A friend of mine who has treated a number of FIP kittens said it was going to be available as 50 mg pills which won’t work for small kittens or for those who need the injectable medication. Kittens doses need to be adjusted as they gain weight. It’s a start. I could not see an article in your link.

@Suzanne & Darcy Your friend is right. They won’t be compounding it. That is not good with kittens not being able to take it. So folks will still need underground treatment. Thanks.

It can be compounded in states that allow it after all.

Do you know which states will allow it?

It's such a relief that there's finally some hope for those facing this terrible, terrible illness.

My vet last week mentioned that they can now get Remdesivir. She was thrilled. So there's a source in Canada too.
