Six adult specific-pathogen-free cats were inoculated intraperitoneally with a cell culture-adapted strain of feline infectious peritonitis virus. Plasma samples were evaluated for antithrombin-III (AT-III) activities at post-inoculation days (PID) 0,4, and 11 and at termination on PID 16 (1 cat) or 21 (5 cats). Other hemostatic values evaluated were activated partial thromboplastin times, pro-thrombin times, thrombin times, fibrinogen, platelet counts, and fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products. Antithrombin-III activity remained within normal or above normal range (89 to 246%) in all cats, with the exception of one cat on Pid 4, 11, and 16 or 21 was 98, 162, and 130%, respectively. On PID 4 and 16 or 21, results of coagulation screening tests indicated that all cats had disseminated intravascular coagulation. Histologically, cats also had severe fibrinonecrotizing thrombovasculitis.
