Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) Remedies
Modified on Mar 17, 2018
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral infection found in cats. FIP attacks the cells of the intestinal wall, causing a significant inflammatory response. Natural remedies focus on strengthening the immune system, supporting the liver, and fighting infection. Home treatments can include turmeric, colloidal silver, and vitamin D.
Initial symptoms of FIP include sneezing, watery eyes, nasal discharge, and sometimes diarrhea. As the disease progresses a cat may lose weight, become depressed and have a rough coat.. FIP has two forms: “dry” and “wet." The dry form is more common and exhibits the symptoms above, but the wet form has a faster onset and is characterized by an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen. The fluid may cause a potbellied appearance and can interfere with your cat's breathing over time.
Turmeric
Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory herb. It can be mixed with your cat’s food. 1/16 to 1/8 of a teaspoon can be given twice daily.
