12:22 pm
the sense of they might have it. we call it a rule-out disease. if the pet is sick, call if you have any change in the pets at aller we basically try to rule out everything and if we find they don't have metabolic or bacterial infection or intestinal disease or whatever, then fip becomes very high on our list. some of the symptoms can be that they are very lethargic, don't want to eat. if they have the wet form they will have an abdomen that fills up with fluid or have trouble breathing if the fluid is in the chest. we are not exactly sure 100% how it's transmitted but it's definitely through the feces and so there's some thought that contamination through litter and other fecal matter could be part of it. >> older cats, younger cats? >> i was just going to say. kittens are much more susceptible and young cats than older cats but they are al sess sent i believe. >> is it rare? >> no. i don't see a lot of it but we see it in a lot of feral cats
