corona virus titres do NOT prove FIP. cats can have high FeCoV titres and
not progress to FIP, and cats who have progressed to FIP can have low titres
because their exposure was so long before that the virus itself is out of
their systems, although the FIP mutation is not.
FIP is the new favorite
Hi everyone. My vet and I have been talking about putting my asymptomatic FeLV
+ kitten, Nibbler, on Interferon. However, she said the only kind she can get
information on is the newer formula and it costs about $50 per month. Also,
since its so new she doesn't know how well it works. Does
That's what I understand. ITs proved through necropsy of the dead
cat. However, with certain signs yellowish fluid from the belly, high
corona titre, etc, vets tend to project that a cat has FIP. I heard
by the grapevine recently that Cornell is doing FIP research.
I am always very
Alice,
Thank you so much for letting us know. I am so happy this has worked for
them. It seems to have great promise if started early enough. It appears
to have some ability to help once symptoms begin but if you can start early
that seems to be your best bet. Oh, yeah. It is wonderful to
I find the skepticism and questioning surrounding the diagnosis and
treatment of FIP interesting. I have to say, however, that every laboratory
test, whether it be in human or veterinary medicine, is subject to failure;
either giving false positives or false negatives. This is a far more common
The skepticism is by people who have dealt with FIP and been brought to our
knees by it. Any active rescue person has seen repeated cases of FIP. We have
tried all manner of treatment, very often without success. And when we have
had what could be called success it was always a situation
I haven't read all the posts in this thread, but did want to make one point
-- just in case it hasn't been addressed previously (although with the
knowledge base here, I can't imagine it hasn't). So apologies if this is a
dead horse but: It's been drummed into me that the presence of coronavirus
I've posted before about my cat Wolfie. He's 7 years old and has been losing
weight for the past 4 years. His HCT is also down (currently 25). We've
treated for hemobart and retested and he's now negative (was positive before).
He has started gaining weight and has put on a pound but I'm
Hi, everyone, I have been actively reading this list for a month or so now,
so I figured it was time I join.
My cat, Kong, just turned 3 in October. I found him in a Wal-Mart parking
lot when he was 12 weeks old. He was mostly feral, had been starved, most
likely abused, and had a nasty case of
Hi Amy,
I'm sorry to hear about Wolfie. I don't have most of my email handy, so
I can't look back at what you've written. Have you tried Transfer
Factor?
What about Liquid DMG? These are affordable supplements, and they *seem*
to have helped in the case of my FeLV+ girl, Ember. DMG especially
Hi,
I have had a number of cats that were FeLV positive and had anemia. I have
tried Epogen and if it did anything at all, it wasn't noticeable. It is too
bad you live in such an expensive area, I'll bet those treatments Wolfie has
had would be half that here in Arkansas. You are fortunate
Ashley, your story is so moving. Kong is a very lucky kitty. You are an angel
for caring for him.
I found my Gabby (or he found me) when I was visiting on a farm down south this
summer. He simply showed up on Sunday morning underneath my car, meowing for
attention. The vet thought he was
Bailey was on epogen with his non regenerative anemia and it did
bring his HCT back to normal, my Fred currently is on epogen, he is not
positive but has non regenerative anemia because of CRF (chronic renal
failure), his HCt is slowly coming back up. I prefer Nutrived to Pet
Tinic because
