Feline coronavirus is common, especially in multi-cat environments. While infection is often asymptomatic or yields mild gastrointestinal signs, in some cases it can progress to 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 (𝐅𝐈𝐏) —a serious and potentially fatal disease. ELISA testing helps detect antibody levels, offering early insight for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning.
