Why Starting FIP Treatment Early Matters

Early intervention with GS-441524 significantly improves outcomes in cats diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).

When it comes to Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), time is of the essence. Once clinical symptoms appear, beginning antiviral treatment early can make all the difference in your cat’s chance of survival. Starting GS-441524 within the first one to two weeks after symptoms show can lead to a much higher rate of recovery.

Unfortunately, many cat owners in Australia and New Zealand delay treatment due to uncertainty, financial concerns, or misinformation. This delay can allow the disease to progress into advanced stages, making recovery more difficult or even impossible.

Why the Timing of FIP Treatment Is So Important

FIP is a progressive disease. Once it becomes active in a cat's body, it can move quickly—especially in its wet (effusive) form or when neurological symptoms are present. Early treatment not only gives the antiviral medication a better chance to stop viral replication but also prevents the virus from spreading to vital organs like the brain and eyes.

Waiting too long means the virus has already done significant damage, which GS-441524 cannot reverse. The drug is highly effective at stopping the replication of the FIP virus, but it cannot undo permanent damage once it has occurred.

The Critical Window: First 1–2 Weeks After Symptoms

In both clinical studies and real-world cases across Australia, New Zealand, and other parts of the world, we’ve seen that cats who begin treatment within 7 to 14 days of symptom onset have the highest recovery rates.

If you notice signs of FIP — such as a swollen belly, persistent fever, lethargy, weight loss, or changes in eye or neurological function — do not wait for further symptoms to develop. Each day lost reduces the likelihood of full recovery.

Delaying Treatment = Higher Risk of Complications

Cats that start treatment late often require longer courses of GS-441524, higher dosages, and more supportive care. In many cases, owners are forced to escalate treatment to neurological-level doses, which are more expensive and physically taxing for the cat.

Moreover, some cats may become too weak to survive, even with aggressive intervention. This is a heartbreaking outcome that can often be avoided with prompt diagnosis and immediate action.

The Good News: Full Recovery Is Possible

The earlier the treatment begins, the greater the likelihood of your cat making a full recovery and returning to a happy, healthy life. GS-441524 is not experimental anymore — it has helped tens of thousands of cats worldwide, including throughout Oceania.

Veterinarians and pet owners in the region are seeing success stories daily, and the science behind the treatment is well-established.

How fast does FIP progress in cats?

FIP can advance rapidly, especially the wet form, or when it affects the brain or eyes. That’s why early detection and treatment are critical.

What are the early signs of FIP in cats in Australia or NZ?

Common early signs include persistent fever, loss of appetite, lethargy, swollen abdomen, and eye inflammation. These can appear subtly, so monitor any behavioural changes.
