We need to make people aware of this disease. I wish they will have vaccine for Corona virus. I am going through it right now. I just learned on 12/10/17 that he may have FIP because of the symptoms: abdominal fluid and fever. Also labs came back he is losing protein(abnormal albumin). I am very sad and crying everyday when i see him getting weaker day by day. Thank you for sharing this. I think let’s all support this and make people aware of FIP.
I completely agree. Not enough cat lover know about this horrible disease. However, there're a vaccine for it. Most vet don't recommend it because it's not full-proof and if the kitty didn't have the virus from the start the vaccine will just expose them to the virus and make it prone to develop into FIP. I'm sending you lot of love and I hope that in a way this vdo is helpful. It was really hard for me making it because I didn't see it coming. At the time, I see at least ten more years with him. So, the reality was numbing as well as heartbreaking. He was really special, is and will always be really special to me. He was my best friend. I still miss him everyday. Okay, now to the useful stuffs, the food and the nutrition is really important after this. Your kitty will most likely refuse to have any, but try to ease them into it. It'll give hime energy to function. Clean your house with bleach, it's the only thing that kill the virus. Do not pet other cats, because there're a chance that you can pass its along. It's not transmitted to human but we're the carrier. I linked the food in the discription box below the vdo. Praying for the little one- M
@@Yehamarin Did not know about the disease existed until my 1 year old kitty got it and recently had to put him down. I watched him go from the most hyper and loud cat to a cat that was struggling to even walk and lift his head. It was so sad to see him deteriorate in front of my eyes and know that nothing was going to help him live so I decided to put him down once the vet said that he was loosing more and more weight (he was 5 lbs, his last year's visit, he was 7 lbs). Hopefully more and more people know about that horrendous disease.
We adopted siblings and Joey (the brother) who was such a nice a loving cat, started getting weak and lethargic. We took him to the vet and we found out he had FIP. He was 10 months old. We were so sad and had to put him to sleep. My pops took it really hard because he got really close to him. It was so sad watching him have trouble breathing and barely eating. Wth is happened a month ago and within a few weeks he got so bad that the only option was to take him in so he didn’t have to be in pain 😿. I’m glad you gave your baby a nice place to live and comfort until he crossed the rainbow bridge. I’m so sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the video. Our kitty is 7 months old and dying from FIP. I really appreciate the honest video and your story. It's been so tough to watch our kitty Bitu get so sick after he eats. He will eat and then he hunches over with his eyes closed and he's in so much pain. It's one of the saddest things I've had to deal with.
I wish I had seen this video at the time that my Penny was diagnosed. It has been two weeks and today I am mourning her again. We picked up her ashes today and plan on spread them in a window flower box where she used to sit. I only got two more days with her after she was diagnosed. It was hard to feed her and keep her watered, even with steroids. I couldn't let her suffer. Your time with your fur baby was precious and he had the best family. Thank you for sharing your experience and his memory. RIP Penny and Miqe
i feel so sad for everyone commenting they lost their cats to FIP:( there’s a cure now guys!😭 i’m treating my 9 month old FIP cat and she’s doing so good! it’s just been a week since treatment and she’s turning right around, so much energy and playful. she was in pretty terrible shape a week ago, showing signs of advanced stages of wet and dry, losing control of her back legs, diarrhea, shaking. tons of other symptoms but those were the worst noticeable ones. i saw a difference in just one day, and now a week later she’s doing awesome. look up Mutian, Shire, or Blossom for FIP. i think there are one or two more. mutian is the most expensive :( maybe this comment can save a few kitties !
Shafinaz Bahar join the FIP Warriors facebook group! there are a lot of people who are successfully treating their cats. i’m on there too 😬 so much support and advice. there are some vets in the group too. my cat probably wouldn’t have made it if i never joined that group. you have to act fast before it’s too late
natsume hana what i used wasn’t a vaccine. it was hmmm “supplements” lol. the main ingredient is high doses of taurine. yep it’s illegal but i don’t give a damn. it saved my cat’s life. she is 8 months post treatment and doing really well. i haven’t gotten her spayed yet still, i’m afraid to 😭 but we will schedule the surgery again soon
Thank you for sharing your story! I lost my kitten today 8/13/2019. My kittens name was Nugget. He had the same disease and I had to make the toughest decision to let him go. Thanks for reminding me that I have to remember his life and that we have good memories to always remember. I know that both our babies are in heaven.
OMG. I am bawling my eyes out. You are such a good, strong, special human. I am going through the same thing with one of our rescues, a 16 months old boy Bernard who I saved from horrible conditions at a brink of his death. We are not 100% sure that it is FIP and if it is it would be the dry form. I must say thank you Yeha Marin for the wonderful person you are, so caring, loving and strong. Thank you for giving him the life you did. Please adopt another unfortunate soul who is waiting for someone to love him/her. There are soooo many animals out there who need a chance. We have a small cat sanctuary, with 70 cats who were living on the streets, dying but now they have food, friends, heated homes and love and care. So, we often deal with their medical health condition declining. But this is the first time we are potentially dealing with FIP. I am completely devastated, exhausted and depressed. I am losing my mind knowing that he will die very soon yet he is still fighting and that makes it so painful. Torture. Anyhow... Thank you for this video. Much love and respect to you Yeha.
earthbalance77 Thank you for your heartfelt message and for saving the stray. I think I will forever adopting. But Miqe will always occupy the most special place in my heart ❤️
@@Yehamarin I understand you totally. Bernard is dead and I am broken. Myself being vegan and animal rescuer, I am affected by pain and suffering of animals all the time. But I must admit that Bernard was very special to me, so smart, intelligent and KIND. At the moment, I see black and just want to die to be with Bernard and the others who departed me already.
earthbalance77 You're so kind and full of love. Please don't let the grief overtaken your light. You're strong and worthy. The world is a much better place with you in it. I'm sure the animals are in better place with you as well. Please don't give up on us and the world. I'm sending you lot of love and support.
You're in my prays He is an beautiful little boy Sad this happen You loved him dearly Your emotional pain is very deep I can see it in the video He loved you with his whole heart Unconditional love is the purest love that is given without expecting it to be returned God bless you for saving him and giving him your heart
I am so terribly sorry. My Miss Poppy was diagnosed with dry FIB 2 weeks ago. It came on suddenly and we were blown out of the water. I adopted her and she was a rescue kitty out of Spain. She is being treated with meds for fever and antibiotics and also steroids immune depressors. Her appetite is good and she has gotten alot of energy back and has gained weight. She also moves around alot enjoys being spoiled and we spoil her rotten. I am enjoying every second that we have with her and keeping her as comfortable as possible. Her response to the treatment has been a blessing and I pray that she continues to respond.
