Persians lost


by: PL on Tue, Feb 05 2008

This story is awful. I never heard of FIP until I got it. I had 3 older persians and 3 kittens. I got another kitten that died from FIP at 5 months old. We did not know what was wrong with her. The autopsy provided by the university proved it positive. 6 months later my 15 yr old died with it as well. Both had dry form. Then over the weekend, 1.5 years later, my 19 yr old died with the wet form. I have 3 3yr old babies left. This is devastating. I thought that only a small percentage of cats in a household would get it. Odds, so I thought, were that we would not have it again. I am frustrated because I do FIP7b testing. They were negative and I thought it was gone. When my 19 yr old died, she was negative. I just do not understand.

    My 7 month old cat isn’t eating or drinking, she’s lethargic, and weak. She has been rolling her eyes non stop from left to right, or right to left. She isn’t vomiting and doesn’t have diarrhea. [more..]

    Our little Brando was just diagnosed with FIP yesterday. He went from being a cute little ball of energy, to being very lethargic in a matter of days. We first noticed that his gait was off, then his belly looked swollen, and finally, we noticed that the inside of his ears were jaundiced. [more..]

    We had one indoor cat. I regret the day we took a second cat, a stray, into our home. Apparently, the stray had FIP and passed it on to our indoor cat. Both cats died last year. [more..]

    My lil’ Munchkin was such a welcome addition to my home after Iost my loveable Batman to a speeding car. And Munchkin sure picked up where Batman left off, loved to be held, could climb up on my lap and perch himself up on my shoulder like a baby. I was so happy! [more..]

    My beloved Harley Sue of 12 years was put down on Wednesday, January 30. She was a diabetic cat and I had been treating her for 2 1/2 years with insulin injections twice a day. I had been prepared to lose her to that illness…I never thought she might die of FIP. [more..]
