My fiance just called after getting back from the vet. She brought our 9 month old boy snarfie in becuase of some eye discharge and swelling of his lower eyelid.
The vet said that obviously it was an infection and gave us some eyedrops to give him for 6 days. He also said that if it doesn't clear itself up that we have to take him back for bloodwork to test for FIP.
How common is FIP? I did some reading, and it didn't seem ALL that common, but the fact that he mentioned it is getting me all worried considering it is fatal.
