FIP Treatment in Canada

Treatment for Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) has changed dramatically over the past several years. What was once untreatable is now a rapidly developing area of veterinary medicine, with regulated prescription treatment options now increasingly available across Canada.

 

Veterinarians are becoming an essential source of guidance, education, and support for caregivers. As standard FIP treatment protocols extend over 84 days, caregiver understanding and compliance at home are critical to successful treatment outcomes. From medication administration and dose adjustments to monitoring progress and navigating the observation period, ongoing veterinarian-led support can make a significant difference throughout the treatment journey.

 

This educational session is designed to provide veterinary professionals with practical insight into modern FIP management and the evolving treatment landscape in Canada.
