I'm back from the vets but still worried. They did a belly tap immediately for the wet form of FIP, and there was no fluid. They gave me a sense of relief at first. They also did a combo test for Aids / Leukemia and that was negative. My vet came out into the lobby and told me it was negative, and so I cried tears of joy and relief. Then she called me back into the exam room. She also tested his blood for his packed cell volume. It was low and that has her worried. It could still be the DRY from of FIP.I am so scared! She gave him fluids and antibiotics and a can of prescription food for him to try. He licked the food a few times and walked away. Dr. LaValley gave me a special syringe to force feed him with, and I got about 10 cc's in him that way.
She told me to try and check his temperature later today and see if it has come down at all. I am also supposed to call her back late this afternoon. If he has shown no signs of improvement, then I am to take him back tonight.
Please continue your prayers, I am fearing the worst for my boy.
Kim
