I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so challenging because the medicine is still hard to get. I can’t image how it felt to lose your sweet soul, Darcy. I hope there is a day that vets are able to prescribe it.
There is a wonderful rescue near me that supported me through this ordeal. These FIP...
Thank you for your thoughtful reply! His anemia is resolved and his organ values are back to normal. By the time it was caught he began going into liver failure and his kidneys were rock hard.
I’m a big believer in food as the biggest component to health. I’m attempting to get him on a raw...
Hello All,
I have a kitten who is about a year old, unfortunately in March he was misdiagnosed with IMHA and within four hours of euthanasia, after multiple hospital visits and rounds of blood work was finally diagnosed with FIP; by an amazing vet who squeezed us in the same day. We have...
Update:
My precious boy was diagnosed with Immune-Medicated Hemolytic Anemia. There were a couple outliers on his bloodwork but this is our best bet for now. Thankfully, he is home tonight. He is on a combination of meds to give him the best shot at recovery. We have to keep him extra quiet...
Hi, thank you all for your replies so far. About a half and hour after I made this post he looked painful. I panicked and now we are at an emergency animal hospital. All vitals are good. They are running bloodwork now. I’m hoping that show something. I’m a little worried that the anxiety may be...
Hello,
I have a 10 month old kitten that is sleeping a lot and has become less interested in food/play. I'm not sure I'd use the word lethargic yet. He has had quite the medical history already seeing three different vets in his life all for pneumonia. It's been four months since we had had any...
He is on top of all vaccines. I can’t imagine a cat without flea/tick prevention in our area. Ticks are everywhere unfortunately. He has a holster harness that he does well in. He has a couple others but this one is easiest to put on (and looks the most comfortable). If you have a better...
Hello, last week I posted about my indoor/outdoor cat moving inside only. We decided to try. One commenter stated that it was wrong to take your leash trained indoor cat for walks outside. Can somebody please explain why this is the case. Important information because last time I wasn’t detailed...
Thank you for your reply. I agree. I think I’d like to get him inside regardless due to his age. It sounds almost unbelievable but I have a lot of time to devote to my pets and making them happy. I just know that I’m only a human. Therefore, I wonder how much more important the dog-cat...
All of my school and work is online so he will have endless attention and play. He’s very demanding wouldn’t have it any other way haha. The apartment has a communal hallway. He’d have to get through 3 doors to get outside. We have a second floor balcony. We don’t like bugs, so we decided to go...
Thank you for all of the links they are helpful. I realized I forgot to add some important information. My education and job is remote so I’m home all day everyday. Fortunately time isn’t a concern for me. My workload is dramatically decreasing. He is an aging cat. If I’m being honest, I would...
Hello,
I have a beloved 10 year old tabby that has mostly been indoor/outdoor. I found him abandon on the streets at only four weeks old. At the time the parents said we can keep him for tonight but, have to take him to the shelter tomorrow. Well, we took him to the vet and he stayed in our...
