Just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words, and prayers, and good vibes, and help, while we work trying to get Tooter better. She is not doing well. Sh'e been on the PI for two weeks now, and she is now having significantly more issues than when this first started. Her kidneys are...

Hi Stephen, Yes, I do believe it is dry FIP. So far, there is no sign of fluid accumulation. There is enlargement of her liver and kidneys, and her eyes are affected as well. Thanks again to everyone for your well-wishes -- taking it day by day right now. As long as she is doing well, eating...

An update on Tooter's status: The results of the toxoplasmosis are in -- she's negative, so the vet says this basically confirms the FIP diagnosis, and we will move forward with treating her for that. The good news -- I no longer have to force her to take the antibiotics twice a day! We have...

Thanks Andrya -- I have always believed that prayer and good thoughts have a very powerful effect, the good vibes travel across the world, and do effect change.

Sorry, meant to include more information on the pain issue. Vet gave me prednisone eyedrops for her, which should help with any pain she may be having in her eyes. She doesn't want to use a systemic pain killer, as from what she knows, it's not advisable with the current treatments. Hopefully...

Just a follow-up: My vet did order additional tests, to test for the coronavirus. Should be in by the end of the week. We are proceeding now, on the concept that this is FIP. My vet seems very willing to keep an open mind; she doesn't have a lot of experience with FIP, but she is knowledgable on...

Thanks Quiet I do have the blood work results -- I'll scan and post them, have to go to a friends house to use their scanner :) Both the total protein, and the globulin are high Total protein is 12.1, globulin is 10.3 I'll switch to a damp cloth for her fever -- thanks for the tip, didn't think...

Hi, New to this forum, came looking for information/help/comradeship My sweetie Tooter has been tentatively diagnosed with FIP. She is one year old, and I am devastated. My vet ran some initial tests which she said give an 85% chance of this being FIP, but is now running another test to rule...
