In this situation, care and treat according to the cat’s symptoms, and it is necessary to choose another professional hospital for a recheck before deciding on FPV treatment. Because cats infected with FPV and coronavirus generally do not recover on their own so quickly, the earlier hospital’s test may have been inaccurate, or the cat may have no actual infection but showed similar symptoms causing a false-positive result.
Therefore, it is recommended to recheck the FPV virus and do a stool exam to see if there is a parasite infection or gut flora imbalance.
