Adv Multi
heartworm
fleas
earmites
worms
FIP etiology
coronavirus
FIPV (inside lining of abdominal cavity & chest)
Peritonitis is just one form, vasculitis is key
FIP clinical signs
acute form asymptomatic
insidious onset of vague, nonspecific signs such as anorexia, depression, weight loss, fluctuating pyrexia, anemia
Wet/ effusive form
classical FIP
looks like water filled belly
vasculitis of peritoneal and pleural membranes
peritoneal effusion caused by ascites
pleural effusion
pathology:
characteristic pyogranulomatous exudate
gray-white fibrin plaques on serosal surfaces
diffuse, granular fibrin thickening over all mesothelial surfaces
dry/parenchymal form
atypical form, difficult to diagnose
about 50% dry form
effusion minimal of absent
gray-white nodular pyogranulomatous masses or inflammation with focal necrosis may affect any one or combination of organs (specific organ affected dictate clinical signs)
kidney,liver,CNS, eye, abdominal lymph nodes, or spleen
FIP
contagious viral infection
usually from 6months-2 years
characterized from insidious onset, persistent non-responsive fever, possible fluid accumulation in body cavities, mortality approaches 100%
clinical situation in which FIP is considered
ascites-abdominal fluid distension
dyspnea due to pleural effusion
lumpy enlarged kidneys
mesenteric lymphadenopathy-disease of lymph node in chest cavity
neurological signs
ocular lesions
radiographs- interstitial lung disease with chronic fever, looks like patchy fog
icterus
chronic, fluctuating non-responsive pyrexia
non-regenerative anemia (unexplained)
vomiting, diarrhea, liver or kidney insufficiency
FIP pathology
histologic lesion similar for both forms
multifocal pyogranulomatous reactions
primarily vascular disease
FIP diagnosis
no definitive FIP test
hemogram:
-nonregenerative anemia
-severe lymphopenia and eosinopenia
-neutrophilic leukocytosis
serum protein: increased total protein
increased bilirubin with sever liver involvement
radiographs: pleural or peritoneal effusion
CSF: increased protein levels and increased cell counts (neutrophils)
JUST WET FORM–fluid analysis:
>straw/golden colored
>flecks or strands fibrin
>decreased cell count
>no bacteria
serology: false positives, detects other coronavirus diseases
vaccinations cause false positives for 3 mon
abdominocentesis
abdomen removed
paracentesis
off to side
cystocentesis
bladder removed
treatment for FIP
aggressive antiinflammatory medicine
Prednisone- steroid, decrease inflammation
plus one of following:
cytoxan
alkeran
imuran
ampicillan to eliminate secondary bacteria, antibiotic b/c of immunosuppressant
interferon- drug produced by body, fight infection/cancer/virus
levamisole-dewormer, stimulates immune system
antiviral drug (ribavirin)
cats most likely to respond to FIP treatment if
good physical condition
good appetite
no CNS signs
no anemia, regenerative if have
no FeLV infection
survive 3-4 weeks after diagnosis
fatal disease
FeLV etiology
RNA virus
subfamily oncovirinae of family retroviridae
-RNA core
-reverse trancriptase enzyme- unique to FeLV, allows insertion into DNA of host cell
-viral core proteins-detected by lab testing
-viral envelope components-determines how much disease it can produced based on types
FeLV transmission
carriers for life
contagious transmission requires intimate contact
-primarily oronasal cotact with infectious saliva
-facilitated by social behavior suck as licking, biting, grooming, sharing of food
-transplacental and milkborne
-blood transfusions
brief encounter is of decreased importance than continuous exposure, not from one bite
fomite transmission not important, wont last in environment
FeLV clinical signs
chronic wasting disease characterized by anemia, lethargy, and anorexia
1/3 of body weight lost
proliferative FeLV
uncontrolled multiplication of cells
lymphoproliferative neoplasia
myeloproliferative neoplasia
crowd out all good cells
no immune system
degenerative FeLV
cytopathic effects on certain cells/cell types
kills cells
bone marrow cells- anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia
lymphocytes- T cell depletion, lymphoid atrophy, immunodeficiency
intestinal cells- enteritis
fetus and placenta- abortion/ stillbirths
immunosuppressive FeLV
“aids-like disease”
profound immunodeficiency resulting in susceptibility to wide variety of opportunistic infections
