FIP confirmed. This vet however says that we can buy him a few months and drained his lungs as much as she could, and he is breathing comfortably for now.
The vet says she plans on doing another XRay, she may give him another steroid if necessary. I'm not sure she has the equipment for an ultrasound, but she plans on checking his proteins and examining the lung fluid more seriously. She specializes in cats, and the first vet was more of a...
I am seeking a second opinion currently. He is on oxygen and being tested. The first vet lost his lung sample, which infuriates me. I am so deep in the negative right now but I would give anything if it bought him a few months. Last night he ate and drank some, which the first vet said 'once he...
I never said it was milky white. It was tan with white flecks. He did it because it was an emergency visit and none of his staff were present. I saw the XRay, it was no fibrosis of any kind. His lung capacity is visibly diminished and obscured by a viscous transparent jelly, and his heart wasn't...
The vet tried draining his other lung today. His lung capacity is diminished by a jelly like substance that has hardened in one of his lungs, which is why the initial draining was unsuccessful. He doesn't have long to live, and nothing can be done about it. It is called FIP.
He hasn't purred in two days as far as I know. The vet did attempt draining his lungs, and recommends we hold off on the XRay for a few days. While I don't have the money for such a thing, I have no qualms about bouncing a check or overdrafting my account for him.
The vet tried draining his lungs and found no liquid or anything. He says he will give him an X-Ray if his condition worsens. I'm just worried its congestive heart failure and theres nothing I can do.
I have a syringe, and have given him water and gravy from those little Rachel Ray cat foods, but I am fairly new to this sort of thing
The Rachel Ray thing doesnt appear to have a ton of sodium, but it doesn't really specify quantity
He's had lung and eye problems and allergies most of the time we've had him, but he was just getting better now that we moved to a less dusty home, and now this.
He was a stray, but he's suspected to be seven according to the vet. He's never been particularly interested in food, and is a picky eater. Our vet gave us a free emergency visit and says that he may either have heart failure or asthma and gave him a steroid shot. He's breathing at the same rate...
My and my fiancee's blue point Siamese has begun breathing funny the past week. Our vet postponed his appt until tomorrow, but I'm worried that he's uncomfortable or suffering.
He has lost interest in food and we've felt his spine and thigh bones are more pronounced. He's notably less talkative...
