Introduction
Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is one of the deadliest diseases cats can face, striking an estimated 1–2% of cats worldwide. When a cat is diagnosed, many pawrents feel helpless. Herbal remedies or random medications won’t work—the only proven solution is antiviral therapy that targets the disease at its root.
But here comes the hardest part: FIP treatment is notoriously expensive. For years, countless families had to face the painful reality that they simply couldn’t afford to save their cats.
That’s where MolnuFIP with EIDD-1931 changes everything. Proven effective, this treatment can bring cats back to health in as little as 4–8 weeks—and it costs only around $60, making hope finally accessible.
The even better news? Treatment can be managed at home. This guide will walk you through every step—how to give the medication, track your cat’s progress, handle side effects, and create a supportive environment for recovery.
Why At-Home FIP Treatment Matters
At-home treatment isn’t just convenient—it’s often what makes recovery possible.
Less stress for your cat: No more stressful car rides or clinic visits.
Consistency: You can give the medication at the same time every day, without interruption.
Lower costs: Fewer hospital stays mean the overall treatment remains affordable.
And with oral solutions like MolnuFIP, at-home care is both safe and precise. For many families, it’s the first time FIP treatment feels not only possible but practical.
Step 1: Giving the Medication the Right Way
Antivirals must be given exactly the right amount to work effectively. Skipping doses or giving them late can let the virus fight back.
Best Practices for Oral MolnuFIP
Give the medication at the same time daily.
Administer with a small meal to support absorption.
Never skip or reduce a dose—consistency is critical.
If vomiting happens within one hour, repeat the dose.
Step 2: Tracking Your Cat’s Progress
Watching your cat slowly return to their playful, affectionate self is the most rewarding part of treatment. But it’s also essential to monitor progress carefully.
What to Track:
Weight: Weigh weekly. Gaining or maintaining weight is a good sign.
Appetite & Energy: Cats often eat more and perk up within 3–7 days.
Temperature: Use a digital thermometer. A persistent fever is a red flag.
Behavior: Grooming, play, and socializing are signs of recovery.
Step 3: Handling Side Effects
Most cats tolerate MolnuFIP well, but mild side effects can happen.
Possible Side Effects:
Digestive upset (vomiting or soft stool)
Mild lethargy in the first few days
Rare loss of appetite
How to Manage Them:
Offer smaller, frequent meals.
Keep your cat hydrated at all times.
Contact your vet if issues persist or worsen.
Step 4: Supporting Comfort and Recovery
Healing isn’t just about medicine. It’s also about creating a space where your cat feels safe and cared for.
How to Support Recovery:
Provide a quiet, cozy area free from stress.
Ensure fresh water is always available.
Feed a high-quality, easily digestible diet.
Ask your vet if supplements could help.
Step 5: Working With Your Veterinarian
Even if most of the treatment is at home, your vet remains an essential partner.
Diagnosis must always be confirmed by a licensed vet.
Blood tests every 4–6 weeks help measure response.
Post-treatment monitoring ensures long-term remission.
Your veterinarian isn’t just there at the beginning—they’re your ally throughout recovery.
Final Takeaway
Managing FIP treatment at home is possible, safe, and effective with oral antivirals like MolnuFIP. By sticking to the treatment plan, monitoring progress daily, and working closely with your vet, you give your cat the best chance at long-term recovery.
What was once a hopeless diagnosis is now a journey back to life—for thousands of cats, and hopefully for yours too.
