FIP Vaccine ?

[Millys Mum]

The other prob with it is that its for cats 16weeks plus and is best used before they are exposed to fcov which is rather difficult to achieve in a normal household as mum cat can have it. Barrier nursing form 5 weeks old would be a nightmare

Everytime the FIP vaccine is mentioned on the American forum, it isn't good - a lot of vets wont use it, I think sometimes there is concern they will then develop FIP, but will have a look at some point.

I just looked at the patent again and even though it was invented here, the license is American  -

VMQ: Is there an effective vaccine?

DR ADDIE: Not in the UK. There is an American vaccine, called Primucell, made by Pfizer. It's given by droplets up the nose and it does seriously reduce a cat's chances of developing FIP. Any cat about to be introduced into a multicat environment (like a boarding or rescue cattery) should, in my opinion, be vaccinated with Primucell if it is available in their country. (Editor's note: There are American veterinary pharmacology companies which sell various pet remedies and vaccines over the internet, but note that importing prescription only medicines is illegal.)

What i like is that they dont breed cats and then test on them, they use samples from peoples pets

FIE is in the normal shots BC

Close, but no cigar ........

[Millys Mum]

No prevention of FIP    Diane Addie is researching it. Its a type of virus that can change its form so is a difficult one to do.

Is this a standard vaccination given to cats? - I don't think so but curious
