Would just like to thank everyone for all the many many lovely warm wishes and advice throughout this extremely difficult time for me. I am totally on my own with two fatally ill animals and no one to turn too so seeing all your many messages of kindness have meant the world to me

So odd that my vet (the only one in the numerous amount I have visited) should tell me it is contagious? I shall double check when we see him again tomoro

I sit here in tears writing this, after the longest three months of my life BOTH of my boys have been diagnosed with Fip. Numerous tests have been carried out and, unfortunately everything points to this and I am getting to the bottom of the list of things to try. When I see them everyday I see...

Thanks for the recommendation re the food. I shall pick some of that up tonight and give it a try.

Hi Jem. Am sorry. This has been going on for 9weeks now and I’m probably confusing everyone. My head is so not with it. Moses started with third eyelid, tremors in head and lethargy. At first vet appointment he was diagnosed with a brain tumour and euthanasia was suggested. He has had two...

Thank you for your response. I have only given Winnie the medication so far as I read that it can cause neurological symptoms and Moses has enough of that going on right now. Tbh, my vets seem relatively unconcerned about everything. Seems to be that, as they don’t have a temperature and their...

I think it is slowly coming to an end for poor little Moses. He isn’t eating well now. I am so concerned....he just sits hunched up and tremors. I have bought some butter basted turkey to try him with and I’m really hoping I can get him to eat later. This has been the worst two months of my...

Update for you, just in case anyone out there is still listening to my ramblings? You have no idea how much it is helping me...just typing all this and getting advice. Sooooo.....off we went to the vets. FIV and Felv negative 🙌 I feel as tho a little weight has been lifted and they may have...

Booked in for 3.30pm. My regular vets have just called. They have been contacted to ask for my babies records. The lady on reception said “I was going to mention you should perhaps have a second opinion when I saw you Saturday”. I cannot put into words how angry and bitter I am feeling towards...

I am all set to call the veterinary college, when they open in 5mins. I shall keep you posted. We need serious help.

Thank you for all your advice. I have not slept much at all. Winnie has been in the litter box all night and has also been sick. My plan of action for today is to call the vets to get him something for his diarrhoea. I shall also ask them to transfer my records to a veterinary college that I...

Thank you so much. I shall have a search about and see what may be beneficial. I do also plan on calling the vets tomoro for sure. They are both very overdue on their defleaing, but I didn’t want to upset them further by adding more chemicals to their skin. I have just made a tunnel out of my...

Oh goodness! Dear little Yammy. I’m so pleased he’s improving. You are truly a wonderful fur Mumma. You’ve really been through it with your animals. I’m so pleased u didn’t listen the the vets....mine too recommended euthanasia thinking Moses had a brain tumour, yet 8 weeks later, he is still...

Thanks Jem. I appreciate your response and yes, after reading your post, think it would be unlikely. Especially within three weeks of each other. This is all such a mystery and, I guess as a human being, I’m frantically scrabbling around for answers and making myself ill along with it. First it...

Hello again and thank you for your kind words and advice. I am terrified this is FIP. I have been doing so much reading up on it and it says that lysine should not be given to cats that are suspected to have this disease? Do all cats with FIP have a fever do you know? Perhaps it would be worth...

Thank you for your response di and bob. I am just terrified that this is something worse than a uri now. We are up to 8 weeks for Moses and 5 weeks for little Winnie. I shall try the Lysine approach thank you. It it the neurological side of things that worry me. I have been googling constantly...

Just had call from the vets. Moses urea is slightly elevated but apart from that, everything else is normal! What the heck is going on with my boys? Please help. This is a mystery!

They are eating well. Definate lethargy although both still are alert and ask to go outside ?!

Dear All, I felt I had to post as I am sat here in tears. Neither of my boys are getting better. Moses has had another seizure and Winnie is now showing neurological signs which makes me suspect FIP, although neither of them had a fever at the vets this morning. I am currently awaiting blood...

Neither of my cats are getting any worse, which is good, but neither are getting better very quickly. I tried the steam bathroom trick yesterday with Winnie and he purred so loudly I’m sure it was helping. Moses eyes look so slightly better. I just wondered if anyone had any info on how long...
