Not so well, the stomach is getting huge, he can't clean himself now. We have to decide what to do, will talk to the vets tomorrow about draining his stomach, however, if it's not recommended, then i guess it's on to plan B, which is to let him go. It's really tough as we have grown so fond of...

Hi, I'm not looking for anyone on the board to save Kegan. I already know what the outcome for FIP is. Just wanted for others to share any info they had on fluid retention. I'm just trying everything I can, and not just the vets here in Houston, but from readers from around the world, that...

PLEASE HELP KEGAN.

kEGAN has such a will to Live. I need advice from anyone who knows anything about FIP. Kegan's stomach is getting too large for words. Does anyone know or has had any experience with this? My vet said draining the stomach can lead to an infection, now another vet says he could go on a...

Oh that's good, my thoughts are with you. I need help with my Kegan now, so I'll be posting that.

hi, sorry to hear Dylan is throwing up. I was wondering if your vet has ruled out any other things that Dylan could possibly have. (I'm just thinking of my Taffy. The vet felt a "mass" in her intestines, which he believes is what brought on the fatty liver syndrome. Taffy use to throw up...

Everyday Kegan's stomach gets bigger and bigger. He's only about 7 months old, the cutest black and white bicolor persian, with a little doll face and black nose. So, so sweet. It's getting harder and harder for him to walk around, his stomach is SO swollen. I think he's having problems...

I think it's so cute your stories about your b/f and Dylan! Maybe you should write a book. I had the same thing happen with me a month ago when our kitten Kegan first became ill, and then my other cat too, etc. etc. I talked about nothing else, ever, and although my husband loves our cats...

Hi, wanted to respond to your threat. My first cat KeKe, who we had until last August, when he was put to rest at 18 1/2 years of age, was diagnosed with PKD when he was about 15. I noticed he was urinating alot, and drinking lots of water, took him into the vet and that's what he had. She...

From everything you've posted lately about Dylan, I think you should be extremely optimistic. It really seems he's doing great. Try not to worry so much. Your vet sounds great, Dylan's getting the best of care, and look how much he's improved since this all started. I know it's hard, but...

I am SO happy for you, so HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You almost wonder if it was really fatty liver that he had, only cause 2 vets told me they don't eat ANYTHING if they have that. Now wouldn't that be great!!!

I'm thinking about you and Dylan. How are you both doing?

I'm sorry your still hurting so much . . . It takes time and nothing will heal your heart more than time, time marches on, passes, and then you'll come to terms with it all. Everyone is different, and for some the process is longer than for others. FYI, Kegan is fine, (belly still swollen)...

Be hopeful about Dylan. From what my vet told me with Taffy, there is NO way she would eat anything, and she didn't (and I tried everything) But Dylan IS eating, and that is such a positive sign. FYI, my boy KeKe, who was diagnosed with diabetes and kidney failure at 15, lived another 3 good...

I've been following your posts for weeks, but have been too grief sticken with my FIP kitty, Kegan, and my adopted persian Taffy, who suddenly had to put to sleep on Monday to reply. Dylan is Beautiful, and so are you for everything you are doing for him. Perhaps Traci is right about a more...

Thank you everyone who responded. I have to believe that every thing i have read, hours and hours on the internet, 2 vets who i respect, I have to believe that it is what it is and seeking yet another opinion from everything i've learned is not going to change it. I would like to know...

I spoke with the vet yesterday, Kegan does have FIP, diagnosed from the fluid which was taken from his stomach. No diarrhea last night, and he otherwise is doing well. Still sleeps alot, etc. but other than that is a happy kitty who loves sitting in the big chair in the family room watching tv...

I'm so sorry, thinking of you and knowing the pain your in.

Tracii, I am NOT relying on message boards for Kegan health, and quite frankly don't appreciate that comment. I have spend close to $1,000.00 on both of my babies, these message boards for me is mostly a way for me to connect with others who lover their kitties as much as I do. And while I...

It's a comfort thinking about the bridge. This is Kegan's second vet. (and i wish he was playing, hasn't done so in 6 weeks, poor little guy. When he's not under the chair, he just can't keep his beautiful eyes off of me. I think he really thinks i'm his mommy now. About going potty, he had...
