About 2 months ago my dad brought a new kitten home. He was about 6 months or so. He was living in the middle of a construction zone for a new school. My dad and his employees had been feeding the kitty everyday, but when it was time to move worksite location he felt bad leaving the kitty there, so he brought him home to me.
A week after Mitchell living with me, i took him to the vet neutered him and had him tested for Feline aids and leukimia, it was negative.
Now fast forward one month later, i notice he has a small ball on one of his little thighs (swollen lymph node i assume). The ball is gone now. Yet, a once playful kitten now sleeps all day. He eats as normal, but seems to lack the energy he once had. I'm a bit concerned because he shares living space with 3 of my other kids.
I've been reading FIP symptoms online, and I'm worried that my new baby has it. I know it's fatal...... I'm just hoping my other 3 don't have it. I've read that it's quite difficult to diagnos this disease. I once picked up a kitty who died from leukimia and one from feline aids so i'm terrified
My cats mean the world to me
without them I would be miserable .
