Michelle,
Reading this email just broke my heart. I can hear in
your words how very much you love Lucy. I wish I
could just hug both of you and do something for you
both. No matter how strong my faith is, I always have
questions. Everyone doesn't get to experience the
natural cycle of life. S
I don't know the answer to that. I have had cats die from dry FIP but not
wet. The conversation I had with my vet about the wet version was when I was
at his clinic in the "back" - he was working off and on on some of our rescue
group's cats and a kitty was brought back to have fluid drawn fr

As I understand it, with wet FIP unless fluid is continually drained it will
begin to accumulate in the abdominal cavity and begin to squeeze out the lungs
so that breathing becomes harder and harder -- and the cat essentially
suffocates. I think that is why all wet FIP kitties are euthanized.
i know a lot of FIP cats, with the wet form, that have been allowed to
die naturally at home, so i guess i'm missing the point here

Hi Michelle,
I am catching up on all your emails regarding sweet
Lucy, and I am sorry that the internist thinks it is

health, I'm betting FIP is pretty serious. I hope you

risks damage to the kidneys. At some point she will probably

Kerry,
I've read that pure rice bran is a better alternative than oat bran for
cats. You can get it at the health food store. I can't remember the
'whys' of the debate, but at the time I decided it was worth changing to
rice bran.

I am using rice bran now, which I hope helps. I have used slippery elm in
