it's not that... REALLY hoping... Is FIP contagious? How is it spread? If
it's a lymphoma, would that be the lesser of the two? What could we do if
it's that?
This really sucks, to say the least...
Trying to stay positive...
Genie, Paul, Samantha and Ping (who wants to fight this)
and the lucky six

Marble was also not showing any specific symptoms this whole time Keitha
had
her. She was just lethargic and lost her appetite. She tested positive
for
a corona virus (which that vet immediately called FIP+) but then negative a
few weeks later. She just slowly deteriorated and once she started having
seizures they decided to let her go. She never had fluid on the lungs or
in
her belly which is THE typical FIP symptom. She didn't even have any right
at the time of her death. But like the email I sent before said, the vet
said all of her organs were severely damaged when he did the autopsy.
That's what is so bad a/b FIP. There is no reliable vaccine, no real test
for it, and no cure if that's what you think it is. There are not even any
treatments like for Felv and FIV. It is a truly horrible disease.
I hope it works out for little Ping.
