I did not know that... Thankfully I have not had an incident of FIP since 2002.    And in our case it was two siblings... the other four are healthy as horses!  So yes, I would tend to agree with you that there is a genetic component to it.  Not all will get it... one of Gabby and Albert's brother

I'm so very sorry.  We do rescue and had a litter (one that I bottle fed from 2 weeks of age... so I was very attached to them) one little girl Gabby died of dry FIP and her brother Albert died of wet.  I know all too well what you are going through... My husband and I went to every vet imaginable

You might want to take him in just to be sure he doesn't have fluid in his chest.  I say that because I have just gone through this with one of our FIV+ kitties.  When I came home from work on Wednesday, my soul-kitty Wheezie was waiting for me having a very hard time breathing.  I rushed him to th

Where do you buy your powdered L-Lysine??  I buy it by the capsule @ The Vitamin Shoppe... but powdered would be easier.   Thanks. Leslie =^..^=  On 8/21/06, TenHouseCats <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: lysine is an amino acid that is specific to the herpes virus--it tricks it into not replicating. i
