Tomi may have had wet FIP at the end, I don't know, but he was very anemic as well. For the last week, his belly was swollen, and he was eating and drinking alot, but still getting thinner. Does that sound like FIP? I don't know where he would get that from. Not that it matters I suppose,

Yes, it certainly sounds like wet FIP. All cats carry the corona virus, which can morph into FIP. It really just depends on genetics, age, (very young older cats) and on extenuating circumstance like being felv+. (immune compromised) There are 2 forms of FIP, the wet the dry. My first felv+
