FIP - your experiences.

[moosmom]

FIP (Feline Infectious Paratonitis) is a Carona virus. There are many types. The "wet" one is the one that is fatal.

Just because a cat tests positive for it, doesn't mean he has it. It means he's been exposed to it. MooShoo, my sphynx tested positive for it at 3 months. He's a 17.6 lb tub of cat and healthy as a horse.

Cats can live long lives with FIP depending upon what kind of STRAIN it is.

I am so sorry Lizzie. FIP is the worst of the worst for our kitties. All I really know about it is that the test that they run to see if they have it, is really not that reliable. They are sometimes wrong, and sometimes it takes a few tries.... I would not depend on the test, IMO.

I would just be careful, and look for the symptoms to arise. And I know how careful you are with trying not to pass it along. Keep your head up, and I will pray for these babies...

Prayers for Smoky Jones and for sweet Fiorella. Has she had a full blood work up? Poor baby, it isn't right for a 7 month old to sleep all the time.
