...on a very tight budget, this will factor in with my question.:bluepaw:
He examined Stripe and said his eyes made him really question Ocular Dry FIP with the Anterior Uveitis. That coupled w the seizure, Neuro?
He advised to get him established w a clinic, CBC and Chem Panel run and go from...
Hi. Have you joined the FIP Warrior group to see if they can provide some guidance for you? Since the group's sole existence is because of FIP, they are going to have a lot more knowledge/expertise to offer.

This is beyond wonderful news! It took long enough to get legal treatment for FIP passed but glad it will officially be here June 1. Thank you FIP Global Cats.:thanks:
Hi everyone.
I am posting here to see if anyone has an anecdotal experience regarding the early symptoms of dry FIP.
One of my cats (1.5 yrs old) was recently diagnosed with dry FIP and his symptoms started out as a bizarre neurological episode leaving him walking hunched over with his tail...
Most cats are exposed to feline coronavirus, but only some cats have it mutate inside their bodies to the fatal condition (FIP). NO researchers have figured out why some cats get FIP. I think FIP must be much more common than it's widely said to be. I lost a kitten to FIP, then a year later...
From what I understand a constant fever can be an indicator of FIP and tests can be unreliable so they have to confirm by looking at blood tests/overall symptoms. I would inquire with your vet about this.
If they do confirm it is FIP please join the FIP Warriors group on Facebook for further...
Yes, and a couple moderators have been great! However, I'm wanting to explore the option of oral meds before going the injection route. Thought I'd see if anyone here could weigh in on their experience.

If your cat is on treatments for FIP, have you posted to their site to ask for others who may have experienced anything similar? It may be something that passes after the treatments are complete, but you would serve you and your cat better to ask those who are familiar with using FIP treatments.
My first thought also, having lost a cat to FIP. I hope it is not. There is a cure now but I understand it's expensive. I would have moved heaven and earth to get a cure for my Darcy.
I am so sorry to hear this. It sounds like you have done a lot to try to gather the funds to get his treatment. I presume you joined the FIP Warrior group - did they have any recommendations for assistance?

Most folks will share their GoFundMe web link - can you do that? The one...
This article does mention a tablet and an oral suspension being effective as well, so that's great info to have!! Now I need to navigate where to find this option.
I can't find much on this site related to oral meds vs. injections. I did find this article about the current FIP treatments and some contact information. Maybe there would be some informative help through these...
If she’s eating a lot, it’s not uncommon for kitten tummies to look very round while they are little.
Wet FIP can cause a bloated belly, but I think you said earlier the vet does not think she has FIP.
...Bowie - an abuse survivor "foster fail" (who failed immediately as he won our hearts right away) - was just diagnosed August 11 with presumed wet FIP. I've been with cat shelters for years, and know how Wet FIP usually looks in kittens (altho an adult with it is new for me!). His only two...
