I've read that the cats exposed to the coronavirus (various strains) can later develop FIP, which is possibly the case with my 6-month old kitten. The thing is, I don't know that she was exposed to a coronavirus at the breeder's home (my kitten has not been exposed to any other cats but her brother, who comes from the same cattery). Is there any way to conclude that the breeder's cattery is the cause of this deadly illness? I do know that the breeder's cats did have Bordetella, including my kitten at one time. (I was given this information *after* my kitten came home.)
Is there any link between Bordetella and a coronavirus? Or is there any way to link a coronavirus as the cause of my kitten's (possibl) illness?
I keep praying the vet will call and say that surgery is needed, that it's not FIP.
I've only had my baby for two, short months!!!
Thank you,
Jenk
