When a cat begins treatment for FIP , it's completely natural for its owner to feel worried, scared, or have many questions. Throughout Latin America, we hear the same thing over and over again:
"I want to do everything I can to make sure my cat is okay."
The good news is that most cats respond quickly after starting treatment, and the support you provide day by day at home has a huge impact on their recovery.

Based on thousands of successful cases internationally and in the region, here are four essential tips to accompany your cat during its FIP treatment.
1. Create a calm and comfortable space for recovery
Cats undergoing treatment may feel more tired, stressed, or sensitive to noise. A quiet space helps reduce stress and allows their body to focus on healing.
What you can do:
-
Prepare a warm, quiet, and protected area.
-
Reduce loud noises or excessive activity at home
-
Prevent other animals from bothering your cat
-
Place soft blankets or a comfortable bed.
-
Maintain a stable daily routine
A safe and calm environment promotes physical and emotional recovery.
2. Support your liver, kidneys, and overall well-being with supplements
During FIP treatment, the cat's body—especially the liver and kidneys —works harder than usual. It's common to see changes in appetite, dehydration, or variations in blood tests.
The right supplements can help stabilize the body and improve well-being during recovery.
Recommended supplements (frequently used by CuraPIF tutors)
-
LiverRx For cats with elevated liver enzymes, reduced appetite, or liver stress.
-
KidneyRx helps maintain hydration, kidney function, and urinary comfort. Especially useful for older cats or those prone to dehydration.
These supplements do not replace antiviral medication , but they offer important support to help the body respond better to treatment.
How to use them safely
-
Consult your veterinarian before starting any new products.
-
Record daily appetite, hydration, energy and weight
-
Administer the supplements one hour before meals.
-
Maintain the complete treatment plan without interruption.
When the body is well supported, the response to treatment is usually faster and more stable.
3. Monitor your cat's progress every day
In the treatment of FIP, the small details matter . Observing your cat daily allows you to better detect if it is improving, stagnating, or needs adjustments.
