I have had cats who tested above 400 for
corona virus and never got FIP and a cat who definitely had FIP but tested
very low for corona virus. He had apparently been exposed to the form that
he was predisposed to contract. He was also a street cat, in poor health in
general. Lee

Anyone: do you have to repeat the Felv vac every year?

Hi Everyone
I am new to this list and to the world of Feline Leukemia. We have 3 precious
cats, and we found out at the end of last year that two are FeLV positive,
and of those two, one is FIP positive as well
