Hello, my name is Ivana and I am from Serbia. I am reaching out to you because I need urgent help. I adopted a kitten 1 month ago. She is now 3 months old. She is cleansed from parasites, and she got her vaccine. Around 2 weeks ago, I've noticed that kitten is sleeping excesively, and than she started urinating all over the house, although her litter box was always acesible to her. I took her to the vet, he said that her body temp.is high and gave her antibiotics. Several days after, I've noticed that her belly is big and swallen. I took her to the vet again and he did ultrasound and said that belly is full of water and she has FIP. He punctired water from belly and said that it shows that it is virus desease. He did FASTest and it turned out negative. He gave her diuretics, and she lost a lot of belly water. She is lethargic, but she eats a lot, she started using litter box again for all her needs. I am not sure if this is FIP, could it be anything else. I mus say that other kittens from same stray cat died, but their adopters never took them to the vet. They died very young, few of them 1 month old, and two of them a week ago, but we don't know their diagnosis. Vet said that euthanasia is only solution. Could you please tell me if there is any hope that this is not this lethal virus. Did anyone have those symphtomes but not FIP?
