Well starting a couple of weeks ago it became very difficult for our kitten to walk. We have been back and forth to the vet and finally we were referred to the vet specialist group in our area.
The specialists suspect the Beaker has FIP. Cry He had a CSF tap yesterday and the fluid was very cloudy and yellow. We are waiting for the final lab analysis to come back today or tomorrow and then we should have a more definite answer. The specialist said that if it is not FIP then it is something else that is reaking havoc in his nervous system. We are going to try and treat him with some medications once the results come back. Depending on how well he responds to the medications will determine if we can keep treating him as long as possible or if it just gets worse to the point where we have to put him to sleep. :waiting:
Needless to say we are very sad here at our home and would ask some prayers for Beaker. He's so young and its hard to watch him struggle to walk and move around. Its to the point now where he cannot make it to the litter box any longer and its hard to get him to eat/drink.
I'll keep you all updated when the test results are available. Thanks for all the information/advice you have given us in the past.
