I lost a kitty to FIP. There is no cure for it, so I hope your kitty doesn't have it! I was told to keep my FIP kitty separate from the others, but have since learned that it is not necessary to separate them.

The blood test can indicate FIP, but I don't think there are conclusive tests. What kind of symptoms does your kitty have?

i brought her in to the vet's as she had some diarrhea , which has stoped , one of my cat's had been being sick for the last week or so , found out it was fluffy , no more sickness since monday though , and her belly is like a pot bellied , they did a needle test thing to make sure there was no fluid in there and luckly enough there wasn't .
they have put her on antibiotics , i have to go back friday for blood test , they seem 50% sure she does have it but 50% sure she dosn't , they told me to keep her away from the other cat's and kitten's , so i have made her up in my bedroom , she seem's happy in there at the moment , thanx for replying , also her eye's have slight blood shot on the white's , and they said her temp was very high
