GS-441524 is a promising antiviral compound primarily used to manage and treat feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a once-deemed fatal illness affecting cats worldwide. FIP develops from a mutation of the feline coronavirus, transforming it from a mild infection to a severe, systemic disease that can damage multiple organs and, if left untreated, often leads to death. GS-441524, derived from the same research behind remdesivir (a treatment for human viral infections), works by interfering with the viral replication process within cells, effectively slowing down and eventually halting the progression of the virus. The treatment is available in oral tablet form or as an injectable solution, and the protocol usually involves daily administration over a 12-16 week period, depending on the cat’s severity and response.
The drug has gained significant recognition for its ability to induce remission in many cases of FIP, including both the effusive (wet) and non-effusive (dry) forms of the disease. While still awaiting FDA approval, GS-441524 has become accessible through international suppliers, making it an important option for veterinarians and cat owners confronting FIP. Despite the costs and need for careful dosing, GS-441524 has become a lifeline for cats with FIP, offering hope and measurable outcomes in a disease area with few alternatives.

Diagnosing FIP is challenging and often involves a combination of clinical signs, laboratory tests, and ruling out other diseases. Common diagnostic steps include:
1. Blood tests: Elevated protein levels, high white blood cell count, and low albumin-to-globulin ratio.
2. Imaging: Ultrasound or X-rays to detect fluid accumulation.
3. Fluid analysis: Testing the fluid from the abdomen or chest for elevated protein levels and specific cell types.
4. Biopsy: Histopathological examination of affected tissues can provide a definitive diagnosis.
