Can FIP Be Cured in Cats? What Indian Pet Parents Should Know

Thanks to GS-441524 from BasmiFIP, Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is no longer a death sentence. Thousands of cats worldwide—over 87,000 and counting—have already been successfully treated.

For years, a diagnosis of FIP was considered a nightmare for cat parents and veterinarians in India and beyond. First described in 1963, FIP was believed to be a fatal condition with no effective treatment.

However, recent scientific breakthroughs have changed that outlook. Experts now understand that FIP develops due to factors like mutations in feline coronavirus, immune system imbalance, and environmental stress. More importantly, they have discovered how to combat it.

Advanced antiviral drugs, especially GS-441524, have shown excellent results in helping FIP-positive cats recover and return to a healthy life. So, is FIP curable? The latest data points to a hopeful “yes”.

Understanding What “Cure” Means in FIP Cases

In medical terms, a cure refers to the full resolution of disease, with no relapse or recurrence after a sustained period. 

For FIP, this means the feline coronavirus (FCoV) mutation responsible for the condition has been suppressed to a point where it no longer triggers inflammation, tissue damage, or clinical symptoms—even after treatment has ended.

Recent studies and field data have shown that this is, indeed, possible in a significant number of cases.

What the Latest Clinical Trial Tells Us

One of the most important breakthroughs comes from a recent prospective treatment trial using oral GS-441524. 

Research from Daniela Krentz (2021) represents the first of its kind to provide clear clinical evidence that FIP can be cured with antiviral treatment. The results are groundbreaking:

• Cats treated with GS-441524 showed significant recovery, with resolution of symptoms such as fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, and fluid accumulation in the abdomen or chest.

• The relapse rate was low, especially when the treatment was supervised and completed properly.

• Most importantly, many cats remained symptom-free long after the treatment course was completed.

These outcomes provide strong clinical evidence that FIP can, in many cases, be cured with antiviral treatment.

The Real-World Impact: Over 87,000+ Cats Saved

Clinical trials are vital, but real-world data reinforces their findings. GS-441524, distributed by BasmiFIP India, has been used in the treatment of over 87,000+ cats around the world. 

📊With proper and timely use, GS-441524 has enabled full recovery in cats diagnosed with FIP.

✅ Most recover fully when treatment begins early and is properly monitored.

💡Dosage adjustments based on FIP type (wet, dry, neurological, ocular) improve success even in severe cases.

These are not just numbers—they represent individual lives saved and families reunited with their once-doomed pets.

What Cat Owners Should Know Before Starting Treatment?

For cat owners who already understand FIP but are still unsure about starting treatment, it is normal to feel overwhelmed. FIP is a serious and emotional diagnosis, and while treatment works, it takes time and commitment. 

Here are some key things to keep in mind:

1. Time is critical – The earlier the treatment is started, the better the prognosis. Delaying treatment often results in worsening symptoms and reduced chances of full recovery.

2. Treatment requires precision – The dosage must be calculated based on your cat’s weight, type of FIP (wet, dry, ocular, or neurological), and response over time. Professional guidance is strongly recommended.

3. Support exists – Thousands of owners have successfully navigated FIP treatment. Online support groups, compassionate veterinary professionals, and platforms like BasmiFIP India assist in the treatment journey.
