I've taken my cat lucky to the vet after the last week she hasn't been acting well she started eating less hiding by herself being quiet and drinking more water than usual the vet said it looks like fip and gave her a few days to a week to live but I noticed slight improvements she's eating a little more and is a bit more active since she's been on antibiotics and prednisone for the last 2-3 days and she's meowing a bit more at me when I talk to her but she's still not completely herself like before (she's usually very active playful lovable and full of life) on a scale of 1-10 I'd say she's about a 4 maybe a 5 on how she's doing
The vet said it looks like dry fip based on her symptoms (it's hard to diagnose dry fip) he said but could it be something else that's treatable? With similar symptoms as fip but less serious she's been like this for 6 or 7 days now she hasn't worsened as I mentioned earlier she has made small improvements does this mean she's fighting it off? I have heard of cats living a few months to a few years with dry fip and some even recovered I'm planning to put her on medicines called "polyprenyl immunostimulant"
And a second one called "interferon" would this help her live longer or even save her life along with what she's taking? (She's on prednisone and an antibiotic")
I'm also giving her wet food to keep her weight up to be exact she's eating fancy fest at the moment
She usually eats dry cat food but she's also eating cat treats as well she's still eating but very little and oh yeah she was dehydrated had a fever of 105 she is also is anemic but she became anemic from whatever is going on but her fever has went down her gums are a pink/black color and she is a older cat I'm not sure of her exact age she came to me as a stray in 2008 and when I took her to the vet back then she had non of this and the doc said she's in perfect health but now since the last past 6 or 7 days she hasn't been herself I'm really hoping it's not fip could she have been misdiagnosed? And also she came to me as an adult cat so she's an older cat can this possibly be old age or something else treatable I'm going to put her on the other meds I mentioned above also will having her on 4 meds harm her? If anyone has had a similar experience please share with me all help is appreciated and also her name is lucky please do keep her in your prayers all help is needed thanks to all and I'm so sorry if you have experienced this in the pastor
