No fleas since being in our care, but she was originally found as a stray kitten so possibly way back then. It sounds like she responded well to her blood transfusion last night. Still has a fever this morning, back up to 106. FIP med is on the way if we want to try it. Not sure if we should do...

Whew, okay. So many more updates. They started her on Doxycycline today, temp still around 105. Ultrasound showed nothing remarkable. Her anemia has gotten worse and they believe her to have IMHA like her body is overreacting to something. They're giving her a partial blood transfusion today...

No, neither of us have been sick (well, unless you count me who was just diagnosed with cancer). My husband and I work from home, rarely have visitors, and all our cats are indoor so I’m 99% certain this wasn’t from an outside source. As for an update, I drove her to a Blue Pearl two hours away...

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately we still don't have any positive news today. Got an update from the vet earlier and she still has a fever, around 104. She's only eating a small bit of Churu and acts like she wants kibble but feels understandably bad. They've had her on nausea meds and appetite...

I still have some concerns around FIP. I'm no expert on it, but the symptoms do seem to fit? She doesn't have any fluid in her abdomen, so it would have to be the dry version, right? From what our vet said, you normally test the fluid to confirm, so how do you ever really know if a cat has it...

Today's update: nothing remarkable. Her fever went back up this morning, then down again after more Onsior, then up again now. We hear that she's only eating a very little bit, but perked up when her fever was down, was vocal like normal. The CBC pathology results came back and showed nothing...

Some quick good news! They just called and her temp is back down to 100.6 and she's eating a bit. She'll be there overnight and we'll check her tomorrow and see what the CBC results tell us.

More updates! So last night after eating that small bit of food, she went south again. Very lethargic, couldn't get comfortable, obviously unhappy. She slept with us in our bedroom again but was very wobbly still and unlike herself. Did not want to eat anything this morning so I knew her fever...

Just got back from the ER. They did x-rays and said that her stomach is dilated and colon has lots of gas. There were some odd bits in her stomach but no obvious obstruction. Moreso looked backed up, I suppose. They asked if she eats litter, which we've never observed before. She does love to...

I called the emergency vet earlier, but the first appointment they could get us in is a couple hours from now. This afternoon she HAS perked up at times and ran to her favorite stimuli, like the basement door opening or the food container opening, which seems positive. But still, no, she's not...

It was 103.4 at it's highest before we left her at the vet Friday, and was back down in normal range when we picked her up yesterday. They did do labs but I didn't receive a copy. Kicking myself for not asking yesterday! No x-rays or fecal. They attributed her lack of eating to the low potassium...

I don't believe so — I'm not familiar with that test. What does it help indicate? How would she have caught FIP? We do have two other cats in the household, and neither of them are exhibiting any similar symptoms. All are indoor cats with very limited exposure to outside influences. Wondering...

Hi everyone, Our 4-year-old girl, who is normally very active, spunky, and hungry has taken a turn and so far no one can figure out really what's happening. This happened in a matter of a day or so. Wednesday - fine, eating her meals enthusiastically as normal, then Thursday her appetite...

Hey everyone — a pawwwsitive update. (You can tell I'm getting more sleep, I'm cracking puns.) My boy's poo started to firm up even more over the past weekend, and the last two days it has been lovely solid logs, one a little gooey, one less so. I don't know if it was taking him off the...

Whew, so he didn’t go all night, and finally pooed this morning, probably about 29-30 hours since the last. And it’s better! 🎉 Apologies for a gross photo, but I’d love a second opinion. This time it seems like he has some formed logos with a bit of gooeyness that I’m not sure happened towards...

Hey there! Yes, I think we're finally moving in the right direction, although slowly. He's going about once a day now, and last night it was pudding-y but with some more formed lumps — hoping the pure runny stuff is past us! You know, Proviable has a paste that may be similar, and it's used in...

Okay, so just talked with his vet, and we're going to drop the s. boulardii for a couple days and see what happens. I actually started him in on it pretty quickly, the day after we started the Clavamox and diarrhea occurred for the first time on 10/15, and he's been on it since, first the...

Another update. So Tuesday evening he did a poo that started off pudding but had a more soft, formed end, which I considered progress, but then overnight did a completely runny one. There was also a soft serve poo in another box that night, but I’m not 100% sure if it was his as we do have two...

Yes, thankfully he's been a good drinker, and I serve Churu (with his potassium mixed in) with his kibble meals, and add extra water to every wet meal as well. In terms of just food, right now he's getting: Breakfast: 4-5 pieces of kibble as treats with his pills (kibble is Instinct Ultimate...

Oookay, so today we had a runny poo around midnight after I posted before, then another one about 6pm, so 18 hours apart. Today he’s been a little gassy. Is that a good or bad sign? He doesn’t seem to be in discomfort at all. But I know that stink = bacteria so maybe something is changing? It’s...
