Feline infectious peritonitis. FIP-infected kidney showing inflammatory response. Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal, incurable disease that affects cats. It is caused by Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus (FIPV), which is a mutation of Feline Enteric Coronavirus (FECV) â (Feline coronavirus FCoV). Experts do not agree on the specifics of genetic changes that produce the FIPV.
FIP and the Coronavirus. Feline infectious peritonitis, also called FIP, is a progressive, systemic and fatal disease resulting from a mutation in the coronavirus. While the coronavirus is common in cats, especially in multi-cat living environments, only about 10-12% of cases end in Feline Infectious Peritonitis. FIP is primarily a disease of young cats, between 6 months and 2 years of age. Cats over 14 years of age also seem to be predisposed to developing FIP.
