I wanted to know if anyone else had any experiences with the disease Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). I got my first kitten in September 2013 and on Dec 18th she passed away in her sleep after being ill for a week. She had effusive FIP and the results came in on the 16th to confirm this. They drained her tummy the next day and injected interferon into her abdomen but as she had stopped eating she was too weak to come back from the anaesthetic properly. She was only 6 months old, a baby... Surely more should be done to prevent the spread of this disease, including making people aware of it- I am a pet sitter and had never heard of it- it never said anywhere that I should ask if the kittens are Corona Virus free. Perhaps if people were more aware of it they could take measures to limit the spread of the disease and breeding kittens in a virus ridden environment. What do people think about this all?
No one should have to go through loosing a kitten like we did, it was horrible watching as a once bouncy fluff ball became depressed and simply slept in her corner all day...
Something needs to be done!
