Dear Jen,
So happy you are all safe and sound! I have about caught up in my email to the description of your evacuation ordeal; my goodness!
You might direct this gentleman to Dr. Addie's website:
She has a protocol on there for treatment with human interferon; obviously a better chance would be Virbagen Omega, but an FIP kitty doesn't have time to wait for it (unless he happens to be located where it is available). I believe more and more that there is no single answer to some of these horrible viruses, but rather a combination of therapy. I did start Tater Tot on the human interferon protocol because it was all that was available. She recommends other supplements, too. I couldn't use them all because he would not eat the food with them added and he just gagged terribly if I tried to syringe them in. He was never cooperative about meds, anyway, but if this kitten is, many people have found them to help (cod liver oil, Vitamin C, etc.).
FIP is the worst kind of a nightmare. I hope the kitten has been misdiagnosed; it does happen!
So happy you and yours are safe!
Love, Julie

Hello All!
I just had a very heart-broken man email me about importing Virbagen
for his 5 month old kitten who was just diagnosed with FIP...I know
some of you have dealt with FIP before (successfully?), and was just
wondering if you'd have any advice! I encouraged him to join the list
as your advice is invaluable...but I decided not to wait for his reply
as (I believe) time is critical when it comes to dealing with FIP!
Thanks guys!
Jen
