He has been going, just not as much as usual. I will pick up some miralax tonight and follow your advice. In the mean time, the vet came yesterday and said he does look a tiny bit bloated but she's not leaning towards fip at all. Waiting for blood results just to be sure. And if all comes back...

My sweet Simon has has had axiety issues, now that I think of it, since I started working more 2 years ago. He is 3 years old. When I lived at my mothers, she told me he would cry in my room all day until I returned home. Then the over grooming started, but nothing too noticable. When I brought...

Complex is right. My first cat, Prince, gave me the complete oposite idea. In 12 years he's never had to go to the vet for anything but his annual visits. The 1 I am worried about now is only 2. So o suppose it would be the right time frame of putting on "grown up" weight, I can only hope...

My harrison and simon love their bellies rubbed and feet massaged. 128522 but Japedo will lure you in then try to take your hand off. They are all so very diferent128518

Thank you for the suggestion. I will certainly look into more immune boosting supplements. They have been on llysine thus far and this week has been hectic with the changing of food so I just gave up and got some friskies cans since the wet food I had them on was high protein low carb. Well be...

He is 10 lbs. Maybe 11 ..my home scale is a bit off. Still eating a lot. No vomiting or dihharea. I still worry though because I know how diferent each case can be. I feel I know in my heart where it came from. A rescue I brought in last summer. I try to think that she got it from harrison...

I actually did change thier diet, but it was the day I noticed the bloat.to high protein. Before that he was on lots of dry. I hear that can cause constipation too? Other than that.. how fast can a cat actually just gain normal weight?may Have been over feeding a bit the last month..

Belly still not down.. but not any bigger either :/ ... acting fine. Not losing weight or looking thinner as my harrison did. Does not feel like stool build up when I squeeze and feel around ...but I noticed less poop in the liter box lately and I also saw him in the box earlier and nothing...

@cataan I agree. I have no doubt in my mind that I made the right decision. Sometimes I just feel that I was selfish for holding out so long. Maybe had I come to terms sooner, he'd never go into shock and go more peacefully. I believed so much that I could save him. That he would be the rare...

Thank you all for your responses, each one was helpful and what I needed to hear, that was an especially hard day for me. @Di and Bob Thank you for your prayers

@MaggieMay Thank you for the response. I do trust my vet. It's just that as soon as I noticed I go into this "vortex" of anxiety and only see the worst possible. He hasn't gotten bigger and now I feel a little silly because I think he may just be getting fat. Hes always been small and slender so...

Traumatized from my experiences with fip, i pay very close attention to my remaining cats and notice every little thing. This morning my 3 boys were frantic as usual in a hurry to eat breakfast. They're known to beg and even help themselves (i have to kitten proof my cabinets). So crying and...

It's been almost 2 months since I've let go of my darling Harrison. The first few weeks were BAD. And then i stopped obsessing so much over the could have/ should haves. I started taking my dog out more again, tried to remember that we were ok when it was just us too. And we were just extra...

Here I go again, obsessing over FIP in the late hours. But I figured this would be the best place to ask and put an end to one of many searches on the subject... When my boy was sick with FIP I started him on polyprenal immunostimulant. Yea I know it is really used for dry FIP and Harrison...

"My heaven will not be my heaven if you are not there." I cried for you reading this because I know every feeling you've described all too well. I too am still mourning my harrison after 2 months crying for him every night.Fip has conpletely traumatized me. How lucky we were to have them and...

@foxxycat no one knows your babe better than you do. I always tell clients that are going through similar crisis- that when it is thier time, you just know. I'm sure you did all the best for her from what you felt was right in your heart at the time. Thank you for all your kind words and...

I'm so sorry for yout losses ): When I saw the holistic vet, she told me that had I brought Harrison to her from the start, she would have suggested never vaccinating him at all considering his history. I don't think his particular case had anything to do with it though since a whole year had...

@@Donutte no, thank you for taking time to read about and appreciate him (: I too never even heard of FIP until it happened to me. I work in an animal hospital 4 years now, my brother 8 years, and my mother 18! And this was a first for all of us. At the very least I would like to at least...

I'm glad! yes, he was very aware of his surroundings. He rarely bumped into things. There was one thing he would ALWAYS do-  if I were getting ready in the morning, he would frantically run up the stairs into the bathroom and jump on the toilet where he would "watch me".. but if it was opened ...
