My little Larry wasn’t eating as much as he usually does about 3 weeks ago, so after about a week we went to the vet to see what was going on. They found that he had a fever, high white blood cell count, spots on his lungs, and was dehydrated, and put him on an IV and some antibiotics. He stayed overnight and in the morning was doing better. His fever was down so that evening, after observing a normal temperature all day, they sent him home with antibiotics.

Several kind people there offered me some of their vials to use until I got my own supply, though I did not take anyone up on their offer as it is experimental, but can put your kitty into remission if you are lucky. Our little Brie just couldn't fight the disease and we had to say good bye to him a few weeks ago. I will pray for your Larry to get well.

I knew nothing of this disease until our baby had it and then my mom told me her daughter had a kitten with it years before and she spent thousands on the pure bread cat and lost it. My Mittens was adopted at the SPCA in Victoria BC at 8 weeks old and was a bundle of joy and life to our all ready lively household. She never grew much and we just assumed her mom or dad was small. Any way she was diagnosed with FIP March 4 2009 at 18 months old, she is now 2 years 1 month and 7 days. How long does she have? Not sure and pray that something might happen before she goes, but am loving ever moment I have with her.
