My little 8 months old Twinkie was put down just a little while ago due to FIP. We fought it for almost 2 months and as it looked like she was getting better she was getting worse. If this is dry FIP it will be impossible to diagnose unless biopsy is done. My kitten had dry FIP originally...

Thank you everyone for your responses. My husband works from home today so I already bothered him few times today. He said that Marbles came out from under the bed was lying down near the bed. He tried to give him treats he eat a few but was not that interested. Also he found his brother...

My cat Marbles has been excessively grooming himself. I think it's after we cleaned our carpet but I am not sure. I am assuming that's when he started that because that's the only change we had since I have had him. Yesterday my husband took Marbles to the clinic and the vet gave him steroid...

Thank you Sharky for the post and your PM. You are very kind I really appreciate your message. I will post something soon. I don't think I can write that right now but in time I will. She was very special girl to us. We thought Twinkie will be with us forever but that didn't seem to be the...

Hi Everyone, Sorry I have not posted this earlier I was trying to first deal with this myself. Our little Twinkie was confirmed with FIP. By the end she ended up with wet FIP so I had the vets do all kinds of tests and it was 100% confirmed. Twinkie was getting worse by the day even though...

Well my kitten has almost identical symptoms and her blood test showed very little blood elevation which right away the vet said Corona Virus. After I brought her to another vet Twinkie's blood test was normal without elevation. So the vet said it's possible it could be "FIP" but they are not...

I second FIP or FECV. My kitten Twinkie is going through similar problems. Everything started with her having loose stool with blood in it and next thing I know she would not eat and feel miserable. I have had her in and out of hospital several times she is now home under my care with Vet's...

Just thought I would post a quick update on Twinkie. After we brought her home she was doing better and her temp was normal but then two days later the same thing over again. I went back to the vet’s office on Saturday and he gave me injections and fluids administered through IV. I thought I...

I am not in expert in cats as I only owned mine for close to a year. However I have seen a lot of barns and cats that live at barns. I have seen some barns that have really nice places for cats to live in such as club house and an indoor arena's. However most barn cats I have seen have to get...

Thank you everyone for all your vibes they seem to be working. Twinkie is now home and is eating well, seem to be herself and even spunky which she normally doesn't get. She has been overly affectionate I am assuming she is happy to be home. I had measured her temp and it's 102.3 which is way...

Thank you guys so much for the healing vibes please keep them coming Twinkie really really needs them. I spoke to my vet this morning and he said TWinkie can go home today but with a list of instructions. I am going to probably separate her for a while until she feels better. I am worried...

The vet said it is enteric coronavirus not FIP. I am hoping we can get her out of this. I am not going to give up on her she is going to get a fair chance in life and hopefully with TLC and God's help she can get through this. There is a reason why this kitten endedup in my hands and I don't...

Does anyone know how long does it take for a kitten to get over FICV? My vet said it depends on her keeping the temp down but he was really not sure how long it will take. All I want to know will she be able to live a happy long life with this Virus? I asked the vet if this was for sure FICV...

Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for your posts and vibes. I just spoke to the vet and here is what they found in Twinkie. She has Feline Enteric Coronavirus (FECV). The vet feels optimistic about her recovery but would like to keep her hospitalized for another day. He thinks she has 80% for...

I was hoping to take her home today but it doesn't look like it will happen. The vet said Twinkie tried eating but it was very little so they don't even consider that an improvement. They said she is not moving around just laying in one spot. They will get her temp later today before 5:00pm...
