Hello everyone, this is my first post here please bare with me if I waffle.
Ok, so a year ago I got my first cat, a British Short hair called Zod, great lad.
We took in another kitten (Marv) around 4 months ago and began to introduce them which went extremely well.
A few weeks back Zod became sick and was off his food.
After a visit to the vet we realised he had water on the stomach and it was Wet FIP.
He continued to decline quickly and by day 3 he was gone...which was horrible.
Marv, my remaining kitten has been tested positive for FCoV (it seems that he was possibly the carrier of the original virus in the first place)
The vet said although he has FCoV he has high Titres levels and that basically equates to FIP.
This is where I'm finding this confusing.
What he's telling me and what Iv read are contradicting.
I was wondering if anyone could shed anymore light on the subject for me as to what the chances are of my remaining little buddy developing FIP, so I can at the very least prepare myself for what might come.
Thanks, I hope this makes sense.
