Hi Marta!  Glad to see you here.  I'm just catching up on posts and I just saw yours.  I was looking for an age for these kittens, how old are they?  Poor little sprites sound so sick!  You know that so many of them are in sad shape when they come off the street like this :( .  It sounds like you are on top of their symptoms and getting the help of a good vet.  It's wonderful, (even though not conclusive), that they tested neg for felv/fiv.  Has the first kitten's temp continued to come down?  I don't have any experience with FIP, (happily for me), so I can't give you any advise with that.  From what I have heard, there's just not a whole lot you can do for them if they are genetically predisposed, except to boost their immune system and to love and encourage them to fight.  Have you heard of Transfer Factor?  It's an immune modulator derived from cow's colostrum that many on the list use, http://www.transferfactorinstitute.com   Why don't you ask your vet what he thinks about Interferon A?  One thing I am sure about is that these little guys have the best chance possible now that they've found themselves in a safe, nurturing environment.  Just ask Jerome about that!!  Sending healing thoughts and prayers that these little ones keep fighting and get healthy very soon.  Keep us informed,
Nina

Thank-you everybody for the welcome, I'm sure I'll learn much here. The little feral isn't responding to meds and today I found one her siblings just like the 1st one. At the vet now undergoing (when they get to it) tests and more. I've a tiny bit of hope because this one put up more of a fight and she doesn't look like the other (genetics) but she seems so weak she might have the same problem..
 Abt FIP, etc. When I had Jerome (my fiver) dx the first time the vet said FIP diagnosis was based on his symptoms tho he might not have it. Tested pos on both tests for FIV , and he was an adult intact stray when I found him so high risk then he  maybe is truly +. Anyways he's doing great and such a lover.
 
Hideyo, much, much light and positive thoughs for you, no matter how many times you go through it is never easy, I know.
