Today, I had another 4 month old kitten with FIP he (Cosmo) i called him my little Cosimo ..... is now over the bridge... No siblings, he was an only kitten brought in and dropped off at Petco.
Hubby in hospital, will be doing test - not sure what is wrong, Man this has been a crappy day
Worried and Tired and no tears left ,,,,,,Terri

FIP you just can't prevent, predict or treat.....does everyone know that the Feline Genome Project is discovering that there seems to be a genetic predisposition for FIP (ie, for the generally benign corona virus to mutate into FIP)? that would make an inbred population particularly vulnerable.....
GLOW to light their way to the Bridge, and to ease your pain. they come to us because they need us, and because the universe knows what we don't always--that we are the folks who are able to help, and to handle the grief....

I took him in and yes I know it was FIP (if you would of seen his stomach -
like someone had blown a huge balloon up inside it and it was just an over
night swelling up).... and then the vet confirmed it (she pulled fluid out
of tummy) ,,, we have had a lot of FIP kittens seems it is pretty bad in
this area,,, probably due to the over population and inner -breeding ....
So my little Angel "Albany" was put to rest today, I will not let any
animal suffer - I had another kitten just go through it and I waited to long
and it was so sad to see him in pain, I swore never again never to let one
go that far.Terri (very heavy hearted in Oakdale)
ps no one but me in the bathroom....... since they are positive they are
complety isolated from all the others who are all negative.Nina wrote:
