Feline Coronavirus strain detected in UK

The strain has been identified as a new hybrid of existing feline coronavirus and canine coronavirus and is called F-CoV-23. Symptoms for the coronavirus include mild diarrheoa and lethargy, yet in the majority of cases cats display no symptoms at all, which makes it difficult to diagnose and treat. However, one in 10 cases mutates into the virus Feline Infection Peritonitis (FIP), which is often deadly and causes a loss of appetite, jaundice and anemia.
