When a vet says a cat is positive for FIP he is wrong, he may be positive and with high titers for the corona viruses that are suspected to cause FIP but that doesn't in most cases mean he has FIP. THANK YOU, BELINDA!!!! MY FEELINGS EXACTLY!!!!! (And, I strongly believe w/ all my heart, that my Puma does not have FIP......... ) Also, I believe he does have high titers for corona..... He!!, I rescued him from a nasty [putting it mildly ] high kill shelter!!!! And, the poor 'ole boy didn't even stand a chance!!! He was immediately put on "Death Row" - only because of his seniority!!!!! GRRRR..... I'm just so happy I had "connections" with the rescue community!!!!! [Just wish I still could be able to "save" more like my boy. I have nightmares about all the poor babies that face that horrific dilemma......] The toxo diagnosis I do believe. And, he recovered 101%. But when I "questioned" my vet on the FIP, well, let's just say, deep down, he knew I was right about the only accurate diagnosis is thru necropsy!!!! Oh, and MC, I am with you....... So [too] much misinformation floating around........ And, I too am at that point - Seems like people want to believe all that garbage................. (At a point, even me.... Having had an FIP epidemic w/ my fosters! ) Much thanks & hugs, Patti & her gang [INCLUDING PUMA!!!! A "MIRACULOUS RECOVERY" Wasn't aware that FIP could last this long - on a very, very senior boy!!! Now I can stop kicking myself in a$$} ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
