    FIP has taken my big girl April


    She had gone down rapidly the past couple of weeks .... lost weight and was low-energy. I had taken her for a brief "work you in" vet appt. last week and they just gave her an antibiotic for Upper Respiratory. Over the weekend she got no better, and her gums were white! I knew her belly also felt extra soft, and that was in the back of my mind.

    Took her to a very thorough vet today, had a belly tap and x-ray which was conclusive for FIP. She was PTS.

    I am heartbroken as she was a true lover girl, and was sharing herself with me and Dr. Brunner up to the very end.

    Rest in Peace my beautiful big Coon girl, Miss April.
