Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus (FIPV) Again May 13, 2019




It is also Asagao-chan again.

Many car accidents have been reported recently

I also commute by car,
I was about to catch a pedestrian on my way home today,
It was cool. .




It was dangerous. .
Remorse. .

It would be better to move by train, though
It takes twice as much as a car, but there is a place where the work is around,
Furthermore, there are more homes, so there can be no trains and buses. .

Carrying luggage is also difficult with bicycles, and it gets wet if it is raining,
Above all, cats can not carry.




I understand that elderly people with dementia do not easily return their license.

Besides, I like driving and driving.
It feels like I'm not going to invade that personal space on the train,
The bus is smelly,

I hope that automatic driving will not be common.



"Be careful!"

Yes. .
I will drive with care.



Asakusa-chan has come to come near to a certain extent.

However, still,



Put my finger on the back. .






"I hate it."





Thanks to you, he ate medicine rice.

Well, I wonder if his back does not change much. .


Well, the other day I was informed that the virus test was negative on the phone,
Test result of feline infectious peritonitis virus arrived by mail.



FeLV = feline leukemia negative

FIV = Cats HIV  negative

In this case, it is FCoV antibody level.

About feline infectious peritonitis, we had investigated previously.

below excerpt ↓

According to the example, "The cat's sickness large catalog"



And from wikipedia.

It was difficult, but about the understanding of the range that I understood.

First of all, coronavirus is a kind of virus. (RNA virus)
It seems that there are many viruses belonging to it. Dog coronavirus or mouse coronavirus. Furthermore, it seems that MARS, SARS which became a problem in respiratory tract infections fall in this.

Of those things that become a problem with cats,
1 Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus (FIPV)
2 cat intestinal coronavirus (FeCV)
Although it can be confirmed by antibody test, these two are indistinguishable by the test and are judged by symptoms.

2 cat intestinal coronaviruses exhibit mild diarrhea.

The problem is 1 feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV)
This virus causes feline infectious peritonitis.



"Cat infectious peritonitis"

Representative of incurable disease.
I expect life expectancy by suppressing the symptoms.

Depending on the condition, there are wet and non-wet type.
Wet type: Ascites fluid is stored, causing abdominal distension and dyspnea due to pleural fluid retention.
Non-wet type (dry type): Neurologic symptoms and eye lesions are observed. Multiple purulent granuloma formation is observed in various organs and causes organ failure. Ascites and pleural effusion do not accumulate.

In general, in infections, antibodies can be bound to the virus to control the infection.
However, this feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) is taken up into cells by binding to antibodies, and is proliferated in the cells. Thus, the more antibodies there are, the more likely they will develop. An increase in antibody titer is a measure of severity.

The cause of infection is contact with an infected cat. It is also from the bite of a fight, the saliva of grooming.
One week incubation period after infection.
Early in the infection, fever, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss.
Thereafter, the above-mentioned wet and non-wet type symptoms are exhibited.
The progression of symptoms is relatively slow, but in kittens etc. it progresses acutely and mortality is high.

There is no effective treatment, and life prolongation is achieved by symptomatic treatment such as infusion and antibiotic administration.
Vaccines are used in the United States but not in Japan.
In order to prevent infection, the infected cats should be isolated and disinfected if used. Because the virus itself is relatively weak, it is killed by common disinfectants such as alcohol and detergents.



...

further,

If I add about feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), (from the same book)

FIPV = Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus

Feline infectious peritonitis virus belongs to the same coronavirus as feline intestinal coronavirus (FeCV), and it is difficult to distinguish the two in antibody testing.

Feline Infectious Peritonitis is a systemic vasculitis,
Feline enteric coronavirus infection is characterized by mild enteritis.

In general, antibodies bind to viruses and eliminate infectivity, but feline infectious peritonitis virus binds to antibodies, is efficiently taken up by cells, activated in cells, and proliferates.
Because of these characteristics, an increase in antibody titer is a measure of severity.


It is written on the paper of the inspection result
FCoV is
  stands for =Feline Corona Virus, maybe.

There was also such a site.
FCoV (cat coronavirus)


There are a lot of cat diseases and viruses. .
