Steve Dale's Pet World

Turning the tide on FIP with Dr. Niels Pedersen


Listen Later

Legendary researcher Dr. Niels Pedersen, Professor Emeritus of Medicine & Epidemiology at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, is most known for playing a pivotal role in finding a treatment for feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). He tells the FIP story and how, with EveryCat Health Foundation, the disease, which was previously considered fatal, is now treatable, and with products compounded in the U.S. He also talks about his role in identifying ways to minimize extreme brachycephalism in dogs, as so many of those breeds, like French bulldogs and pugs, have increased in popularity. 

The new CATalyst Council State of the Cat report offers good news, that’s if we can get them to the veterinarian.
