Expert Answer

Hello, based on your description, your cat is suspected of having FIP (feline infectious peritonitis). We recommend taking it to a vet promptly for examination and further diagnosis. FIP is diagnosed through histopathology, and there is currently no specific drug that cures it.

If FIP is confirmed, the main treatment is medications with immune-suppressing and anti-inflammatory effects, plus broad-spectrum antibiotics to prevent bacterial infection, along with supportive therapy such as fluid therapy and thoracentesis.
