4 Essential Tips to Support Your Cat During FIP Medication (BasmiFIP Philippines Guide)

When your cat starts FIP medication, it’s normal to feel worried, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next. Many Filipino cat parents tell us the same thing:

“I just want to make sure I’m doing everything right for my fur baby.”

The good news is that most cats begin to improve within days after starting antiviral medication — and your daily care at home plays a huge role in their recovery.

Here are 4 essential tips to help your cat stay comfortable, safe, and strong throughout their FIP medication journey.

4 Essential Tips to Support Your Cat During FIP Medication

1. Create a Quiet and Comfortable Resting Space

Cats undergoing FIP medication often feel weaker, more tired, and easily stressed.A calm environment helps their body focus on healing.

What you can do:

• Prepare a warm, quiet spot where your cat can rest peacefully

• Reduce noise, household activity, and sudden movements

• Keep other pets from disturbing them

• Provide soft blankets or a comfortable bed

• Maintain a consistent daily routine

A relaxed cat recovers better — emotional comfort matters just as much as physical comfort.

2. Support the Liver, Kidneys, and Overall Wellness With Supplements

During FIP medication, the liver and kidneys work extra hard. Your cat may experience appetite loss, mild dehydration, or changes in lab results.

Supplements can help keep your cat stable and comfortable during the process.

Recommended supplements (commonly used by BasmiFIP PH customers):

• LiverRxHelpful for cats with elevated liver enzymes, low appetite, or liver stress.

• KidneyRxSupports hydration, kidney comfort, and overall stability — especially for older cats or those prone to dehydration.

These supplements do not replace antiviral medication, but they support the body so your cat can handle the medication better.

How to use supplements safely:

• Check with your vet before introducing anything new

• Track appetite, hydration, weight, and energy daily

• Stay consistent with the full 84-day medication protocol

A strong and supported body responds better to FIP medication.

3. Monitor Your Cat’s Condition Every Day

In FIP medication, small changes can mean a lot.Daily monitoring helps you see improvements, catch warning signs early, and communicate clearly with BasmiFIP or your vet.
