Patti,
If he is doing so much better, I think it is likely that he has toxo and
not fip. It can be very hard to tell fip from toxo-- toxo can cause pretty
much all the symptoms and lab work of fip.
Lynette,
Right now I am hoping and praying, probably without reason, that Lucy has
toxo rather than fip. So I have done A LOT of reading on toxo. Clindamycin
is the treatment of choice and it usually takes 3 weeks for significant
improvement, though some improvement should be seen

Titers for toxo do not necessarily tell you if a cat has toxo, but there are
two that can help: IGM titer and IGG titer. Apparently the ratio between the
two can strongly indicate toxo. Regardless of whether you do these tests,
though, or their results I would start on clindamycin

They get it from feces by getting it on their paws in the litter box and
then grooming themselves.
Good point. I wonder if a foster cat brought it in.
When did he start on clindamycin? any improvement?
He's had one dose. He was already greatly improved from the Clavamox
