So my nearly 3 year old cat was diagnosed with FIP she has had significant amount of weight loss. The vet that examined her said her kidneys and bowel was enlarged. She has no fever and no swelling of the abdomen. The vet was quick to diagnosis her with FIP and asked if I wanted to euthanize her. I said no and was told with some morphibe Kitty would be okay till Monday to euthanise her then. No blood work IR xrays were dibe the diagnosis was made solely on feeling Kitty's abdomen and what I had told her.
The more I research into FIP the more u think kitty hasn't got it. The only sign she has is weight loss. Kitty has been acting like her usual self since we got home, she's been eating and drinking and even chased and ate a mouse yesterday! We are going to another vet tomorrow to get a second opinion. We think she may have ingested poison as we live on a kiwi fruit orchard in which case the outcome is the same
I cannot bring myself to euthanize my kitty when I know she still has quality of life. Anyone else have experience with FIP?
