Hi, me again,
I just re-read some info on FIP at this site, and they are saying FCoV
transmission is primarily through shared litterboxes, so even less chance
for worry...

Hey Tonya, I might try some Azithromycin. It's become my latest
discovery to try for the unknown. I've used it mostly in cats/kittens
with problem eyes. I've read that some abx are said to affect Herpes,
because of the relationship between the two amino acids lysine and
arginine. The
Sherry, this is good news indeed. May they all continue to prosper.

Hi all,as
A vet can usually tell if fluid in the stomach feels like the type of
accumulation you find with FIP or not, if there is fluid, they will draw it
to see if characterisitic of FIP (straw colored) but the fluid should still
be tested.
FIP is frequently misdiagnosed. And yes, many cats carry
GOOD vets can tell if the fluid feels like FIP, and GOOD vets will draw
fluid. i no longer presume that a vet is good without reason to.

good point, esp. w/regards to FIP, even some good vets don't know what
they are talking about.

no, not paranoid. i at least call my vet when i notice something new and in
this case, would probably take him in just to be sure. better to go in and
catch something in early stages than wait. so people think you are nuts, that
is their problem. dorlis

Thanks for this to and all who responded.
I am going to assume all is well. I rescued her 3 weeks ago and no change
except the belly is a little smaller!

MC, do you mind if I pass this along to my neighborhood association website?
There's a lot of fear out there. When I brought the kittens home, I chose to
stop crying, get educated, and move on. I would like others to benefit from
your post.

That's why I'm thinking it's not fip. This has been going on over a year (the

he would have to show some other symptoms and be sicker than the breathing

great site. I'm going to assume if he's not got sicker over the past few months
it must just be weight gain. He is eating more because he likes the wet food
better.

i don't know if they have something like this for the antibiotics he is
getting, but my vet gave Annie an injection that lasts for 2 weeks. she also
is difficult to pill, give liquids and is super good at hiding. she can get

It doesn't feel like it's fluid. It doesn't sound like there's any fluid when
