I know how you feel! I'm panicking because I have to work long hours especially this weekend and my kitty is sick.
So the vet saw your kitty and is giving him sub-q fluids?

Depending on how weak your kitty is, a feeding tube might be helpful. Have you discussed this with your vet?

Why does your vet suspect FIP?
