FDA-APPROVE CAT FIP TREATMENT

This Senate resolution encourages the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve two specific drugs, GS-441524 and remdesivir, for treating feline infectious peritonitis in cats. The bill highlights that while these medications have shown high success rates in curing the disease, they currently lack official FDA approval for veterinary use, leading to inconsistent product quality from unofficial sources. By formally requesting FDA approval, the resolution aims to ensure safer and more reliable access to these treatments for cat owners in Illinois. Copies of the resolution are sent to relevant state representatives and the FDA to advocate for this regulatory change.
