My dog had a fever during a C-section delivery. A month later she had a little brown, foul-smelling discharge that stopped after 3 days of medication, and now there is occasional white discharge from her rear. What does this mean?

Treatment depends on severity—mild cases are simple.
How long can a cat with FIP survive?
Without timely treatment, a cat with FIP usually survives only 1 to 2 months. The disease causes severe abdominal fluid buildup with lethargy and appetite loss, and later breathing difficulty and death. Dry FIP shows few early signs but progresses fast. With prompt use of drugs like GS-441524, a cat can recover and live normally.
