AMR & FIP treatment – Antivirals are antimicrobials too! (2024)

Overview

Feline infectious peritonitis is now a readily treatable disease. In this exciting era of feline medicine, let us learn from past mistakes and do our bit to promote responsible antimicrobial stewardship. Antivirals are often overlooked when we discuss antimicrobial resistance, with most of the focus on antibiotic use. In this webinar, Dr Coggins will review what we have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and discuss the current recommendations for antiviral use in the context of FIP treatment.
