    Rupert is dying from FIP

    I am sick with sadness. The vet is 95% sure that Rupert has the dry form of FIP. I found out yesterday. He is deteriorating before my eyes. Giving him his meds is like torturing him.....I'm not sure how long I can do that to him....especially since it won't even be able to save him. My eyes...