How is Miss Poppy doing ? I hope all is well ! Just interested as our little baby is the same situation and really worry about how long he can make it . Was diagnosed just 4 days ago !
i am so sorry. thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for being so kind and offering the best possible life he could have hoped for, and the love he needed, given his limited time on this earth.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of FIP. This is my first time learning about this today. On Wednesday, June 15, 2016, (she was about 6 months old) in the morning while I was still in bed praying I heard a cat crying. When I went out to get her she was under a car. I let her smell my hand and she came right out. Of course I kept her, she was a beautiful Calico cat. She stayed healthy, and very active until around maybe the end of November 2017. Her health started declining. (Breathing hard, as time went by she had to breath with her mouth open. Also she became weak and could no longer jump up on the counter which was what she had done every morning. Her stomach became big and she lost weight and her appetite. This sound like what she had I am sure it is. She was euthanized on Saturday, December 30, 2017. I send you so much love for what you have done for me and others. Now that t know I feel better. Her name is Lolita, (I also called her Lola most of the time). I kept some of her things in my storage space should they be thrown away? Blessings on you life and I love you for loving your cat so much and other cats such as mine! (I had her cremated also) Love from Marierosa and Lolita😘
Hi Marierosa, thank you so much for taking the time to tell me your story. It broke my heart. Your comment was the first thing I read today. It brought me back to why I made this video in the first place. It was personal in many way and I felt that I could not be the only one going through it. I'm happy it helped you in some way. It certainly help me cope with losing him unexpectedly like this. If you want to have other cats, it's best to let the toys go. It's hard for me too because I need a reminder of him. But, it needed to be done since I still have two other healthy one at home. The virus is deathly and could be alive for years and we as human, are carrier of it. when I cremated Miqe, I put his toy along with it. So, he won't get bored up there. I hope little Lola rest easy with the angels. She's a star now. You did everything you could and we have to let them go. I think Lola is lucky to have you, it could not have been not easy making a hard decision for them. But, you did your best. - M
Thank you for being a wonderful human. There are not enough of good people. Please adopt from streets or a shelter another soul who is waiting for someone like you. In Lolita's name. Much love and respect.
@@Yehamarin Every animal we lost stays with us forever. I think of every each of them. Even raccoons and birds. Animals are amazing creatures, innocent and pure. That is what makes our bond so special.
My cat died on monday and the vet thinks it was possibly fip. I had to feed him because he wouldn't eat on his own. I did everything I could to make him get better and save his life but he died. He fought so hard though but his body gave up. It is so hard. Thank you for being such a good cat mummy and for helping him even while it hurt you to see him suffer. He knew you loved him. ❤
I'm very glad for this video. I'm sure your cat had wonderfull life with you :) I'm very moved by your care about Miqe. At the moment me and my cat are fighting this terrible disease :( It's very devastating to see a cat suffer and know that you can't do much to help him :( I wish all the best for CATpeople :)
My Lily cat was diagnosed yesterday with FIP, I found this video very helpful, thank you! Right now I'm making her comfortable for her last weeks. She was drained yesterday also, I feel like this was very hard on her, I'm hoping its cause of the drugs they put her under with & she'll bounce back in a couple days.. Your Miqe was gorgeous, thank you for taking such great care of him
Cindy Schulte thank you for taken the time to comment. I hope Lily is comfortable. Miqe was so smart and beautiful. I still think of him always. I love the curly cue. Spooks must be such a cutie.’
I just found your channel. Thank you for sharing. You have no idea how your video helps me to prepare for the worst. My cat is now suffering from FIP. Similar to yours he has liquid in his thoracic space. He has undergone thoracentesis twice. He is now at home after spending a week at the hospital. He still needs fluid injection everyday since he is taking diuretics. I don't know how much time I have with him. He was a stray cat when I took him. We've only been together for roughly 6 months but I love him immensely. He is around 1 year old now.
thanks for this vid u seem to did great work to help him..bless u ..i have two sphynx cats i got from the shelter and one of their brothers died of FIP so they assume the other four also have the coroner virus. What was the thing u noticed first when u realized he was sick? i'm a bit paranoid..i watch their bellies all the time and when they dont eat i start to panic XD
+MsLipsticklover In my case, it was fever. His body temperature constantly changing every hour or so. If you change the litter every week and keep the sphynxs in door, it shouldn't be a problem. Sometime the virus won't show sign if their immune system is strong. All the best of luck to you and your cat
We just lost our second kitten (six months a part) to FIP. The first kitten died with the dry form within a week of this deadly virus. The next kitten just died on 7/2/18 of the wet form. Once her stopped eating our biggest nightmare came true, that she too has FIP. She was breathing really fast and was hoping it was asthma but the X-ray showed the fluid build up. She died right away with the wet form. Total devastation and loss from this disease. They two kittens came from different shelters 5 months a part. We feel Annie (kitten that died first) brought the disease with her and therefore Zuki got the disease and died 6 months later. One day healthy and happy and then suddenly everything changed so quickly. We have one cat left a Bengal, 6 years old and we pray he won't die next. Most pet owners have never heard of the corona virus and awareness is needed. Thank you for sharing your story. It helps us in our grieving.
Jan B Dear Jan, I’m so sorry for your lost. When Miqe passed, I still have two older ones that make it. I’m hoping for the best to your 6 years old as well.
Thank you for your video. I’m sorry for your loss, he was beautiful. My baby girl was diagnosed with FIP today. She’s 2 years and 5 months old. We’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old. She has been the most energetic, vocal and happiest cat out of my other 3. She has the wet form. I’m just so heartbroken, and what hurts the most is knowing that she is so young and didn’t get the chance to live out her years. I beat myself up because I had a baby 7 months ago, and haven’t been able to give her all the attention I used to. And now she’s going to be leaving me. I’m still caring for her. I will be until she lets me know she’s ready to go. Please pray for her to go in comfort and peace...Her name is Rogue Penelope. My baby girl.
blahness762 I’m so sorry. Please don’t blame yourself. I beat myself up too. But it won’t do anybody any good. She needs you to be positive and strong. Make the best of the bad situation and don’t regret anything. Sending love your way
Thank you for your sharing. My vet just told me she is 99% sure that my cat got fip today, but I still have the last hope for the lab result... I don't know what I can do for her, but you help me a lot. Thank you.
