Has anyone had any experience with FIP? I got my 2 kitties (mother, daughter) from a breeder and the kitten died about 2 weeks after I got her and they're thinking it might have been FIP. Well then I got a 'replacement' kitten to take her place and it was the kitten's brother. Now I hear that one of the other siblings (female) might have FIP as well. Argh!! I'll die if my little boy ends up coming down with it too! She did say his other 2 brothers are healthy and doing well. He did just get over having what my vet thinks was an upper respiratory virus and has fully recovered (unlike his sister that never got over her fever and didn't eat well at all and had a big tummy but yet was bony). My little boy is normal in his shape, weighs 6 lbs. (he's 5 months old), and tears around the house again and eats very well. Will I just have to go crazy for his first months (I read that cats usually come down with it during their first 18 months of life). The mother is doing fine, she's actually over weight right now and I'm trying to get her back down to her normal weight.
Any experience or knowledge that anyone has on this subject would be greatly appreciated!
