My experience with a female vet, a few years ago, tops all the stories written here. I had purchased a Ragdoll kitten at a cattery in Waycross, Georgia. After a few weeks she started to act up and the vet said there were clear indications that the kitten might have FIP. At the time I did not...

Thanks, JCat My boy will be two days tomorrow away from me, at the vet's clinic. Most likely he did not eat and the poor thing looks emaciated. Tomorrow is a big day at the specialist. Thanks again.

Thanks, BookTiger. Tomorrow is going to be a big day for Clancy (and for me) Sometimes we get so desperate that we expect vets to be able to walk on water. My heart is heavy but at least I am trying all possibilities to save my sweet boy. I had a conversation with the daughter of a friend who...

Thanks, Yosemite. I still have one more card to play. I am taking my sweet little guy to a specialist. I am only asking for a little miracle.

Thanks, PushyLady. Clancy is a very noble boy. If the worst should happen, he would leave a tremendous void in my life and in the life of Chloe, his companion of several years. She is already missing him --Clancy is at the vet's clinic over the weekend-- and she is looking for him all over the...

Thanks, KittenKiya! I do believe that animals are better than some so-called human beings and I also believe that pet lovers are good people.

Thanks, Pat & Alix. I am naive so I will be taking my boy to a specialist on Monday. This is so heart breaking. I have lost pets in the past and it has always been very sad. I still hope for a small miracle. Thanks again.

Hello, everybody -- You might recall my original thread "Can someone, please shed some light..." about my male cat drooling and not being quite himself. I also expressed my fears about having brought to him the dreaded FIP virus on my clothes and shoes after visiting with a friend whose cat...

I just found this board and think it's great. We recently (one week ago) adopted 2 5 month old kitties. We brought them home and on the second day one of them had a lot of eye discharge, he shuts it more than the other one, and eye goopies. We called the shelter and they said it could be him...

KattieMae -- Don't feel guilty about not having had a postmortem procedure on your precious little kid. Most likely, after the vet looked into the situation, came to the conclusion that there was no chances of recovery from whatever the poor little creature died. I would not want see myself in...

Thanks for your message, JungleButterfly. Interesting input but I take it that if the infected cat lived in your brother's room he did not share sleeping quarters, food and water bowls, litterboxes, etc. with the others. He was isolated from the rest, so to speak. Am I right? Regards.

Thanks, KatieMae1277. Matters have taken a strange twist now (in case you have followed this thread from the start) Last night, my female cat --a long time companion of Clancy, my male cat-- dissapeared for hours. I could not find her anywhere in the house. They are house cats, never allowed...

Thanks again, Gayef. The name of my little guy is Clancy. Tomorrow is a big day for him at the vet's office. I hope a dental problem is all there is.

Thanks, Booktigger for your input. Tomorrow is Clancy's day with his vet. We shall see ...