Hi Leona, I'm glad that in some way this vdo has help you. I'm sorry to hear about your cat. It's a horrible disease but let hope for the best. You can be strong for her and whenever it gets difficult, just remember to make each day count. Don't blame yourself. You're doing the best you can. We're praying for you. -- M
Hope you are ok now! I have a cat(Petai) with Dry form FIP with neurological symptoms. After 12 weeks of GS441524 treatment, she relapsed, perhaps the virus has developed certain strain of resistance towards the drugs. And now I am looking into plan B which is to use Electrode Colloidal Water to see if there is any improvement. Petai is a fighter so she deserves more chances. Please pray for her thank you.
Hi may I know what's is electrode colloidal water? My 5 months baby boy just got diagnosed with wet fip yesterday.. liquid started to fill his chest thus making it hard for him to breath.. his hind legs started going paralyze.. it was painful seeing him from a very active cat to a helpless weak cat.. 😢 is there any ways that we could do to save him or at least make him comfortable ..
My husband and I adopted the sweetest 8 week old kitten from a local shelter in January and were devastated when he suddenly developed strange neurological symptoms 2 months later. Those symptoms began on a Wednesday and he passed away the following Monday. We vlogged his whole life: his adoption, whenever he tried new foods, when he met new people, etc, all the way until his death. We just buried him. We miss him like crazy. I hope to see this awful illness eradicated in my lifetime.
So sorry to hear that! My Oliver suffered a lot and I did not have a choice but to put him to sleep. Although it's been really hard for us I know he is in a better place. Prayers your way...
thank you for the video and may Miqe always be remembered. oUR 9 month old cat PEpito was diagnosed with FIP two days ago, so far he is eating, but not drinking water, and he pee has lots of protein. He is not passing stool, and worries us so much. We feel hopeless and depressed.
carla agama my thoughts are with you, i hope this vdo helps you in a way. Be there for Pepito, I'm sure the kitty is lucky to have you. I'm so sorry this happens.
I've been crying and praying for my kitten since yesterday, my candy diagnosed positive of fcov and the vet already give up as he give week to months she will last with us .. I hope I can help her survive.
leena A you help her by giving her a place she can calls home. It's a horrible disease and it's out of your control. Time is so precious now, spend time with her and take care of yourself too.
Saw this video while i was looking since i have one cat with wet FIP now. Luckily there now is some hope it just costs a ton (2000 euro i estimate incl bloodwork) but since poor Tiger is only 6 and i lost an older one to cancer less than 3 months ago i try and scrounge up money day by day to get him treated. he is now 2 days in and he is visably improving, started to eat again and seems a bit more active the shots are mean though an acid alcohol based product under the skin :( but he needs 82 more shots. Sad to hear about your loss but you are right celebrate the good memories to keep him alive in memory
I work at an animal rescue and one of our very happy healthy FIV cats got very sick and was diagnosed 99% likely to have the dry form of FIP... today I took her home as a foster to give her the best end of life and I'm just trying to learn how to keep her happy and as healthy as possible for as long as I can
@@bethtagliarino8553 That's amazing! Our Heidi is doing well too, aside from being on medication you'd think she was a normal healthy cat! We were given 2 weeks and its been 11 months. She's a totally different cat, our little miracle 🥰
thank you for this video. sorry for your loss. my Dexter was just diagnosed with FIP today. I am going for second opinion on Sunday. do you think he suffered because I don't want Dexter to suffer?
Thank you. I hope the second opinion turns out to be something curable for your Dexter. FIP is truly a horrible disease. Stay strong for him, he'll need you.
hello, i am sorry for DExter's diagnosis, may i ask what happened to him? our family is going through FIp with our 9 month old cat. We want to find a cure...
Thank you for talking about this issue, it's comforting to know someone else who has taken charge with their situation. I do offer my condolences for Miqe and your family, I'm sure he is resting peacefully. I do have a small question... was there a specific stage of the illness that Miqe started drinking less water? I'm wondering since my cat is at that point right now
+Sara Gonzalez Hi Sara, Thank you so much for your condolences. Miqe did stop drinking water and food altogether. So I put a water in a syringe and slowly fed him. He didn't want any but the vet told me to keep track of his water intake. Because, it's vital to stabilising his condition.
+Yeha Marin You're welcome, he seems to have been very happy and loved during his time with you and I'm always so happy to see happy kitties :). Thank you so much, that option had crossed my mind. I'll definitely do that to monitor his water intake and make sure he drinks. Thank you again
I feel u dear. I m facing the same thing now. Feeling so soo heartbroken. The vet just took out some tummy liquid. Kentoi is my beloved n m feeling helpness now 😔😔😔
Thank you so much for sharing. We just found out ours has FIP. The vet gave him three to six months. My husband and I have been crying all day. He is currently in ICU. We tried to feed him. He looks so helpless. I had no idea this virus existed. We are going to try to make ours as comfortable as possible but he isn't stable yet to take home.
I'm so sorry. It is a horrible disease and it took a toll on his well-being. I hope you get to take him home. Even as little time you and your husband get to spend with your cat, it going to be worth it. My hope and prayer are with you and your family.
Sadly we only had about three days left with him. His body was too weak to fight the infection. He had already had a compromised immune system from an illness when he was a kitten. We gave our last goodbyes yesterday and then we drove to another town and had him cremated. There was lots of crying but the goobye was beautiful.
My 8 month old kitten died from FIP 2 months ago. He got sick very quickly and was going to die within a couple days of having it. He had it for a week. He slept so much and didn’t eat all he wanted to do was cuddle with me and my husband. We put him down and it was the hardest thing we ever had to do. We still have his sister and she is fine. She is getting close to 11 months old. I love her so much.
I'm so sorry for your lost. It's never get easier whenever their time come. You did your best and now you have one more little one to take care of. She's lucky to have you.
