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.Originally Posted by bossinova
Hopper, I am so sorry to hear this news! I agree 100% with LDG....it wouldn't hurt, and then you can feel completely at peace when the time comes that you did absolutely everything in your power for your little guy. Tank had FIP, but his story is much, much different than Kegan's. He stopped eating, then drinking, then began drinking on his own (we gave him subcue fluids at home, but he never did resume eating), and THEN he developed the fluid in his belly. It came on suddenly and agressively. I can assure you that you will know in your heart when it is time to let him cross. He will let you know. Please do consider still getting a second opinion. As I said, my Tanker saw three different vets. I knew I could not have done anything more for him. FIP is a slippery disease to actually nail down...I realize that you see two of the most common signs of it, but that does not by any means guarantee that this is what your little man is suffering from. Please keep us posted on your decisions.
I would like to know, regarding Tank, after his tummy filled with fluid, exactly what happened to him, step by step, I don't want my sweet baby Kegan to suffer.
