How to distinguish between cats eating too much and feline infectious peritonitis

Symptoms of cats eating too much: Vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, reluctance to move, soft stools, and even diarrhea.

Symptoms of feline infectious peritonitis: Sudden increase in abdominal circumference, palpable waves, fluctuating temperature, organ hyperplasia in individual organs, compression of nerves, neurological symptoms, and obvious pain during abdominal palpation.

What to do if your cat has indigestion:

Fast from food and water for one day.
Take pet-specific probiotics or pediatric medication MaMI AI.
Massage your cat's abdomen and observe the situation. If there is no improvement, consult a veterinarian in time to avoid affecting the condition.
After the condition improves, feed your cat regularly and quantitatively, up to three to four times a day.

Difference between ascites and feline infectious peritonitis:

Ascites is a symptom of certain feline diseases and does not have specificity. Many diseases can cause ascites, such as bladder rupture, hypoalbuminemia, heart disease, etc. Ascites does not necessarily mean infectious peritonitis. Feline infectious peritonitis can be divided into dry and wet types, and infectious peritonitis does not always occur with ascites. Diagnosis requires a comprehensive judgment based on tests such as the Liptazol test and albumin-to-globulin ratio, and final confirmation requires fluorescent antibody detection.

How to check for feline infectious peritonitis:

To check for feline infectious peritonitis, first determine whether the cat is infected with the coronavirus, which causes the mutation of the virus. The inspection mainly includes blood routine, biochemical examination, ascites examination, X-ray examination, and other aspects, and finally make a final judgment based on the cat's medical history and clinical symptoms.