@Cajunomicsyou mean gs441 or gc376?The second one will take 1 or 2 years to be approved and commercialized.The first one won't be coming to the veterinary market for a long time
Our cat died on 14/4/2017 at 15:45, it was HORROR! He was vomiting and we couldn't do anything. I am really sad and cried my eyes out! Our little fluffy friend. We wanted to help him, we also bought a lot of herbs to strengthen him, to make him feel better, we went to doctors, oncologist and so one, but the last day was HORRORfying! When I was on the phone with a doctor, he struggled to the bathroom, I went to him and I found him lying in his own vomit, he was in shock, I took him and hugged him and cleaned him, I had to make a decision and I did, I couldn't save him, I wanted with whole my heart, with all the love I had in me, but I couldn't ;-( on Thursday he was normal and this day, Friday it went terrible, in a blink of the eye it went terrible. I called our VET and we went to her. She took his temperature it was only 33 degrees, TO LOW ;-( and he was so skinny, and his belly went all yellow of a sudden, we had to take a difficult decision, to let him go, give him peace. So the Vet gave him something so he could go to sleep a little, but he vomitted twice just like in the film the excorsist, so much brown water was coming out that little skinny body, it was REALLY HORROR! The Vet was in shock of what she just saw, she said, OMG I have seen a lot but that, that was really bad! And we were in panic crying of what just happened, I could feel his pain and wanted it to stop! So the Vet gave him the final shot, and that took longer then normal before he let go. He vomit all over our hands and arm but I don't care, I wanted him to be free, free from the suffering. If your cat has FIP it is a KILLER!
Hi Elena, I'm so sorry for your lost. I remember when it happened to my Miqe too. It was the worst feeling in the world to see them suffer so much to the end. I take comfort in knowing they're not suffer now, and I believe you did your best. They free from suffering now. Many strength to you
omg, your experience broke my heart all over again. My cat is dying at the moment and I am desperately searching for help that seems never come. Thank you for loving him.
Hi! I’m so sorry for your lost 😢 thank you for this video though and giving some insight. I have a 7 month old kitten who I just adopted about a month ago and the vet said he might have FIP...I’m waiting to see if his medication helps before I test him. Did you notice he had a round/hard belly but he was very skinny and had no muscle? That’s how my kitten is right now. What kind of testing did they do on him to find out he had the FIP? Thank you!
Iviana Espada thank you. In my case, Miqe had fluid in his chest and he had very high body temperature. He had to undergone plural aspiration. If it’s a wet form of FIP, it won’t hard to detect.
Yeha Marin Okay...thank you. May I ask how he passed? Was it in his sleep or did he stop breathing, etc? I would hate for my cat to suffer so I want to make sure when the time comes I’m doing the right thing by put him down...it sounds like in your case it was sudden 😞
Iviana Espada I woke up one day and He didn’t. We assume that he passed out when he tried to make his way to his bathrooms. He was still warm when I found him. He was scheduled for another plural aspiration that day. I was too busy thinking ahead when I should have focused on today. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
My cat was recently diagnosed with this, and my heart is heavy. I have other cats around my precious ill baby. And I'm aware you have other cats also, did you separate the cats? Or how did you deal with it? Please and thank you
Hi Alma, when I found out that Miqe had FIP I separated him right away. Cleaning my hands every time before I play with my other cats is important, and I make sure to clean the house with bleach regularly because the vet said it's the only way to kill the virus around the house (The virus could last for years if you don't clean it properly). If you separate your other cats in time they'd be safe. When I care for Miqe I tried not to touch my other cats at all because I spent so much time with him I don't want to risk any chance of being carrier to my other cats. My heart goes out to you and your little precious. It's a horrible disease and I hope you find this helpful. If you need anything, come back to this post and I'll be writing back to you. Stay strong.
Feel sorry for Miqe, Yeha Marin. My cat is also now infected by the same disease. And it is wet-version of FIP. It has been almost 2 months since for the first possitively got infected. His belly (his name is Momo), got bigger since the last month and I plan to bring him to my vet again for the abdominal tap. Yet at the same time I realize it doesn't deal with the virus. What I do is extending the life a little bit while decreasing his torment. I even plan to put him to sleep once, but I realize that I have to give him chance and space to fight. I have no idea how Momo will die one day. But one thing for sure, you did a great job for Miqe for taking care of him, and I will do it for mine. It will be a great lesson for catlovers to take care and pay attention more about them, moreover if they have contacts with unknown wild cats. Cheers!
Hi Fajar, I'm sorry to hear that Momo is also suffer with FIP. When I got the diagnosis about Miqe I thought the same thing about extending his life while decreasing his suffering. I wanted more time with him and also I knew him. He was a fighter even when he was alone on the street before we took him in. I wanted him to have a chance to fight. He did fight though and left peacefully one morning. When I was dealing with this beside him, I always remember that this bond between human and their pet is for life. The hardest part I think is when we have to let them go. I felt cheated of the time I only had with him. But we can make the most of it. Remember though, don't look back. Regret don't do anybody any good. You can make Momo life a little better before he goes. Miqe is for me always here occupies the best space in my heart. Many strength to you, Fajar.
I didn't really pay attention on your video by the way, but how long Miqe had survived before he passed away? Because my vet said that it really depends on how strong the cat can endure. Since, what I heard from other videos, FIP turned the immune system fightback against the cat (if I am not mistaken)
Fajar Ardiansyah It's okay. You're not mistaken. Most medicine or one of the prolonging cure is the one that suppress their immune system. It also come down to whether or not the cat is suffer with other diseases such as kidney problems.
How do you deal with your other cats? Did you give some special treatment after Miqe was possitively infected by FIP? Like... Being segregated, or? Because I also still have one more cat and I am afraid that he is also infected too
Fajar Ardiansyah Miqe had a room that separated him from the other two. Also it's important to clean everything separate the food water and kitty sand (toilet) FIP is a fatal disease for kitty age around 1-4 years old. My other two are quiet senior they're fine but still I take the precautions necessary for the prevention of the infection. My vet recommend the bleach mixed with water and use that to mob the floor. I did that to my entire house. Also i was forced to get rid of Miqe belongings such as toys and his mattress. The vet also recommends to not stress the other kitty, just make them stick to their routine, play with them, watch your hand everytime beforehand.
