Abstract

It is my opinion that the feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) antibody test currently is being over-used and over-interpreted. The test is of value to the practitioner in specific circumstances, but by itself it is not diagnostic of clinical FIP. Further, it is my opinion that clinically healthy FIP antibody-positive cats should not be euthanatized under a routine test and eradication policy.
