I just adopted 3 cats at the shelter in Manhattan a week ago (Center for animal care and control)
2 of the kitties are fine and spirited but the third one got very sick the first day I borught them all home.
She refused to eat or drink water and peed on herself. She seemed very listless and depressed.
She felt very wamm and I rushed her to the vet.
The vet took her temp as 105. The vet told me it was just an upper URI, but I wasnt so sure. He talked me into puttign her on antibiotics and forced feeding.
That was four days ago and i picked her up today.
She looked slightly better but not much at all.
I asked the vet to once again swaer to me that th ecat 'only' has an URI and not FIP and he told me he was sure she has a uri, btu i should keep her away form my other pets for a long while.
I brought her home and she still wont eat or drink water and seems incredibly depressed despite lots of warmth and caring from me.
I ve had two cats die of FIP when I was a teenager and this seems intuitively to be FIP NOT a uri................WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ???? please tell me ! Thanks
