That is good if she is now in the hands of a regular vet. The holiday is complicating this, sadly, but keep up your spirits for Cookie and for your sake.

Vet just called. No fever.
Decreased white blood cells. And jaundice
Shallow breaths same as this morning.
Still pneumonia
Still doesn’t want to eat
They’re keeping her overnight and doing more blood in the morning. I asked if things are getting better. He said it’s too early to tell but things are not worse. Things aren’t clear cut and some things are unusual. He said it’s not just pneumonia and here’s some antibiotics type thing. He’s talking about possibly testing bone marrow and testing the fluid from her lungs but not at this time.

Waiting is the hardest part. Be good to yourself, you are doing all you can.

Thank you. The vet says no news is good news and I dread every second of every day because I’m so afraid of a phone call saying she’s gotten worse.

Thank you. I might need someone. She’s only 8 months and it’s so hard because it’s almost like many years with her are promised and now I’m not sure and scared. Cats have 9 lives and I feel like she’s running out of lives.

There was fluid in her chest
He said earlier that fip was in the back of his mind but it moved up on his diagnosis list
I talked to him about the fip meds in Europe and he said it’s all my choice and he can’t professionally recommend it because he doesn’t know much about it

I’m getting a vial if this is her last option
I know the treatment is for 12 weeks
I’m not going to sit around and watch her die

For what it's worth, I thought you might be interested in this thread about a medicine to treat FIP:
FIP Is Treatable Now?

We're all thinking of Cookie and you. :grouphug: Sending special thoughts and more healing vibes her way. :vibes::vibes::vibes:

I have heard of it, and it is discussed in the thread that neely posted. Sending good thoughts for Cookie today!

I have no experience myself with GS-441524.
