Hi! My name is Anna and I have a 7-8 mo old cat woth FPV that is admitted currently.
The story sounds like this. I got Lipi in Sept and first thing I did was test him for FPV, corona and Giardia. He came back negative and the vet told me I should have him dewormed before his vaccines. All said and done and on 8th of Dec we went back to the vet for his vaccine. Before administration, they had a blood test for Leukemia which came back negative and they administered him RCP Felv vaccine. No side effects, at all, until Wednesday night, the 15th of December, when he did not eat, which was very unlike him, as he devoured everything. Thursday he threw up twice, a yellow liquid, and I panicked so I rushed him to the vet and the FPV test came back positive and they admitted him that night. They run blood tests as well, his white cells were sooo low and his neutrophils as well so they started his treatment with Zarzio, something that is used in human chemo, if I'm not mistaken and many other medicine. So far, he ate every day, he didn't threw up at all, his poop is not diarrhea, but just soft poop (I understand that this is somewhat normal, as he is pumped with IVs, antibiotics etc.), he's playful with the staff, he likes the attention, purring like an engine (which is very common for him) but what scares me is that he still has spikes of fever, in the top part of the range; i understood that every morning he gets these spikes. But the doctors do not let him have it for too long and they lower it with medication, but we're on day 5-6 and he still has these spikes.
What I'm trying to understand is how did he get it (no contact with any other unvaccinated cats and he is not interested in our clothes or shoes) and what do you think his evolution could be ? I lost 2 cats in September, one week apart, so I am not getting my hopes up, 2021 sucked so far....
