Margaret also outlines accessible, cost-effective diagnostic pathways for suspected FIP, practical alternatives when first-line antivirals are unavailable, and the key clinical biomarkers clinicians can track to evaluate whether treatment courses can be safely shortened.\n\nFor further reading material please visit:\n\nFeline clinical virology\n\nABCD FIP diagnostic tool\n\nMachine learning for effusive FIP:\nDunbar DE, Babayan SA, Krumrie S, Rennie S, Waugh EM, Hosie MJ, Weir W.
