Infecciosas
A very common and usually harmless intestinal viral infection. Its significance is that, on rare occasions, it can mutate and cause FIP.
Feline enteric coronavirus, very common and spread through faeces. Frequent in cats that live in groups.
Detection by PCR on faeces. Its main importance is as a potential precursor of FIP.
It usually needs no treatment beyond supportive care if there is diarrhoea. The key is to reduce stress and overcrowding, which encourage mutation into FIP.
Litter tray hygiene, avoiding overcrowding of cats, and reducing stress.
Not an emergency. See your vet if there is persistent diarrhoea in kittens. Watch for signs of FIP in young, stressed cats.
