Abstract

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) adalah penyakit viral yang bersifat fatal pada kucing akibat mutasi dari Feline Coronavirus, dengan gejala khas berupa akumulasi cairan (ascites) dalam rongga abdomen pada bentuk efusifnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis metode diagnosis dan efektivitas terapi pada kucing yang diduga terinfeksi FIP. Penelitian dilakukan di Klinik PND PET CARE, Bandung, pada 7 November hingga 16 Desember 2024. Metode yang digunakan meliputi anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik, serta pemeriksaan penunjang (rontgen, abdominocentesis, dan tes Rivalta). Objek penelitian adalah seekor kucing jantan ras Anggora berusia 3 tahun bernama Bulbul. Hasil pemeriksaan menunjukkan adanya akumulasi cairan di rongga abdomen dan hasil uji Rivalta positif yang menandakan cairan eksudat. Terapi suportif berupa pemberian furosemid, metronidazole, ornipural, dan molnuvirapir menunjukkan hasil positif dengan perbaikan kondisi klinis dan penurunan distensi abdomen.

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal viral disease in cats caused by a mutation of the Feline Coronavirus, characterized by fluid accumulation (ascites) in the abdominal cavity in its effusive form. This study aimed to analyze diagnostic methods and treatment effectiveness for a cat suspected of having effusive FIP. The research was conducted at PND PET CARE Clinic in Bandung from November 7 to December 16, 2024. The methods included anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting diagnostics such as radiography, abdominocentesis, and Rivalta test. The research subject was a 3-year-old male Angora cat named Bulbul. Examination revealed ascitic fluid accumulation and a positive Rivalta test result, indicating exudate. Supportive therapy using furosemide, metronidazole, ornipural, and molnupiravir showed positive results with clinical improvement and reduced abdominal distension Keywords: Abdominocentesi, feline infectious peritonitis, rivalta test