Hi Dear Yeha, I am very moved by the depth of your feeling and care for Miqe. I noted you said you were buddhist and if you are also vegan, there is no higher honor that you could give Miqe than to also love and respect all species. So feel further comfort in that if you are vegan (as I am.) I am a little puzzled by his being bitten when he got loose as the trigger of the FIP. Perhaps he had benign coronavirus in him already and the trauma of the bite triggered the mutation to FIP? I have not read that a bite from another cat can infect coronavirus. They say it's oral-fecal ... from litter boxes. Also being 4 years old sounds odd too. Correction: I just watched Dr. Becker's youtube and she did say that it can be transmitted by saliva. I too am going through what will be a never-ending pain concerning two 10 week old sibling brothers that I got off the street, and then entrusted to a rescue organization person. While I was busy fostering the other cats, this person kept them in her shed for 4 months and did not solicit for fosterers as she always does for her other cats. When I came to take them to foster, she handed them back to me saying "they are a mess and this one is probably feral". About 2 months in I noticed a hind leg gait problem with the semi-feral one. She emailed me "I feel I failed these kittens. I am sorry". Make a long story short it got worse and I had to take him for euthanasia on May 11. FIP is suspected and there is a necrospy report pending on him which I am anxiously awaiting from the referring vet. The friendly one I got to a different rescue org. and he was adopted within 2 weeks, but now he has the same symptoms. The adopters are angels and taking care of him ... they express his urine for him ... he's getting steroids and there's improvement but no one is saying this cat will be normal again and live very long. I'm told the vets have ruled out FIP for this one. It's all very odd. I can't help but feel that if these brothers were fostered out early enough they would have been healthy and the semi-feral one would have been socialized and it would be a happy outcome. The other 3 siblings were only with her for 12 days and I fostered them and they got adopted and are all fine. Something happened being in that shed for so long and I feel they were cheated. I saved them from the street but they got still got cheated. Very hard to deal with. Thank you for listening. THank you for giving Miqe the gift of knowing what love from a human can be like. xo
Thank you so much for commenting. Your word bring tears to my eyes, this really mean a great deal to me. I later on talked to many vets about FIP and they all give similar opinion that some cats might carry the disease and never show sign of it till their pass on however due to stressed or significant change in their immune system, it could cause the mutating of the virus. I think Miqe had this. I got him of the street and due to that he was expose to pretty much all kind of viruses. He was very strong though. So when I think of him, I think of him when he was strong and remember the love we share. A few month after he passed I kept thinking about what I could have done to prevent this over and over again. I don't think many people in my life understand the lost thought. He was my best friend and without him I see a big void in everything. I was sad. I'm still sad but the sadness is manageable now. He's up there and I'm sure I'll see him again some day. To answer your question I'm a Buddhist and we believe that some animal were taken so quickly because he has to move on to better place. There are more karma related religious explanation to this but I only remember some of it. I'm making a transition back to vegetarianism. I was a vegetarian for 8 years and I'm excited to get back to that life style and ultimately try Vegan. I'm glad that this vdo somehow connects us even in this unfortunate circumstances. From what you've written me, you didn't fail the kitties. There're no way you could have done anything to prevent it. You've done all you can and there's no going back to change it. Don't look back. FIP is a horrible disease. You give them love and care even for a short period of time. They were lucky to have you. I hope you see the positivity in being the brightness in their life. Thank you so much for commenting. I truly appreciate your kind words. -Marin
Yes I appreciated how he head-butted you (a sign of affection) and the delight on your face when he did that. I can see how smitten you were with Miqe and I feel your pain and understand your need to connect with others who might offer some comforting words or insights. I know I need to ventilate so that the sadness and anger doesn't destroy me. In my case there was also betrayal by the other person involved. I feel she senselessly set them up for failure by keeping them in her shed for 4 months. Even if that was not the cause, she put them at risk. In terms of dealing with loss of a loved one (human or animal), I look at it as we all have to go through that door sometime, some of us sooner rather than later. Our bodies can betray us whether we are young or old. It is just a reality we are better off making peace with. I do believe that animals have souls and that it IS a better place on the other side, and if I am wrong, well at least suffering has come to an end. You rescued Miqe from a hard life on the street and you gave him 4 years of love, safety and comfort. That's major. The problem is we get attached to the tactility of a physical being. They say, even in Buddhism I believe, that attachment causes suffering. I know letting go is hard. But time will heal and the sharp pain will dull. And yes by all means please go veg -- vegan. It's still suffering and death for cows and chickens, and the fate of our planet, to only go vegetarian. So many great new vegan foods on the market now. Sending love to you, lovely Marin.
Hi, I am super moved by your debt of thinking and deep analyzation of this situation. I am a vegan and animal rescuer. We have a small cat sanctuary with cats that are not adoptable and unwanted. When I read your words, I feel I can relate to you in every word. I carry a lot of guilt on my part as well that I did not do 100% for all the ones I took from the streets. At the moment one of our boys, 15 months old Bernard is dying, most likely of FIP. I care for him for the past 2 weeks on a daily basis while doing everything else also. I lost 2 other cats in the past 2 weeks (different diseases). It is real mental torture for me and I am completely drained and a bit crazy too. On top of everything, now I am concerned if the coronavirus is not everywhere and more cats will catch it. I would love to connect with you if you will ever read this message. My email is: danielanyvltova@hotmail.com. Thank you for all your help, love and purity of your heart, you are truly rare human. Much love and respect, Ela.
@@lionandlamb3 OMG, you are truly incredible and so remarkable person. First I read your initial comment and just now I read your second comment and I am crying. I never felt so connected with someone just from their comments. I hope you have people around you who can see how precious you are and that you find some kind of peace in life. Please never cease to help animals. They need us.
My cat Cry Baby is dying of FIP currently. I'm having a vet come to my home tomorrow, as he's not eating anymore and is visibly dying. I'm going to miss him immensely. My other kitty (Wednesday) is also infected, but so far only shows eye problems. I'll always look for symptoms with her now that I know what to look for.
Hi. I’m dealing with this disease right now. My Hannibal is growing by the day and my husband and I decided not to put him through treatments on our vet’s recommendations because the treatments cause stress and Hannibal is already a shy cat that doesn’t really want to associate with any other humans other than his family. We are devastated over the inevitable and don’t know when the right time to euthanize him is. He’s still eating and grooming but his mobility has decreased and after walking a few steps, he plops down to rest. We don’t know if he’s in pain and don’t want him to suffer. What a messed up situation this is. If anyone can help us with any tips please do! You can find me on my IG @thecraftybrunette
my kitten well seven months now. and she has fip. and all the vets told me to put her down. but I couldn't because when I look at her I know she wants to fight. I ask her a sign of she wants to fight and she moves her ear. I'm a fighter and if I can help her with this. then I wanna keep fighting for my Chloe boo. I found her as a kitten too. she is definitely one thing in my life that's worth fighting for. if she wants to keep fighting so I'm I. what food did u feed your sweet baby with. when he had it. I understand how u feel it's rough on me every day
Hello Jade. Chloe is lucky to have you. I'm rooting for you guys. Here's the food I used www.viovet.co.uk/Hills_Prescription_Diet_ad_Dog_Cat_Food/c94/ It's high in calories and easy to digest. Sending love from Bangkok
hello there! can you please tell me where to find seamos and burdock, and how did you administered to your cat? hOPING your cat is well. Please let me know! our cat was diagnosed 2 days ago, we feel we can still help him.
