He tested positive for FIP but our vet said that since he was under 6 months old he could be testing positive for his mother's antibodies. Doctor scheduled a second test a few weeks later, the count was better but not where she wanted to see it. A third test was done and Groucho tested negative. This might be something to discuss with your vet.
Many prayers continue to be prayed for Mr. Meow and for you.....
This sounds much more like FIV than FIP. (very easy to confuse)

Also, keep in mnd there are 2 forms of FIP (effusive and non-effusive) aka wet vs. dry forms. The wet form is much worse.

But, Mr Meow has been here for almost 7 months...... His only initial symptom was that he would not eat. He hasn't had diarrhea until recently (and I am not sure whether he still does today or not)

What I can tell you is that for the past 2 days or so he has eaten VERY well!

So....we wait for the results of the "stains".
