The main reason they think FIP, actually, is the lymph node aspirate cytology-- it showed granulamatous inflamation in a mesenteric lymph node. This is apparently indicative of FIP. It can also be indicative of a few other inflammatory and infectious diseases, but apparently is most common in FIP cases. The lab report said possibly her ibd could cause it, as could FIP.

That’s true – it’s just that – NONE of Lucy’s blood work result supports towards FIP – the only thing it does it fluid in her tummy and it’s clear and she is anemic –and it just seems unreasonable to conclude that she has FIP – but rather they don’t know what to make of it – therefore they are attributing FIP – when a cat become severely anemic from FIP, some part of their organs (usually it’s liver or kidney) have been affected already, and it will show elevated values in these organ functions…. And it’s not with Lucy – I just feel that Lucy has what Tsubomi has had – felk virus related illness – she has become anemic very quickly and she had fluid in her tummy –I don’t know if she has cancer or not as she passed away from anemia..
