    How contagious is FIP?

    Well, the vet ruled it was the dry form of FIP based on both the titer and his symptoms - he had fever that wasn't responding to antibiotics, lethargy, lack of appetite, weight loss, and it all started with a URI and uveitis. :/ So I do lean toward that diagnosis. Some good news, though. He...

    How contagious is FIP?

    Thank you for that link. I didn't think there was a test for FIP - when they said there was, I was a little confused. I thought all they were testing for was coronavirus, but they kept saying it's a test for FIP, so I wasn't sure.. sometimes I have to wonder about my vets. I figured the other...

    How contagious is FIP?

    I had to put down my last shelter cat from the wet form of FIP in September. It was an absolutely heartwrenching situation, but obviously, there was nothing more we could do. So we waited a month, like our vet and various sources had told us to do. We bleached the house, we cleaned everything...

    RIP Norah.

    Thank you all. It is a heartbreaking disease. I just wish there was some cure for it. It was such an undignified process that she went through.

    which type of dog do you have with your cats?

    I had an Old English Sheepdog, but she wasn't raised with cats so she wasn't too fond of them. She could tolerate them, but could never be left unsupervised. Right now, we have a Pitbull/Lab mix that LOVES cats. He's mesmerized by them. He loved my kitty, and he loves all the outside cats he...

    RIP Norah.

    I had to put my beloved little fifteen-month-old kitty to sleep September 15 due to FIP. She'd only been with us for about six months, but she managed to wiggle her way deep into our hearts. We originally thought our puppy had stepped on her, because she first started limping, and then we had...

    Meow Mix Market Selects have bones in them?

    I'll probably do that. Just to be on the safe side. Hehe. I'm sure she's rearing to get the puppy back - I think now that this has happened she's fed up with his clumsiness!

    Meow Mix Market Selects have bones in them?

    Aah, okay. I've never really noticed them and they've never caused a problem, so I can't imagine why the vet would want us to stop feeding them to her. No, she's an indoor kitty. Our puppy stepped on her a couple days ago and she has a broken vertebrae, so she's just been laying around, so I...

    Meow Mix Market Selects have bones in them?

    My cat had to get some x-rays done today, and the vet said they found some bones in her stomach. Since the only thing she's been eating for the past few days is the Market Selects, he says that's what they're from and she shouldn't eat them anymore. I'm just curious if anyone knows if this is...
