Fie?

My friends have a cat recently diagnosed with FIE, and they are devestated to say the least. We don't know any one else whose been through this sort of thing. My question is are there certain things they can do with him that he may enjoy, he doesn't like the same games he did before, even something as simple as sitting in the window (which he loved)he's unable to keep his balance, not to mention he can no longer get to the window on his own, if you've had any experience with this any and all input you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.

The recovery seem to have been complete - he now gained some weight (1lb) and is (very) active. However, since the recovery can be judged by clinical data only, he is still under observation - the CBC, dayly temperature are really what will tell how fast and complete the recovery is.
On a different note I am not sure what a kitty with panleukopenia is doing at home on the window. He should be in the hsopital in intensive supportive care. If he was returned home it probably means that the danger has passed and is recovering. From what have been told the recovery should be complete. Since it does not seem to be your case, may I ask if panleukopenia been confirmed? If not, a different treatment may be required and also the expectations re. recovery may need to be readjusted.
Fell free to ask questions. Good luck and do not give up.
