UPDATE: (This is going to be a long, complicated, and possibly the last one!) So, today we went to the specialty center where Sora was scheduled to get his ultrasound. When we first went in, the vet said that despite the negative test results from the FIP Virus RealPCR Test, she's still not...

UPDATE: So, again, my husband went to the vet without me. Would've wanted to go but I'm sick and have been in bed all day. Anyway, he just told me the results of the FIP Virus RealPCR Test and----- Sora doesn't have FIP!! I am SO HAPPY when he said this. The vet also made it clear that it's...

@weemomma We haven't had his blood tested recently, not since the one last year on November which for another matter entirely and his bloodwork was normal then. For now we're just waiting for tests done on the fluid that was aspirated from his abdomen. We'll probably have his blood tested (as...

@FeebysOwner That's reassuring and I hope that's the case. I've been hopeful this entire time that it's not FIP mainly because of the color/consistency of the fluid. And thank you for that link! That's the additional testing they're doing. FIP Virus RealPCR Test. I checked the receipt my...

UPDATE: We got the results from testing done on the fluid taken from Sora. According to my husband (he went to the vet right after gym so I wasn't there with him unfortunately), they couldn't really say where the fluid was coming from and could only tell him that the fluid had "some protein" in...

Just a little update about Sora: We're still waiting on results of the test done from the fluid they got from Sora's abdomen, but there has been a change with him. Yesterday we noticed that his abdomen has gone back to normal in size. The bulge that has been so noticeable on him somehow...

Oh and I thought I'll mention this as well: We got his blood tested last year on November 29, 2018 for a completely unrelated issue. The vet used that same blood test to refer Sora's current condition (and mentioned we'll have to have it redone to reflect his current condition accurately) and...

UPDATE: We took Sora to the vet again earlier for his scheduled x-ray. I went there hopeful that they wouldn't find anything besides fat but unfortunately, that isn't the case. :( When they did the x-ray, they did find fluid in his abdomen and so they took some out so they could do more...

Just called the vet to ask about Sora testing positive for coronavirus months ago and they said that yes, he did/does have it but that it's very mild? I don't know what that means for it to be "mild". Showing no signs/symptoms for it, maybe? Because he didn't show any signs of suffering from...

@FeebysOwner Yes, we told him about the squeaking when he's being picked up but the vet still thinks it's all just fat. I will definitely give them a call to ask about the previous testing done on him though. I didn't think to ask if coronavirus was definitely tested before or not. Thank you as...

Hello all~ And I apologies in advance for the big wall of text you're about to see. So our purebred Ragdoll 11 month old cat, Sora, suddenly developed a swelled abdomen a few days ago. To us, it appeared out of nowhere, possibly overnight or maybe within 2 days at most (by our estimate). The...

Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and overall a new cat-mom. I've never owned a cat, much less held one before my husband and I got Sora, our 5-month old (indoor) Ragdoll kitten. We've had him for a little over a month now and we adore him to bits. Problem though, is the fact that he keeps...
