Feline Infectious Peritonitis - contd.
Clinical signs of the effusive form of FIP can vary, but typically include ascites, depression, anorexia, weight loss, fever, dyspnea, and tachypnea. Clinical signs of non-effusive FIP may include pyrexia, weight loss, depression, anorexia, ocular lesions, icterus, and neurological signs such as ataxia and seizures.
Clinical signs of the "wet" form of FIP can include a gradual swelling of the abdomen due to fluid building up in the cavity, depression, decreased or absent appetite, weight loss, fever, difficulty breathing, and a rapid respiratory rate. Clinical signs of the "dry" form of the disease may include fever, weight loss, depression, decreased or absent appetite, eye problems, a yellow color to the eyes or skin, and neurological signs such as difficulty walking and seizures.
