I'm so sorry. BooBoo's lucky to have you, but you must be so very
awfully sad.. Hope the Transfer Factor makes it soon.

Well just when you think it can't get any worse it does. BooBoo's
cytology came back today and he has FIP as well as feline leukemia.
There was no bacteria in it. There is nothing left for us to do for
him. There was no bacteria in the culture, just protein and fibres,
because his blood vessels are leaky. The vet says all we can do is
make him comfortable and at this point it is all about quality of
life. He will continue to drain his lungs every week to 10 days and
keep him on this antibiotic until it is finished and only Lasix once
a day, which I guess does nothing for this lung fluid. If he
becomes worse, ie he has to have the fluid drained more frequently
then we will have to do the obvious. We will put on a good face for
our dear boy and do everything we can to keep him with us as long as
we can but it isn't looking too good at the moment. The vet said
they had another cat in this week that tested positive for FIP but
not leukemia. He said BooBoo has been hit with a double blow and
unfortunately the end is near. I don't know if the Factor stuff
will make it here before Boo dies but I'm trying to be realistic
here now and face the inevitable. My husband and I are horribly sad
about this but I'm getting angry now at these criminals who owned
him and lied to me about his being healthy and vaccinated. We have
several top notch lawyers in our practice who like me a lot and
would do me a favor if I asked. I'm seriously considering
consulting with one of them when this tragedy is over.
