He did a titer test. I know the only way to be certain a cat has FIP is to do a necropsy (although I do trust his diagnosis). Titer tests without symptoms (inappetence, depression, and weight loss) don't mean much, and he generally doesn't do them. In the presence of symptoms with a test result with high titers, a presumptive diagnosis of FIP can be made.
