It is not common, but it *can" happen.
I just called Dr. Smith and asked him.
But you are probably asking the other Susan on the list, correct?

Something else must be going on to cause her coma -- I just don't have any
kitties who become coma and had FIP -Susan, are you aware of any relationship
between FIP of symptoms of FIP causing coma in a FIP kitty?

Well, she was treated with antibiotics (and interferon) but when he came in
this morning and she was in a coma, he euthanized her. I don't know anything
about cats and comas and how likely they are to recover. But if he felt she
had a chance for recovery he would not have euthanized her.
Caroline appears to have recovered (knock on wood) and we STILL don't know
what was/is wrong with her. Of course if it is brain cancer she won't recover.
But for now she is doing ok.

I'll be glad to look at it. But even if the bloodwork looks like FIP --
I have a friend who had a rescue with bloodwork that screamed FIP yet the cat
was treated with anitbiotics for infection and recovered fully. FIP is so
difficult to diagnose and sufficiently rare that you really have to assume it's
something else and keep looking. If you (or the vet) are too quick to call it
FIP and stop there, then you are likely to miss the real cause(s).

I have not seen it yet, I can get them to fax it.
He was in surgery when I called.
I will send to Susan, if she wants to look I still have it.

What was the actual corona titer that came back for suzie? I would
also ask maybe Susan to take a look at the blood result you emailed to me, if
Susan does not mind looking at it.. as she has lots of experience with actual
FIP kitties as well.. the whole thing just seems odd to me..

You mean corona positive (as are most cats at some point in their
lives). There is no FIP test and the only way to be certain a cat had FIP is
to do a necropsy.

She was a sweet girl who liked to sit in laps, but didn't like
other cats much. She was positive for FIP. Dr Samon euthanized her this
morning. I wish I had been there, but they said she was comatose..