HI !! please some help, our 9 month old cat has been diagnosed with FIP. i want to try seamoss and burdock, but can you tell me how to administered? did you see positive results? ALSO, what is NIV products?? PLease help. My name is Carla. blessings
Hi, thanks for uploading this, I also live in BKK. A few days ago my vet told me that my 6 months kitten got FIP. However, we are now still waiting for the lab result of the stomach fluid and blood test, I hopefully think it would be negative. May I ask if you gave Miqe interferon omega after the result came out?
Abrina Nurmayanti I'm not sure of the number but I did go for a second opinions after I got Miqe's lab result. They say Kaset pet hospital have an experimental treatment but my angel passed away before he had his trial. One of the male vet at Chula wasn't hopeful and he was really brutally frank and discouraging, if you could ask for someone who willing to take a chance, I don't remember her name but she's quiet middle age and female, she's the only vet who really up to trying any thing and go the extra mile for consultation. I hope it's not FIP and if it is, do your best to remain hopeful. Many luck to you and your little one . -M
Oh and which type of meds did miqe get? He is such a strong boy. I currently have two cats, Chuchu (the one who is not really well atm) and Bibi. They are so close and it breaks my heart everytime I had to separate them into different rooms bcs they will be keeping on looking for each other.
Abrina Nurmayanti it's better to separate them for now. You'll need bleach to mob out every room your little one has been in contact with, get rid of the toys, It's the only method to kill the virus, recommends by the vet. Since the virus can linger for two or three years. You'll need to separate the food and water too, wash your hand every time before playing with Bibi. I don't have her contact but she's at Chula. I think the experimental trial is an injection. It's really expensive but it worth a shot. My Miqe had some white pill but due to the water in his chest, everything had to in moderation.
Many thanks for your reply. At the moment Chuchu is also under antibiotics, immunosuppressive, and other immuno-something drugs. My current vet (in Pattanakarn area) also recommended the injection it's called Virbagen Omega (Interferon), costs around 4,500 THB/bottle (10ml), and I will need 3 to 4 bottles for intensive injection. I am now still waiting for the result and tomorrow we will have to go to the vet for follow-up and maybe for the fluid suction because it's getting bigger again today :'(
I'm so sorry for your loss. Can't imagine me losing my cat.. Today my mom and I just found out that our cat has this virus...she's just 1 year and 8 months old with 5 kittens.. Is there anything you could advice?
+Ghost79 I'm so sorry to hear that. I would recommend separating the one that get diagnosed with the virus from the rest. I have three at home so when Miqe got diagnose with FIP, I separate him right away to prevent it to transfer it to my other two. Miqe has FIP that showed sign in the accumulation of fluid in his chest. After the pleural aspiration, he lost his appetite. So I asked, the vet about the calorie intake that Miqe's body weight required to at least make him comfortable. I would recommend the Royal Canin's recovery wet food because this formula is very high in calories in take. But, if your cat refuses the food completely mash the cat food and use the teaspoon and feed them from the side of the mouth, try to paste it on the the top of the hard palette, not the tongue, that way they can't spit. I hope this help. All the best of luck to you. Ask me anything again, If wasn't clear before. Good luck.
Hi. My cat was diagnosed with fip today.the vet advised to put her to sleep but i couldnt do so and instead opt to take care of her until her time is up. I just wondering when u took care of mckay,do u have some sort of rules like you need to change your cloth,wash your hand with clorox or antiseptic before touch another cat etc2.
hello there! we are going through the same situation. keep everythign clean specially litter and food bowls etc. we are going to try everything to help our cat get better. good luck to you!
My cat just diagnosed with FIP DRY type.. For now I just be optimistic. Can u advice me... How and with what should I feed him... He start refuse to eat. Even I put food infront of him.... At some point I tot he got blind..
I'm so sorry to hear this Akiem. From experience I use wet food from Royal Canin, Recovery formular. It's very high in calories and it might help him with energy during the day.
ForteX9 Miqe kept avoiding me, he usually always with me like my little shadow. He had high fever and seems to have problem breathing :( I'm so sorry about Jasper
I have two cats and one diagnosed with fip. What should ı do for my other cat? I seperated them but the vet said 'it's too late he probably has it too'. I am so confused and sad. Can you give me any advice please?
Ezgi you're doing the right thing, separating the healthy one. I don't think it's too late sometimes even though the unlucky ones get sicker the healthy one might never show sign throughout their life time. Don't lose hope and don't beat yourself up, you're doing the best you can.
Donya Matin I'm so sorry Donya. It's a really horrible disease. My Miqe really responded well with wet food. I have to feed him small bite by bite. I'm so very sorry.

Hi. My cat has FIP. Is there any chance for me to reach you through e-mail or instagram? I feel like I need to ask you some specific questions. If you reply me I would be really happy. Thank u.
OMg my cat is also 4 years and 2 days ago the oncologist diagnosed him with FIP. His belly is big there is all kind of water in it. I am so sad you know, I want to help him,
I hope this vdo is helpful to you. I'm so sorry. FIP is such a horrible disease, but we can always try to ease their pain and just be there for them as much as we can.
We need to make people aware of this disease. I wish they will have vaccine for Corona virus. I am going through it right now. I just learned on 12/10/17 that he may have FIP because of the symptoms: abdominal fluid and fever. Also labs came back he is losing protein(abnormal albumin). I am very sad and crying everyday when i see him getting weaker day by day. Thank you for sharing this. I think let’s all support this and make people aware of FIP.
