I had a kitten who developed the wet form of fip. We decided to euthanize her in January, it was very quick (about 3 days) from diagnosis to full progression. In less than 24 hours, I was heartbroken and gave into my broken heart and my kids and got an older kitten. The house was scrubbed top to bottom professional and with bleach. Litter boxes, cat posts, and food bowels were tossed. Yuki (probably about a year old) has been relatively healthy except a few issues: 1) she has a hard (I mean hard, not squishy) belly that is distended. She is worm free, but has had constipation issues in the past and 2) occasionally she will have runny eyes--clear discharge. It doesn't last more than a day or two and it almost looks like allergies (red and swollen). Yuki eats well, except she refuses wet food. She does drink some water. Her stool is normal. She does have a layer of fat under her skin, her coat is shiny and soft. Yuki plays and acts normal other than being swollen she's pretty healthy looking. For food she is eating Earthborne. I am so paranoid that she has fip too! Any thoughts? Please help....I know that we should have waited to get another cat, it wasn't very responsible of me to bring her in so soon.
