She said that because of the percentage being high on the Titers that it is probable having FIP. That the liver damage is a cause of FIP.
She did take a sample of his blood and sent it out.
At this point it wouldn't make any difference on his results.
But warned me that she is siding with FIP on this. He has too much damage in such a short amount of time and the fact he is very jaundiced. As I stated she did ultra sounds and I forgot to add that he had xrays done as well.
She could feel his some of his organs. They were swollen.
I know I'm not giving the information you would like to hear.
If he has the tube in him he will get a complete workup done on him Vet made a point of saying that to me.
My husband isn't home yet I will ask him if we have the funds to do so.
He will probably crap his pants since we just recently paid off the original Taz's medical bills. ($5000.00)
Vet's office doesn't have a payment plan.
But he is a cat lover and does love Dukee. I guess I will wait an see if we can do this.
I'm frustrated as well and very tired.
I just want to do what's best for Dukee and make him comfortable.

Did they not run a total body function?  I wanted to know if Liver damage is caused by FIP or not as it does make a difference on prognosis and it’s very difficult to tell without it --- FIP can cause liver damage as Peter got jaundiced at the end (he had FIP)..– and Garfunkle had a liver damage which could have been treatable if I had known it sooner..  the cost seems to be pretty reasonable, actually – but if he is jaundiced, he needs to get all toxins out ideally via IV fluid so that it can get all toxins out –and he will feel better.. can the vet accept any payment plans from you guys?  At least, you will need to give him some fluid – when liver is not working well, he will start collecting toxins and make them feel sicker and wants to throw up.. can you give him a fluid at home??
