Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) Remedies
"Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral disease of cats caused by certain strains of a virus called the feline coronavirus. Most strains of feline coronavirus are avirulent, which means that they do not cause disease, and are referred to as feline enteric coronavirus. Cats infected with a feline coronavirus generally do not show any symptoms during the initial viral infection, and an immune response occurs with the development of antiviral antibodies."

[YEA] 06/03/2009: Ellen from Fort Collins, CO: "Black Spots: About 15 years ago, I had 2 cats (still have one) who endured the dry form of FIP. Being an immune system problem, one of the cats developed a number of tiny black spots under her chin. I used aloe vera gel that I applied topically and the fungus resolved within a week or so. Both cats recovered from the FIP but the Siamese lost her hearing. She lived to 16 yoa. The long-haired yellow cat is still living and is quite lively. She's about 17 years old. Both cats are/were on a raw food diet. Except for the time, early on, when they had FIP, neither has ever had fleas, ticks, or any parasite and they were outdoors in a protected area for much of that time. My yellow cat developed, first, a sebaceous cyst on her left shoulder where she received a rabies injection in 1994 (she's never had any more rabies shots since). I gently squeezed it and expressed a waxy substance and it disappeared for a number of years. It is back now and there is a rather large serous cyst below it as well. Am going to try the turmeric by adding it to her food. We just began using apple cider vinegar yesterday. I have a 2 year-old Siamese male as well. He received numerous multiple injections (just criminal) from the pinheads who sold him as a 4 month-old kitten. But, that's another story."

09/02/2012: Nur Aida from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: "Please help me, my kitten persian 8months diagnosed wet form of FIP. Bella is very sick now and admited. What can I do to get her better. I dont want to lose her."
Replies11/29/2012: Winnie from Hampshire, Il, US replies: "re: FIP, Nur Aida, how did your kitty cat come out?I had to have mine put to sleep last week. Vet said it could have been FIP, or a tumor, or heart disease that caused her to fill up with fluid - so I don't know if she actually had FIP or not. But, the vet did tell me that none of them are curable - only treatable, and just to a point. Unfortunately, Bubbles get very sick very quickly, and just couldn't make it. (only 2 ys. old) I do hope you were able to have a successful outcome with yours. All the best, Winniekate"
