Please say a prayer for or send good thoughts to my cat, Simon.
As some of you may remember, he was exposed to Coronavirus about 20 months ago and, thankfully, has not experienced any problems. (His half-sister died from the illness.) Over the past two weeks, he seems to have a decrease in his litterbox output (both in terms of urine and fecal matter). Over the past 3-4 days, he seems to be running an intermittent fever (warmer-than-normal ears/ toe pads; dry nose; tiredness). Although he has a very slight decrease in appetite, his overall behavior is about the same, though he's less active at 10pm, his normally active time. (I attribute this to the fact that his temp., as with humans, seems to spike toward the evening.) His weight, for now, is unchanged.
I'm making a vet appointment for him tomorrow. We'll likely have more bloodwork done to try to determine if there's any possible FIP activity going on. I'm hoping and praying my hardest that it's not FIP related and that it's not something that could affect FIP.
