I'm just needing some brainstorming help.
Basic Info:
- "G" is 8 months old
- Had 5 litter mates + 2 "half" siblings. All 8 kittens have GI issues and are on strict diets (canned only.)
- Adopted 6 wks ago (along with 1 sibling and 1 "half" sibling.)
- She is loosing weight; but has a good appetite (she is at 5.2 lbs...should be at least 7+)
- No fever
- Elevated globulin level (11...normal is 7, 12/13 is maxed out.)
- She still plays; but, has less energy than normal. So, some lethargy; but, she doesn't sleep/lay around the house all day
- History of Campylobacter and GI issues, sporadic diarrhea. Her last episode of diarrhea was Saturday. She has had formed stool since.
- Sent out bloodwork yesterday (cobalamin panel.)
- "G"s litter mate brother has also been showing aggression towards her, so added stress not helping. "G" does fine with the other kitten, as does her brother.
Thoughts??? The vets are throwing around FIP. I am not sold on this idea at this time. We want to rule out all possibilities.
