Cyprus allows human Covid medications to be used on cats to fight virus mutation
Veterinarians in Cyprus have lauded a government decision to allow its stock of human coronavirus medication to be used on cats to fight a local mutation of a feline virus that has killed thousands of animals on the Mediterranean island.
The country’s veterinary association said in a statement that it had petitioned the government for access to the medication at “reasonable prices” from the beginning of this year, when the mutation that causes lethal feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) began to noticeably crop up in the island’s cat population.
