Sorry to hear about your kitty. I have been all over the board fighting this stupid disease since my Ace was visually diagnosed in '12, and it got him and nearly half of his kittens over the next year. I thought I was in the clear with a few scares until this last week. A kitten of 9mo...

Ok, gotta ask, what's the pepcid for? In my head antacid, but don't know how a cat would express heartburn. Is it for nausea?

I'll post a longer response with answers after I get to work, I have to spend the next 2 hours getting ready and trying to get food and fluids in her. But I wanted to update that everyone should grab their coats because by some miracle she let me give her 48mL of subq when I got home. She...

Got her to eat a little before leaving (late) for work, her belly got extremely hot. The hair hasn't grown back yet so I imagine it being a little warm to touch, but this is super hot. I don't think she has a fever. Weird

Well, I thought we were doing OK, but she threw up again this morning. I just can't do the fluids myself so she's dropped to 5.2 pounds, as best as I can guess with a human one decimal scale(weigh me with and without her). I have to work tonight through Monday morning 11 hr shifts, so she'll...

Thank you, I've searched all over and couldn't find the vet papers from when I'd done it before, they must have just told me and I forgot. Cowboy was a kitten when he had subq so it was less, but she's not much bigger than he was at the time. I haven't been able to do it yet, don't have...

Vet: oh just tilt head, pop the pill in the 'v' clamp mouth, move on, bobsuruncle. Me: you're a sorceress and that don't work for us mortals. Sigh, besides trying to talk myself into giving subq you just reminded me I have to give a mirtazapine. The one Friday disintegrated and was mostly...

Quick extra note; I fear muscle waste is started.

My 6yo calico Selene is now a week out of stiches and staples, after 2 in them for open pyometra OHE surgery. A mass was also removed, but not completely because vet said it was into or around a main vein. I couldn't afford sending it for testing, so don't know if cancer.(Question at *s if too...

Recovering from FIP?  A few months from your post, but is she still ok?  I'm just curious, I've been told over and over FIP is not recoverable.  Whether it's correct or not is another discussion(regardless I refuse to accept it and fight it til the end-long story).
