Abstract
Feline Infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral systemic disease produced by a coronavirus (RNA) that often occurs in domestic cats. This disease has also been referred in wild cats and related in association to other viral diseases, such as, feline panleucopenia, feline leukemia and coronavirus enteritis. In the present work, the clinical signs, laboratory findings and pathologic anatomy from three cases were studied. The clinical signs and laboratory findings induced to the diagnostic of FIP supported by the morphological changes observed in organs and tissues. This allowed to establish the diagnostic of this disease and its association with other pathological processes reported, such as parasitic gastritis and colangiohepatitis (Platynosomiasis) associated with hepatic colangiocarcinoma.