I completely agree. Not enough cat lover know about this horrible disease. However, there're a vaccine for it. Most vet don't recommend it because it's not full-proof and if the kitty didn't have the virus from the start the vaccine will just expose them to the virus and make it prone to develop into FIP. I'm sending you lot of love and I hope that in a way this vdo is helpful. It was really hard for me making it because I didn't see it coming. At the time, I see at least ten more years with him. So, the reality was numbing as well as heartbreaking. He was really special, is and will always be really special to me. He was my best friend. I still miss him everyday. Okay, now to the useful stuffs, the food and the nutrition is really important after this. Your kitty will most likely refuse to have any, but try to ease them into it. It'll give hime energy to function. Clean your house with bleach, it's the only thing that kill the virus. Do not pet other cats, because there're a chance that you can pass its along. It's not transmitted to human but we're the carrier. I linked the food in the discription box below the vdo. Praying for the little one- M
what happened to your cat? best wishes.
@@Yehamarin Did not know about the disease existed until my 1 year old kitty got it and recently had to put him down. I watched him go from the most hyper and loud cat to a cat that was struggling to even walk and lift his head. It was so sad to see him deteriorate in front of my eyes and know that nothing was going to help him live so I decided to put him down once the vet said that he was loosing more and more weight (he was 5 lbs, his last year's visit, he was 7 lbs). Hopefully more and more people know about that horrendous disease.
We adopted siblings and Joey (the brother) who was such a nice a loving cat, started getting weak and lethargic. We took him to the vet and we found out he had FIP. He was 10 months old. We were so sad and had to put him to sleep. My pops took it really hard because he got really close to him. It was so sad watching him have trouble breathing and barely eating. Wth is happened a month ago and within a few weeks he got so bad that the only option was to take him in so he didn’t have to be in pain 😿. I’m glad you gave your baby a nice place to live and comfort until he crossed the rainbow bridge. I’m so sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the video. Our kitty is 7 months old and dying from FIP. I really appreciate the honest video and your story. It's been so tough to watch our kitty Bitu get so sick after he eats. He will eat and then he hunches over with his eyes closed and he's in so much pain. It's one of the saddest things I've had to deal with.
oh Dersu, I know exactly how you feel. We are going through the same thing with our boy Bernard.
I wish I had seen this video at the time that my Penny was diagnosed.
It has been two weeks and today I am mourning her again. We picked up her ashes today and plan on spread them in a window flower box where she used to sit.
I only got two more days with her after she was diagnosed. It was hard to feed her and keep her watered, even with steroids. I couldn't let her suffer.
Your time with your fur baby was precious and he had the best family. Thank you for sharing your experience and his memory.
RIP Penny and Miqe
+Ariana Gonzalez Thank you so much for your kind words. Our lovely friends walks among cloud now. Rest in peace sweet Penny and Miqe.
i feel so sad for everyone commenting they lost their cats to FIP:( there’s a cure now guys!😭 i’m treating my 9 month old FIP cat and she’s doing so good! it’s just been a week since treatment and she’s turning right around, so much energy and playful. she was in pretty terrible shape a week ago, showing signs of advanced stages of wet and dry, losing control of her back legs, diarrhea, shaking. tons of other symptoms but those were the worst noticeable ones. i saw a difference in just one day, and now a week later she’s doing awesome. look up Mutian, Shire, or Blossom for FIP. i think there are one or two more. mutian is the most expensive :( maybe this comment can save a few kitties !
Hi. Right now my cat is having dry fip... i dont even know what to do. all the vet said that he wont live long but I dont want to give up on my 🐈... 😭
Shafinaz Bahar join the FIP Warriors facebook group! there are a lot of people who are successfully treating their cats. i’m on there too 😬 so much support and advice. there are some vets in the group too. my cat probably wouldn’t have made it if i never joined that group. you have to act fast before it’s too late
There's a vaccine however it is illegal one I'm afraid if I use on ma cat ma cat will have other sickness as well
natsume hana what i used wasn’t a vaccine. it was hmmm “supplements” lol. the main ingredient is high doses of taurine. yep it’s illegal but i don’t give a damn. it saved my cat’s life. she is 8 months post treatment and doing really well. i haven’t gotten her spayed yet still, i’m afraid to 😭 but we will schedule the surgery again soon
@@ashleyneville I just want the sciencetist to hurry up find the medicine for fip already 😭😭😭😭
Thank you for sharing your story! I lost my kitten today 8/13/2019. My kittens name was Nugget. He had the same disease and I had to make the toughest decision to let him go. Thanks for reminding me that I have to remember his life and that we have good memories to always remember. I know that both our babies are in heaven.
Charmayne Venegas I'm so sorry for your loss
OMG. I am bawling my eyes out. You are such a good, strong, special human. I am going through the same thing with one of our rescues, a 16 months old boy Bernard who I saved from horrible conditions at a brink of his death. We are not 100% sure that it is FIP and if it is it would be the dry form. I must say thank you Yeha Marin for the wonderful person you are, so caring, loving and strong. Thank you for giving him the life you did. Please adopt another unfortunate soul who is waiting for someone to love him/her. There are soooo many animals out there who need a chance. We have a small cat sanctuary, with 70 cats who were living on the streets, dying but now they have food, friends, heated homes and love and care. So, we often deal with their medical health condition declining. But this is the first time we are potentially dealing with FIP. I am completely devastated, exhausted and depressed. I am losing my mind knowing that he will die very soon yet he is still fighting and that makes it so painful. Torture. Anyhow... Thank you for this video. Much love and respect to you Yeha.
earthbalance77 Thank you for your heartfelt message and for saving the stray. I think I will forever adopting. But Miqe will always occupy the most special place in my heart ❤️
@@Yehamarin I understand you totally. Bernard is dead and I am broken. Myself being vegan and animal rescuer, I am affected by pain and suffering of animals all the time. But I must admit that Bernard was very special to me, so smart, intelligent and KIND. At the moment, I see black and just want to die to be with Bernard and the others who departed me already.
earthbalance77 You're so kind and full of love. Please don't let the grief overtaken your light. You're strong and worthy. The world is a much better place with you in it. I'm sure the animals are in better place with you as well. Please don't give up on us and the world. I'm sending you lot of love and support.
You're in my prays
He is an beautiful little boy
Sad this happen
You loved him dearly
Your emotional pain is very deep
I can see it in the video
He loved you with his whole heart
Unconditional love is the purest love that is given without expecting it to be returned
God bless you for saving him and giving him your heart
Thank you
I am so terribly sorry. My Miss Poppy was diagnosed with dry FIB 2 weeks ago. It came on suddenly and we were blown out of the water. I adopted her and she was a rescue kitty out of Spain. She is being treated with meds for fever and antibiotics and also steroids immune depressors. Her appetite is good and she has gotten alot of energy back and has gained weight. She also moves around alot enjoys being spoiled and we spoil her rotten. I am enjoying every second that we have with her and keeping her as comfortable as possible. Her response to the treatment has been a blessing and I pray that she continues to respond.
