EDUCATIONAL OVERVIEW
Dry FIP in Cats
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a serious viral-related condition caused by a mutated feline coronavirus.
The dry (non-effusive) form does not typically produce fluid buildup, but instead leads to inflammatory lesions in organs such as the liver, kidneys, intestines, eyes, or nervous system.
Dry FIP can be slow-developing, and signs may vary depending on which organs are affected. Common observations can include weight loss, fever that does not respond to antibiotics, lethargy, reduced appetite, neurological changes, eye inflammation, or gradual decline in overall condition.
Because symptoms can be subtle and progressive, veterinary evaluation is essential for diagnosis and ongoing care. Early professional involvement improves the ability to monitor progression, explore antiviral options, and support comfort and quality of life.
Some guardians choose to incorporate general wellness and resilience-focused approaches to support comfort, immune balance, vitality, and stress resilience during periods of health challenge. These approaches are intended to complement veterinary care, not replace medical treatment.
Ocular FIP
(Ocular Feline Infectious Peritonitis) is a form of FIP in cats that affects the eyes.
FIP is caused by a mutation of the feline coronavirus that triggers a severe immune-mediated inflammatory disease. When FIP involves the eyes, it causes inflammation inside the eye structures, which can affect vision and overall comfort.
Why it’s more linked to Dry FIP
Dry FIP tends to cause localized inflammatory lesions in organs — including:
Because Dry FIP focuses on tissue inflammation rather than fluid buildup, it is more likely to show eye involvement such as:
-
Uveitis
-
Cloudy eyes
-
Iris color changes
-
Vision loss
What happens in Ocular FIP
Ocular FIP occurs when inflammatory immune complexes affect the eye tissues, leading to:
-
Uveitis (inflammation inside the eye)
-
Cloudy or bluish eye appearance
-
Color change in the iris
-
Dilated or uneven pupils
-
Eye redness or visible blood vessels
-
Vision loss or reduced vision
-
Sensitivity to light
-
Eye pain or squinting
-
Fluid or debris inside the eye
Cats at higher risk
Ocular FIP may occur alone or with other FIP Symptoms
Some cats also show:
-
Fever that does not respond to antibiotics
-
Weight loss
-
Lethargy
-
Neurological signs (if neuro FIP develops)
-
Wet FIP (fluid in abdomen or chest)
-
Dry FIP (organ inflammation)
