We adopted our now 4.5 mo kitty 2.5 mos ago.  He had diarrhea for about 6-7 weeks.  finally after many different meds (including antibiotics, dewormers) his poop was normal.  about 10 days ago i stupidly decided to give a new brand of wet food a try and he loved it.  2 hrs later had diarrhea.  it's been 10 days and he is on flagyl, and finally diarrhea seems under control today.  but he has a huge bloated belly.  has been shedding a lot.  vomited clear liquid and some hair in it a week ago and again on sunday, but this time the liquid was yellowish.  took him to a vet today because of his bloat.  they did x ray and ultra sound.  it showed some gas and moderate amount of liquid in his belly.  the vet drew some liquid for testing.  won't know for 2 days...  the vet said could be number of things, like different type of bacteria or FIP (i prey it's not).  

all i read about such cases scares me to death.  anyone has a happy ending of a story of a kitty with fluid in his tummy and all turned out well???

been crying my eyes out...  help pls!
