Hideyo, I'm so sorry to hear that Olive has passed. Quickly is probably a blessing, as she did not linger, and enjoyed her life up until the very last day or so.
 
I do hope that this time, you will have Olive's body tested for FIP, to get a definitive diagnosis, so you can be SURE that it is FIP, and not something in your home such as a toxin, or some other curable thing that you're just missing because you're assuming it's FIP. You really MUST test to be sure!
 
I find it amazing that you have talked to both Dr. Ishida, whom is a very highly advanced clinical veterinarian in the field of animal research in Japan (unless there's another Dr. Ishida I'm not aware of practicing in your area?), as well as talking directly to Dr. Addie from University of Glasgow, another well known vet in the field of FIP research! How did you manage to speak to the fore-runners of research about your cats? Do you have connections in Japan, or something? These aren't people you can generally just call up and chat with! Oh, wait, do you LIVE in Japan, I hadn't considered that, I thought you said you lived in Texas, but maybe I'm wrong about that...
