Dear Michelle,
I was so saddened to read the vet's diagnosis for FIP (dry) w/ your sweet
Lucy.
As I've said before, I have encountered both wet dry FIP - at the shelter,
and at my home when I was fostering many cats,,
I encountered the 'wet FIP w/ (too) many shelter catsThey did
you're up against the old medical model, which holds true in veterinary as
well as in human medicine: diagnosis/treat/cure. if you can't do those
things in one swell foop, blame the patient!

O yea... medical model.
Actually, I think I'd be looking into Acemann or ImmunoRegulin or
sometime like that...

Though, from my experience, the criteria does not hold truth for my cats -- I
have about 5 or 6 cats who fall into all the three criteria for years and years
and they don't have FIP - I guess the clinical signs are the critical key
points here -- without the right clinical signs, don't

trying to figure out what's possible - my gut feeling is that it's not
FIP - you could send out Lucy's blood work to University of Glasgow for
profile of FIP if you want to be more certain - dr. Addie says, about 75

Another thing to add is that - with FIP - it usually shows gradual and
subtle loss of appetite and therefore, if it's a kitten, stagnancy of
weight gain, and if it's an adult - lose of weight and rough coat - this
was also true to 100 % of the time for all my cats - it just seems that

Michelle,
Did you ask the Internist about helping you get acemannan?

Declawing Creates SUFFERING, Please don't
Has anyone here had experience with toxo? Lucy has not been tested for it,
which I am starting to think is crazy. Maybe the granuloma cells in the lymph
node don't show up with toxo, but otherwise her symptoms could fit-- I just
read that it can cause anemia, fevers, and abdominal effusion,
Yes, you're missing the fact that if you send it in, and Dr. Addie can prove
it's NOT FIP, then you can mark that off the list and move on to other
options, and not have to wonder if it is or isn't FIP. The more things you
eliminate as possibilities, the closer you come to the TRUE diagnosis.
Today has been a miserable day here in VA. Freezing rain and sleet brought
me home early from work. This gave me time to spend with Junior and my other
cats. Junior seems to feel better. His ears are almost normal looking. I am
not sure what cause the hematomas because he did not shake his head

Sorry the weather is bad and you're missing work because of it! It's pretty
cold here, and our heater keeps going out. The landlord seems reluctant to
fix it or have it replaced. I keep having this nagging feeling that I am
forgetting something important, I can't figure out why. It's weird.
Michelle, I can't find anything to suggest abdominal effusion is a symptom
of Toxoplasmosis, would you mind posting where you saw that? All the sites
I've seen says most cats show no symptoms at all. Of the ones that mentioned
symptoms, nothing popped out at me as being similar to FIP. here are
It's called peritoneal effusion, and here are some links to places that
mention it:

Yeah, for sure, if you have the right meds on hand, I don't think it could
hurt to try! It appears I have more links to add to my site!

I spent the whole afternoon with Junior. First I took a nap. I have not been
sleeping to well lately. Junior sees a little bit. I took him out of my
bedroom into the living room. He managed to find the scratching post and he
had a grand time with that. You should see the door frame to my bedroom.
Re the scratching post: Can you fasten one to the wall like a picture? I've
seen some type of frame covered in whatever you want the cat to scratch then
literally secured (firmly please) to the wall.
I hope you don't lose any more work.
Well the trim is already ruined, but I do need to break him and the other
cats from using that spot. They also tear up the carpet there as well.

It's cold here, but the heat is staying on so far since we relit it last
time. It's 2 degrees out now, according to my porch thermometer. They make
flat cat scratching pads you can hang on a doorknob.

Just wanted to let you know I wasn't able to get a hold of my
friend at all this weekend, will try calling her at work tomorrow, I
know she's been sick with flu. Hope Lucy is feeling better and better!!
