I have treated 10 cases of FIP successfully up to this point and I have learned so much about the disease process. I was also involved in a study at UC Davis for a cat that I treated. However, I am not prepared when a cat comes in extremely healthy and has a body full of fluid which is indicative of wet FIP yet the A/G ratio is 0.8! I know some of that may be hard to understand without prior knowledge. But I wanted to share this journey with you. Blue is an FeLV cat that has had it rough since he was found caked in asphalt. He is two years old.
His blood results are perfect. I hope I am not alone in this when I say that I would do anything for any cat, regardless of their life span. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. And while the hellos are outweighed by the goodbyes, I still fight hard for the next as I did for the former. But I have saved so many cats that people gave up on, that I go against the grain. I feel belittled in situations like that. Surely I am not the only one willing to treat cats that no one else would?
