Fip
Question: I am thinking about buying a Burmese kitten, but his grandfather died of FIP. The breeder has been in business for 20 years and in that time has had a total of 4 cats die of FIP. I understand that about 85% of cattery cats have the corona virus and in only about 5% does it mutate to the FIP virus. So, the odds are good. However, some studies conclude that there is a strong genetic factor in which cats develop FIP. Should I get this kitten? Answer: Here is a very comprehensive article on FIP. You might want to look it over carefully, then make your decision. Feline Infectious Peritonitis Answer: Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.tendlife.com
