Hi, Nina--- I am now thinking that her loss of appetite might have something to do with URIs as it started a day or two days ago - it might be some type of bacterial infections --since her immune system is a bit compromised,k she is more susceptible to also bacterial infections -- I just remembered when Hannibal was susectable to bacteria infection due to his CRF conditions and he use to get URIs - colord discharge from his nose --when I gave him a shot of penicillin, it cleared up right away -- so I gave her like 0.1 ml of shot of penicillin -- as much as it seems that she is on lots of drugs and she is.. but standard treatment of FIP is usually, interferon, predisolone and some type of antibiotics altogether as predisolone will suppress their immune system and they become more susceptible to bacterial infections --
She has been on lysine for a long time, actually -- you would not believe how many things she is getting --- and they are not all chemicals.. she is getting different type of vitamins and homeopathy stuff -- I bought some slippery elm to help her digestions system as she is getting so many stuff -- please continue your ue to pray for my little Dharma - she is such a sweet heart and she is such a strong little soul!!

She's on so much right now, Pred, feline Interferon, you just started Epogen, Moducare, was there something else? Are you using TF? I hate to think of adding yet another med, but if the lysine doesn't help, I might try some Clavamox. I'm not sure about interactions with all this stuff and she's so darn tiny. I'd also try Little Noses before any other nasal drops. I don't remember anyone's discharge being smelly, no matter what the color. Did this start all of a sudden? Was there a clear discharge before the gooey stuff? Poor little sugar, I just want to wrap her up in a blanket, hold her close and cure her with love!
