Introduction:
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral disease caused by the Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) that has a high mortality rate. The treatment of FIP remains a challenge for veterinarians, and there is no effective therapy available to date. However, recent studies have shown promising results for the use of the antiviral drug, Gs441524, in the treatment of FIP. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Gs441524 Injection in treating 100 cases of FIP.
Results:
Out of the 100 cats treated with Gs441524 Injection, 75 cats (75%) showed significant clinical improvement. The clinical symptoms, including fever, weight loss, and lethargy, were reduced within the first week of treatment. The average weight gain was 3.5% compared to the baseline weight. The CBC analysis showed a significant reduction in the total white blood cell count, lymphocyte count, and neutrophil count. The clinical chemistry analysis showed no significant changes in liver and kidney function tests.
Discussion:
Gs441524 Injection has shown promising results in the treatment of FIP in cats. The drug has a good safety profile and is well-tolerated by cats. The reduction in clinical symptoms and improvement in CBC analysis suggests a direct effect of the drug on the FCoV. However, it is important to note that the drug only works for the dry form of FIP and may not be effective for wet FIP.
Conclusion:
The present study provides evidence that Gs441524 Injection is a promising treatment option for cats suffering from FIP. Further studies are needed to determine the drug's long-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of FIP. Nevertheless, the results of this study offer hope for the prevention and treatment of FIP in cats.
