Hi Lance, I just wanted to mention that my cat Jack, who does not have FeLV but does have heart disease and FLUTD, had high triglycerides a few years ago. That was when I was feeding grain free food with a high fat content. The vet wanted to do an abdominal ultrasound to check pancreas,

I don't know why some vets are so uninformed but I have had seemingly intelligent vets tell me that this or that cat had FIP because the cat had a high titer for the corona virus. This is NOT FIP. Many cats get a corona virus. Some actually become ill from it but with regular symptoms of
