My cat was just diagnosed with feline coronavirus. Upon researching here, it seems like I shouldn't necessarily be panicking and that he will likely be alright. He does show symptoms, though: he sneezes, he has eye discharge, he has diarrhea which has also been attributed to giardia, which he's about to go on medication for.
Does the fact he's showing symptoms mean anything in relation to his likelihood of developing FIP? He's almost 5 months old right now, and isn't lethargic or dropping a ton of weight or anything. He eats and drinks fine.
I was going to go out of town for the holidays, and rather than having someone come and check on him and now give him medicine, I was going to bring him with. He hasn't been too stressed in car rides previously, but this would be about an hour one way, to a new place with another (adult) cat. We were going to quarantine him into one room anyway, but reading makes me see that FECV requires cleaning after the cat is gone. Is it smart to bring him along on this trip, or recommended?
