Hi all,as you remember I sent out a prayer and good thought request for these
babies.Well I am happy to report that all four seem to be doing very good right
now.Bijou did lose her sight,but we think she can still see shadows.Bijou also
went home with one of our volunteers and seems very
We have the same problem here. A bullet is the easiest way to
dispense with an unwanted animal. I'm sure most rural areas are
the sam way.

I'm sure you've had many responses by now, but the answer is a big no. I've
got a 10 year old leukemia positive on my bed with me right now. Fat, sassy,
and happy.

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.
I've got two that are over 10. I have 3 that are under 4. I'm giving
the ones under 4, daily oral interferon alpha - hopefully help them
make it past 3 yrs.

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. Now I know there were
not tests done it was based on observation and he did not respond to
antibiotics. Anyway the weekend I was to come home he left and was never
seen
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
my opinion would be leave them together. they've already been together. the
ones that are negative may have been positive and fought it off. if so they
are probably now immune.

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

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,
thanks. maybe he's just gaining weight from the canned food. he's been exposed
to no new cats and has been breathing funny for at least a year now...
we've done antibiotics twice. i just don't know...

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?)
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
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
I think it's called Rivalta's test?
