I trapped & rescued a feral cat. Set him up in the "holding". He was shy at first & warmed up quickly! He snorted, missing half his tail & hair was thinning, so I knew to get him to the vet. After a month of observation & acclamation, came time to see the vet. Very friendly & hated being alone.
In March, the vet did his examination & it led to xrays! Come to find out his chest cavity was filled with fluid! I was told WET FIP! He had days to weeks to live! I cried hysterically.
To date, it's days from November. My sweet baby is still with us!
His tail filled in & extremely fluffy! His hair is long, thick & full & still GROWING! He grew a main around his neck!
PLEASE!! Can someone explain to me why my baby was diagnosed WET FIP?!?!
Can someone explain what OTHER reasoning he would have fluid in his chest cavity??
I found out he is a designer cat! A Tiffany! More recent name change is Chantilly/Tiffany! He is a mix of Burmese & Persian!
Persians snort!
Do I need to get a second opinion?!?!
Do WET FIP cats live 8 months?? Grow their hair & tail?
Yes, his belly does extend a bit more, but he eats like an ox!! No appitite loss.
Occassional he does throw up in his water, but all fluffy, grooming cat throw up hair balls.
HELP me understand what is going on?
Was he misdiagnosed???
