Hello,
I am desperately searching for a no kill shelter to take in three remaining
kittens from a litter of 5 rescued a few months ago. We lost the first two to
suspected fip (couldnt afford the biopsy to confirm). Already have 3 healthy
permanently adopted rescues and no room at the inn for t

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

weeks after a vet visit. :(

He has escaped at the vet's office twice (at two different vets) because he
literally climbs the walls to escape! We have
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.

That's why I'm thinking it's not fip. This has been going on over a year (the
breathing difficulty). The weight gain only for a few months. I would think
he would have to show some other symptoms and be sicker than the breathing
problem if it's fip, but he does have a fat belly.

He's eating fine. The problem is he's 12 years old. Can cats 'harbor' fip

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

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

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.

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 coro

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 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?)
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 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.
