[Felvtalk] ot-sneaker fip?
Hi all, I know many of you have had experience with fip. My cat sneaker has chronic herpes (vet thinks that's what it is.) he has difficulty breathing, but his lungs are clear. We've medicated him to no avail. And he is semiferal and hard to pill, much less use a nebulizer or anything. Anyway, I've noticed he seems to have gained weight in his belly. Would a cat that is over 10 years old harbor fip all that time? Wouldn't he act sicker if that's what it was? I've got a crf cat so I've been feeding more wet food. So I guess it could just be weight gain.. but it's a FAT tummy. Am I being paranoid. When he breathes through his nose it sounds like he has a cold. There is no sneezing and he has no eye discharge or anything. thanks in advance for any ideas. tonya ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org

Now this was many years ago like 1972 when my Bud cat got sick. I was in college and my dad took hin to the vet who dx'd FIP.

Re: [Felvtalk] ot-another fip Q
Hi. Another FIP question. My foster cat Tessa has a large belly. She was spayed and vet said she was full of fat cells. She kind of sways when she walks. Another vet examined her and said her belly was firm and not spongy like an FIP belly would be. Any thoughts? She has mostly been isolated but is occasionally in areas in common with my cats but no direct cat to cat contact and no sharing of food or water bowls. She has urinated in their boxes a couple times. Would anyone here be concerned?

Re: [Felvtalk] my kittens!
Thanks for your response, Tonya. I found out a lot of things, one of which is to stop crying, calm down and get to work. I have a wonderful vet who looked at the paper work and said only 1 of four kittens tested positive. We tested Mom - negative. We will test the positive kitten with the more definitive test in a few weeks. In the meantime, I need to place the three negatives - I am willing to pay for their second ELISA test, and am telling people that we don't know right now. All we know is that they must be the only cats in the house until we find out, and that if positive, they can live long and healthy lives with other positives. They are spayed/neutered, have their first shots and have been wormed. They are sociable and self-confident. If anyone can help out by opening their home, or know someone who can, please contact me! Thanks to everyone on this site who has helped me so much. Whatever happens, I know I'll always have you guys. "Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Vanity asks the question, is it popular?

Re: [Felvtalk] Stray Kitty I took in tests positive
My vet said to keep them together, that's what I did. I kinda figured they should be separate, but my vet doesn't seem real concerned since Mom tested negative. The way she put it was that right now, anyway, we have 4 negatives and a positive. Apparently, because they are only 8 weeks old, if mom is indeed negative, they would have been exposed at about 3-4 weeks old and it would be unlikely that mom would have let any other cats that close to them. (this is a litter I found in my alley) Any thoughts?

Re: [Felvtalk] ot-sneaker fip?
Hi Tonya, I lost one 12 week old to suspected wet FIP 2 years ago. She had a chronic URI and began having fevers that stopped responding to antibiotics. When her belly very first started to swell I noticed it, but the vet couldn't see it (or perhaps didn't want me to worry too much prematurely?) It quickly became obvious, (swayed, stuck out to the sides, hung way down, felt a bit like a water balloon) and was accompanied by anorexia and a very pronounced spine. From the first signs of swelling to the end was maybe 3 weeks or less? Hope sneakers is ok, if he's still eating good and no fevers then that's a good sign.

Re: [Felvtalk] ot-sneaker fip?
Well, it isn't a matter of harboring FIP. FIP is a mutation of coronavirus, which many/most cats, especially those who have been through kill shelters, have been exposed to at one time or another. Most cats can carry coronavirus throughout their lives with no ill effects. There is no way to tell in which cats the virus will mutate. Cats who live in single cat households generally clear the virus over time, with multiple cat households. Wet food does not typically cause weight gain, if anything it would cause weight loss. There is a test which MC will probably remember the name of that can rule out FIP. Most vets do not know about it. If the cat does indeed have wet FIP, the prognosis is very poor and the time frame is short, but I do think a lot of vets use FIP as a diagnosis when they don't really know what is wrong.

Re: [Felvtalk] ot-another fip Q
Hi Laurie, If there are no other symptoms (fever, pronounced spine) then I wouldn't worry. Wet FIP normally progresses pretty quickly, from my experience and what I've read. When I lost my Alice to it it was maybe 3 weeks or less from first noticing symptoms to having her so swollen and unresponsive to meds that we had to pts. As you may already know, FIP isn't directly contagious from cat to cat. Instead, the usually harmless but very contagious feline corona virus, which is present in a majority of shelter and cattery cats, happens to mutate into deadly FIP within a specific cat. So it IF Tessa has FIP, your others likely already have FCoV, even just with limited casual contact, but unlikely that it would mutate into FIP in another of your cats. Some strains of FCoV do seem to make deadly mutations easier than others, and genetics may make some cats more susceptible than others. In my case, Alice's siblings are all still here at 2.5 years... Wouldn't worry too much, Beth On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 7:27 PM, Laurieskatz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi. Another FIP question. My foster cat Tessa has a large belly.
