About a week ago one of my 5 month old kittens (Julian) was pretty much diagnosed with the "wet" form of FIP. He is not acting sick but does have the potbelly and is losing alot of weight. We've got steroids from the vet to keep him comfortable but I have a question about one of my other kittens.
Daisy is Julians sister and just today she started acting sluggish. She did not want to eat, play, eat a treat, or any of the things she usually loves. She's got watery eyes and I've cleaned up two places where one of them has vomited. I'm not sure who did it but I'm thinking it was her since all my other cats seem just fine and normal.
Can the wet form of FIP spread? I asked my vet and she said all my other cats are just fine and won't catch what Julian has.
I was wondering if anyone else has lost more than one cat to FIP and if the second one showed any sick symptoms like Daisy is. I am pondering isolating Julian but I don't know if I should.
Any advice or thoughts on what's going on with Daisy? Her and Julian are going to the vet saturday anyway but till then I need to find this all out before I worry myself sick.
thanks
