Fortunately I have only had one cat w/dry FIP, and she didn't have uveitis.

There has been a long time curse if you want to call it that, which follows
a new arrival. It seems that a short time after the arrival I would lose a
cat. Now it dosen't always happen. My neighbors must think I rescue cats,
because this fall 3 were left at my house, 2 in a box on Thanksgiving
Day.
uveitis most certainly can be a symptom of dry FIP. But it can also be a
symptom of so many other things. Dry FIP is especially hard to diagnose
because the possible array of symptoms are so generic.

I will probably call the Vet tomorrow. She is real good about Junior's
condition. I do not have to take him in all the time. I am guessing she will
have to write script for it am I right?

Yes - I don't have an FELV+ cat but I do have an immune compromised cat
(heart disease) and azithromycin clears up her URIs when nothing else does.
I hope it will help Junior.

Thanks Kelley
This year has been better. Junior has made it past the one year point, and
though he is not perfectly healthy, he is hanging in there. I need to get
him back on his Transfer factor. I think it helps him. Also I am thinking of
going to the big guns for his URI, azithromycin. Last time
Sally,
I am so very sorry for all your losses.
Take care of yourself.

It was one year ago that my precious Tiny went on to the
Rainbows Bridge. Everyone deals with Grief differently. I lost four cats
that year including Tiny. I was not expecting my Tiny to leave me so soon.
My Frankie has 10-20% vision in one eye and his retina in the other eye is
completely gone. Vet thinks it's genetic. He does pretty well as long as I
don't move things or put new things in previously empty spots. He also hisses
at and even attacks my other cats. He hates to be carried around bec

I know he wanted to run a full blood panel so maybe that is why? He wants to

Yes I agree and I would think more likely FELV than FIP. Hopefully it is
none of these.
Junior handles his bad eyesight very well. He hisses a lot at the other
cats though.

Yes, one of my seized fosters had uveitis as well. It is very hard to

I certainly agree with that. Fiv is easy - I have several FIV cats,
that never get sick. Well, I have 1 that's just turned diabetic, but

FIV cats generally have normal life span. I believe what normally causes their
demise is dental issues. Deep bites is how FIV is transmitted to other cats, so
an FIV cat can live with FIV negatives as long as it's a peaceful home. I could

Yes, FIV cats don't typically have too much of a shortened lifespan - they
may need dental cleanings more often.

here's the short answer:
FIV is almost always transmitted through DEEP, PENETRATING BITES (the kind
that boy cats inflict in testosterone-fueled rages when fighting over girl

water-borne, feces-borner. ie, it's not really a probl

Hi Caroline,
I can't tell you about the archives, but I can tell you about FIP and FIV.
FIP is a rare mutation of a coronavirus that almost all cats that have been
around other cats, shelter cats, etc have been exposed to. One of my vets
puts the exposure rate to coronavirus at 95% at our local
I wanted to resend this with a new subject line, since I am now able to access

Have you tried kaopectate? Ask Dr. first, but it used to be recommended. Also
try white rice made with chicken broth. Try each one at a time so you'll know
