The Mysterious FIP:

This webinar covers diagnosis of FIP and the complexities in FIP diagnosis. This lecture will focus on managing complicated cases of FIP, what to do if cats are not responding to FIP treatment, relapses of FIP as well as cats that develop comorbidities such as IMHA, sepsis, pneumonia etc. We will also address questions about treating cats with FIV/FeLV.
