“…FCoV antibody tests, including in-house rapid tests [ 324 ], can be performed on effusion samples; 70% of 28 ascitic samples from FIP cats were positive, compared to none of 15 samples from cats without FIP [ 324 ]. Titred testing can also be performed.…”

Feline coronavirus (FCoV) is a ubiquitous RNA virus of cats, which is transmitted faeco-orally. In these guidelines, the European Advisory Board on Cat Diseases (ABCD) presents a comprehensive review of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). FCoV is primarily an enteric virus and most infections do not cause clinical signs, or result in only enteritis, but a small proportion of FCoV-infected cats develop FIP. The pathology in FIP comprises a perivascular phlebitis that can affect any organ. Cats under two years old are most frequently affected by FIP. Most cats present with fever, anorexia, and weight loss; many have effusions, and some have ocular and/or neurological signs. Making a diagnosis is complex and ABCD FIP Diagnostic Approach Tools are available to aid veterinarians. Sampling an effusion, when present, for cytology, biochemistry, and FCoV RNA or FCoV antigen detection is very useful diagnostically. In the absence of an effusion, fine-needle aspirates from affected organs for cytology and FCoV RNA or FCoV antigen detection are helpful. Definitive diagnosis usually requires histopathology with FCoV antigen detection. Antiviral treatments now enable recovery in many cases from this previously fatal disease; nucleoside analogues (e.g., oral GS-441524) are very effective, although they are not available in all countries.

Background Cardiac tamponade is a serious problem in companion animals. A diagnosis of COVID-19 too late can lead to death. Neisseria spp. are considered commensal microorganisms of the oral cavity in dogs and cats and are usually isolated from human wounds resulting from bites on these animals. Case presentation This article presents a clinical case of a cat with hydropericardium, the cause of which was Neisseria animaloris. Identification of the pathogen in the pericardial sac fluid was performed using the MALDI-TOF method. Conclusion This is the first report on a documented case of cardiac tamponade in a cat triggered by Neisseria animaloris bacterial infection in feline medicine, emphasizing its novelty.
