Hey everyone, ⚡⚡⚡

🏥🐈🐕I wanted to share with you all a recent case I had in my clinic involving a cat who was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). This disease is caused by a coronavirus and unfortunately, it's often fatal. However, in recent years, a drug has been developed that has shown promising results in treating this disease.

💊💉The catch is that this drug is illegal in many countries, including ours. As a result, many people are forced to turn to the black market to obtain it for their sick pets. This raises an important issue about the free market and the regulation of drugs.

💰🧬🧫On one hand, the free market is meant to encourage competition and innovation in order to bring new products and services to consumers. However, when it comes to drugs, the stakes are much higher. These products can mean the difference between life and death for both humans and animals, and as such, they need to be carefully regulated to ensure safety and efficacy.

🙊I understand the frustration that many people feel when they can't access a drug that could potentially save their pet's life. However, I also believe that we need to be cautious when it comes to unregulated drugs. We don't know what kind of quality control or testing has been done on these products, and they could potentially be dangerous or even deadly.

⚡⚡So, what do you all think about this issue? Do you believe that drugs like this should be more readily available, even if they're not yet approved by regulatory agencies? Or do you think that stricter regulation is necessary to ensure the safety and efficacy of these products? Let's start a discussion in the comments below. ⚡⚡

🐱And, in the meantime, please keep this little guy in your thoughts. He's currently receiving treatment and we're hoping for the best.
