Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)
Cortisol is the hormone regulating the activity of the white blood cells known as lymphocytes, which is the immune system soldiers that produce antibodies to fight off ..... virus, bacteria, disease and toxic matter.
So our aim is to fix the endocrine imbalance, cortisol - antibody imbalance, rid the virus and treat the symptoms present. It is important that we know all the present symptoms as well when you order the FIP treatment.
The danger with FIP, happens when the invading virus gets PAST the cellular response, to the general immune antibody system. Once the cat's antibody system "sees" the virus, it makes antibodies to the FIP virus, and these antibodies kill the cat.
That is why traditional FIP treatment are things like cortisone that knock out the antibody immune system. It's because the cat's antibodies to FIP are the killer action, not the virus growing in the cat as with "normal" viruses.
But if the cat can fend off the FIP at the cellular response level (local level of cell immunity), not the general level of antibody manufacture through the overall immune system, then it can get rid of FIP altogether.
Corona virus indeed can spread from one cat to another - so is contagious as "corona virus" but NOT as "FIP".
The mutated FIP can NOT spread from one cat to another, and it has to mutate from corona to FIP within each cat that is infected.
The FIP disease is in any case NOT a virus attack - it is the cat's own antibodies attacking it and of course that too cannot be handed from one cat to another. In group situations where it might look like there is an epidemic of FIP - the reason for the FIP looking contagious is not that it spreads from cat to cat, but that the common factors that predispose the corona mutating to FIP, are there for all the cats in that environment.
So we really need to look at what predisposes corona to mutate to FIP.
It may just be a case of predisposition due to genetic lack of heterozygo Cortisol is the hormone regulating the activity of the white blood cells known as lymphocytes, which is the immune system soldiers that produce antibodies to fight off ..... virus, bacteria, disease and toxic matter.
But there is known predisposition where there is stress.
Stress is the biggest known predisposition factor for FIP. (not just emotional stress, but toxic stress, vaccinations heavy metal drugs etc)
We believe the incidence of young cats and kittens becoming critically ill with FIP increases significantly after they are vaccinated. The vaccine contains a small dose of the live virus which is given in order that the cat develops its own immunity. However, because cats have an underdeveloped immune system at this time, they are unable to reproduce enough antibodies to fight off the virus. To date we have not treated any kittens for this virus prior to them being given the vaccination, and only see them when they have been vaccinated weeks or months before.
Alternate Vaccines are the Feline oral nosodes, a good homeopathic vet will have the alternatives if you ask them. If your feline has the "Wet" FIP we will need for your to send a sample to our clinic: Please send a sample to our clinic as soon as possible: hampl Clinic 60 Angove St. North Perth WA 6006 Australia.
If your feline has wet FIP, you will need to ask your Vet to drain fluids that accumulate in the abdomen, take a cotton bud with you and wet the tip from the fluid that was drained, and post this to our office as soon a possible. N.B. The fluid sample will dry out on the cotton bud which is fine, we do not need the sample to be wet liquid. Approx. 80mls of warm plain saline solution of Sub Q fluids (fluids just under the skin) once a week to insure hydration for your cat from loss of vital fluids being drained. Sub Q will also assist in energy and wellness for any animal who needs support.
