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...
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.
...have any websites that might be i reasonable with a pricing reach the end of the rope cities been doing so good. On February 24 diagnosed with FIP. Was sent home to die. I got in touch with people on FB she's been getting shots an amazing how well they work the shots but she developed this...
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?

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...
FIP is not contagious. The coronavirus that can mutate to FIP is.
Yes, the treatments are not valuable unless FIP is diagnosed. It will do nothing for the coronavirus.
I flagged your post to the moderators about changing the title Hopefully, they will handle it.
No one knows for sure why some cats who have coronavirus end up with it mutating to FIP. It is assumed to be related to a weak immune system, which can happen in younger cats, most often under the age of 2-3 because they are still developing their immune system. It can happen to older cats whose...
...him back to the vet tomorrow. Does this sound like FIV? I'm just very frustrated and don't know what it could be.
I have also watched videos of cats with neuro/ocular FIP and he doesn't seem similar to them..he's only been sick for a few days though so it's possible his condition will get worse
...his age, unless it would be genetically acquired, but there are too many other issues going on. I think as others have mentioned, this could be FIP. Are you familiar with it, and can you ask your vet about it? It is very hard to confirm through most testing, so see what your vet says, and...
