Lilo died last night. We had been making her as comfortable as we could and she seemed to be improving a bit before yesterday but it all happened too fast. I got her cremated today and am in the process of cleaning everything in case it was FIP. Thank you for all of your support, I really do...

So, long story short this week has been a tough one. I have had to rush little lilo to the vet a couple of times for dehydration issues. She won't drink water at all. I have been obsessively looking at things to do for her water intake and have done them all, even sub q shots which have made...

Well, the vet basically just told me to keep doing what I'm doing. It was about a 20 minute visit so that's good. Her temp is normal, she is draining the mucous from her nose, and is moving around really well is what the vet said. She told me she is confident lilo will pull through this. Now...

Even more good neww! Lilo is continuing to drink water and before her antibiotics this morning she actually ate some from a saucer! Her mucus seems to be breaking up pretty well and she is kneeding and purring when I sit with her. She also is wanting out of the bathroom bad, but I can't blame...

That'd such a relief! I can't wait to see how she does after tomorrow's dosage

Im very hopeful for her. She still won't eat but is getting near the food and sniffing it. She drank a ton of water,I couldn't believe it. I just bought her a cool air humidifier so I hope that clears up some of her breathing and Im taking both kittens to the vet tomorrow to get them checked...

Update on Lilo: she is drinking water by herself!!! And she is purring!! I had to go to work for 4 hours so she was alone in a humid bathroom and we just got home to see her. She immediately jumped on my shoulder when I sat down and started purring. I know I shouldn't be too excited just yet but...

Thank you for the advice. I was actually doing the shower and the burping thing since yesterday, i wasn't sure if it would help anything it was just an easier way to help her cough. I'm glad that I've been at least doing thay right. I have her in a box with a bunch of blankets and I keep her in...

I needed that, because the vet was pretty cynical and is staying pretty guarded about it. He said it's a life or death situation. Reading on thay link describes her to a tee. The er vet sent all the results to my regular vet so i think I will take her tomorrow and get her opinion on it. I know...

Thank you, I love this site because of all of the amazing support you guys give. If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have raised mac to be a healthy little kitten. I just need some positive vibes and hopefully all will be okay

And that does make sense about the older kitten and play. I wish I would have thought of that, but my boyfriend fell in love with lilo and now I have too, she is a sweetheart and the sad thing is that mac was actually starting to get along with lilo before I had to separate them. They really...

He also isnt ruling out FIP yet but from what I have read she hasn't shown any signs of it. I'm terrified she isn't going to make it but I'm trying my best to make her comfortable and to stay positive. I'm also really afraid mac will get infected too and I really cannot handle that since I...

The first time I took her to the vet she didn't really do badly. The cough wasn't present and she was breathing okay just swallowing a lot so the vet didn't think anything of it. She gave her a mild antibiotic in case of uri and told me to call her if it got worse. It did get worse the next day...

Thank you for that and yes I just put her in the bathroom after running the hot water for a few minutes, I will probably get a dehumidifier for her soon. I know it's cheesy but I'm playing classical piano music for her so hopefully she sleeps because she doesn't like being alone. The vet has...

I took her yo the vet this evening and she has pneumonia. I'm devestated, we've only had her for two days and already she has a life threatening illness. How do I go about keeping my other kitten of the same age from getting sick. How do I separate them and still give Lilo the care she needs...
