Dry FIP often has different symptoms, commonly neurological issues, and they usually survive longer than the wet FIP victims do. Dry FIP usually presents with vague clinical signs, Like anorexia, losing weight, depression, anemia, fever, and a dull coat (sometimes with a "greasy" look). Many cats w

Hi Wendy, Thanks for your reply. I'm having other 8 cats vaccinated this week, and 5 tested first (the vet recommended this) (Five are my own cats; the 3 fosters, who are littermates of the positive cat, already tested negative 2 months ago). She told me the one who's positive most likel

A diagnosis of FIP means that they've diagnosed one of the Corona Viruses (not FIP), and then made a best-guess of FIP, so I'm not sure I'd trust a diagnosis of FIP. Gloria - Original Message - From: "Jennifer Phaewryn O'Gwynn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 200

A friend of mind just found out that one of her fosters may have dry FIP as well. If we could find one person that could take both kittens (he's approx. 6 months) they could have company and live out their lives together. I've had experience with the effusive FIP but know nothing about non-eff
