It is generally recommended that breeding is stopped for six to nine months following a case of FIP. Consideration should be given to reducing the risk factors for FIP - Restrict the number and frequency of litters of kittens Segregate the cats in small, stable groups Select against individuals/lines which produce cases of FIP Avoid exposure to multiple concurrent stresses rehoming weaning vaccination neutering Ensure maintenance of good health - address any concurrent health problems Maintain high standards of hygiene - particularly attention to litter trays/feeding bowls Consider early weaning/isolation Serology is of questionable value in such cases. There is no convincing evidence that it will aid in predicting the likelihood of development of FIP or excretion of coronavirus. Other cats from a household which has had a recent case of FIP will almost certainly be seropositive.

You see, the thing about FIP is that every cat that comes in contact with it and actually gets it forms FIP into its own strain. Some will get it full-blown (which is FIP) and some never actually get the full-blown version of this, which I think is FELVC.
