While this is a great overview of FIP, it was written in
2005 when the latest treatment options and antivirals were not
yet available
EveryCat Health Foundation has some great research updates
and summaries on FIP
iCatCare has an amazing document outlining the treatments
available for FIP, their contraindications, side effects, costs
and recommended schedules as well as covering a few FAQs on FIP
treatment. It was updated in July 2025.

The 2022 AAFP/EveryCat FIP Diagnosis Guidelines give a great
summary of FIP itself, the diagnostic options available, pros and
cons or each option and then an summary at the end
