@mrsgreenjeens @white shadow thank you for the support and for sharing all the resources. This has been a roller coaster journey but being in this community really helps a lot. @hunter1 I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty... He is in a better place now :grouphug: We can only try to be the...

Hi all - Just want to share the good news. I brought Biscuit to see an internal medicine specialist yesterday, he was given a chest x-ray and an abdomen ultrasound. He has no fever, no fluids in abdomen or chest, no enlarged lymph nodes. All organs look perfectly healthy. The internal med doctor...

Finally heard from my vet (who diagnosed Biscuit with "FIP with high possibility"). Her reasoning was that "FIP is a top consideration for a young cat with uveitis and fever". He had fever for that one single day - it subsided after the IV fluid. That makes me even more suspicious of the...

To (kind of) answer my initial question, I came across this research paper, published in 2012 in Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a3bb/026ec63407415274cf9285ee2244cfbdad52.pdf They examined 100 hospitalized cats showing signs of FIP (all had lethargy and...

Thank you white shadow! I *think* I posted my question in the group but it's kind of hard to find where it is... Ah well Yahoo groups require some practice to get used to. I will keep digging :) Here is a picture of him grooming himself in the carrier this morning. Not his best shot, but I was...

I drop in the hospital today to pick up his test results and asked to speak with the vet, but front desk said the vet who gave the diagnosis wouldn't be in until next Monday. I was given the option of emailing vs a consulting session next week. :confused2: I will keep this post alive as he and...

Thank you mrsgreenjeens for the input! If my vet doesn't reply the email, I'll try to schedule a consulting session next week with her. I also sent Biscuit's test results to the hospital affiliated with the shelter where I adopted him, hoping they'd be more experienced with FIP. My little guy...

My sweet sweet boy Biscuit has just been diagnosed with dry FIP. I will seek 2nd opinion next week from a larger vet hospital, but in the meantime, would greatly appreciate the insights from other cat parents here. A bit of history: I adopted Biscuit from the local shelter when he was 4 months...
