[Felvtalk] My experience with IV ascorbic acid and FIP

A few days ago I posted about the reversal of FIP that I saw in my kitten Angelica on high dose intravenous ascorbic acid and have been following these subsequent posts with some bit of sadness. I believe Jenny makes the most valid arguments and in an effort to provide more details about what happ

Part 2 Chuckie The kittens Tommy, Chuckie and Angelica, were altered and received their rabies vaccinations on September 20, 2009. (Note, again, Lukey died on October 1). On October 8 the kittens then received FVRCP vaccinations and were still asymptomatic at that time. About 12-15 days

Part 3 Angelica By now, after the deaths of my two precious boys Lukey, and then baby Chuckie, it was becoming clear that we were definitely seeing FIP in all three and on the right track with the intravenous ascorbate but just not using enough. Because Chuckie's immune system had been so t

Well Fred started having seizures 3 hours after his vet visit, we're not sure what is causing those but he is on phenobarbitol and those so far are controlled. He is eating like a little piggy and drinking. It takes about 2 weeks for them to get used to the effects of the phenobarbitol so

Belinda, Wow. You have a sick little kitty. I don't know if you're looking for input or not; and I know nothing about his history but I would suggest two things. 1. Find a holistic vet. 2. Check a basic metabolic panel. CRF patients often have electrolyte imbalances that can cause seizures.

Hi Jenny, Thanks for the advice. I have certainly considered all my options and I know that this is not a good place for Wolfie to be at. I've had so many positive cats and unfortunately I know how it usually ends. This one has made it longer than any of my other ones and I would do anything

Good points. We've just learned so much skepticism about everything FIP. I'm wondering also - how do you get a vet to do something different - like a vitamin C drip? I know one vet who would and could do that, I'm pretty sure - but she's 60 miles away, and I have trouble finding free t