Thank you, All the best for you and Miss Poppy
How is Miss Poppy doing ? I hope all is well ! Just interested as our little baby is the same situation and really worry about how long he can make it . Was diagnosed just 4 days ago !
May I ask how Miss Poppy is doing? What was the name of the steroids you are/were giving her?
This is very touching n sharing your love for your fur baby is precious. I'm so glad to have seen this. God be with you.
Sally Chamness thank you for your heartfelt comment 🙏🏽
i am so sorry. thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for being so kind and offering the best possible life he could have hoped for, and the love he needed, given his limited time on this earth.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of FIP. This is my first time learning about this today. On Wednesday, June 15, 2016, (she was about 6 months old) in the morning while I was still in bed praying I heard a cat crying. When I went out to get her she was under a car. I let her smell my hand and she came right out. Of course I kept her, she was a beautiful Calico cat. She stayed healthy, and very active until around maybe the end of November 2017. Her health started declining. (Breathing hard, as time went by she had to breath with her mouth open. Also she became weak and could no longer jump up on the counter which was what she had done every morning. Her stomach became big and she lost weight and her appetite. This sound like what she had I am sure it is. She was euthanized on Saturday, December 30, 2017. I send you so much love for what you have done for me and others. Now that t know I feel better. Her name is Lolita, (I also called her Lola most of the time). I kept some of her things in my storage space should they be thrown away? Blessings on you life and I love you for loving your cat so much and other cats such as mine! (I had her cremated also) Love from Marierosa and Lolita😘
Hi Marierosa, thank you so much for taking the time to tell me your story. It broke my heart. Your comment was the first thing I read today. It brought me back to why I made this video in the first place. It was personal in many way and I felt that I could not be the only one going through it. I'm happy it helped you in some way. It certainly help me cope with losing him unexpectedly like this.
If you want to have other cats, it's best to let the toys go. It's hard for me too because I need a reminder of him. But, it needed to be done since I still have two other healthy one at home. The virus is deathly and could be alive for years and we as human, are carrier of it. when I cremated Miqe, I put his toy along with it. So, he won't get bored up there. I hope little Lola rest easy with the angels. She's a star now. You did everything you could and we have to let them go. I think Lola is lucky to have you, it could not have been not easy making a hard decision for them. But, you did your best.
- M
Thank you for being a wonderful human. There are not enough of good people. Please adopt from streets or a shelter another soul who is waiting for someone like you. In Lolita's name. Much love and respect.
Thank you so much for this helpful video. You had a special bond with him and it's so touching to see. You were a caring, loving mom to him❤️💙😿
Linda CatFriend thank you for your kind words, still think of him everyday 😢
@@Yehamarin Every animal we lost stays with us forever. I think of every each of them. Even raccoons and birds. Animals are amazing creatures, innocent and pure. That is what makes our bond so special.
My cat died on monday and the vet thinks it was possibly fip. I had to feed him because he wouldn't eat on his own. I did everything I could to make him get better and save his life but he died. He fought so hard though but his body gave up. It is so hard. Thank you for being such a good cat mummy and for helping him even while it hurt you to see him suffer. He knew you loved him. ❤
I'm very glad for this video. I'm sure your cat had wonderfull life with you :) I'm very moved by your care about Miqe. At the moment me and my cat are fighting this terrible disease :( It's very devastating to see a cat suffer and know that you can't do much to help him :( I wish all the best for CATpeople :)
Thank you Karolina, Much strength
My Lily cat was diagnosed yesterday with FIP, I found this video very helpful, thank you! Right now I'm making her comfortable for her last weeks. She was drained yesterday also, I feel like this was very hard on her, I'm hoping its cause of the drugs they put her under with & she'll bounce back in a couple days.. Your Miqe was gorgeous, thank you for taking such great care of him
Cindy Schulte thank you for taken the time to comment. I hope Lily is comfortable. Miqe was so smart and beautiful. I still think of him always. I love the curly cue. Spooks must be such a cutie.’
I just found your channel. Thank you for sharing. You have no idea how your video helps me to prepare for the worst. My cat is now suffering from FIP. Similar to yours he has liquid in his thoracic space. He has undergone thoracentesis twice. He is now at home after spending a week at the hospital. He still needs fluid injection everyday since he is taking diuretics. I don't know how much time I have with him. He was a stray cat when I took him. We've only been together for roughly 6 months but I love him immensely. He is around 1 year old now.
I hope you found the Facebook group FIP WARRIORS so you could give your cat the cure. Vets can’t prescribe it.
@@juliehomer I definitely will look for it. Thank you so much for the info
thanks for this vid u seem to did great work to help him..bless u ..i have two sphynx cats i got from the shelter and one of their brothers died of FIP so they assume the other four also have the coroner virus. What was the thing u noticed first when u realized he was sick? i'm a bit paranoid..i watch their bellies all the time and when they dont eat i start to panic XD
+MsLipsticklover In my case, it was fever. His body temperature constantly changing every hour or so. If you change the litter every week and keep the sphynxs in door, it shouldn't be a problem. Sometime the virus won't show sign if their immune system is strong. All the best of luck to you and your cat
We just lost our second kitten (six months a part) to FIP. The first kitten died with the dry form within a week of this deadly virus. The next kitten just died on 7/2/18 of the wet form. Once her stopped eating our biggest nightmare came true, that she too has FIP. She was breathing really fast and was hoping it was asthma but the X-ray showed the fluid build up. She died right away with the wet form. Total devastation and loss from this disease. They two kittens came from different shelters 5 months a part. We feel Annie (kitten that died first) brought the disease with her and therefore Zuki got the disease and died 6 months later. One day healthy and happy and then suddenly everything changed so quickly. We have one cat left a Bengal, 6 years old and we pray he won't die next. Most pet owners have never heard of the corona virus and awareness is needed. Thank you for sharing your story. It helps us in our grieving.
Jan B Dear Jan, I’m so sorry for your lost. When Miqe passed, I still have two older ones that make it. I’m hoping for the best to your 6 years old as well.
Thank you for your video. I’m sorry for your loss, he was beautiful.
My baby girl was diagnosed with FIP today. She’s 2 years and 5 months old. We’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old. She has been the most energetic, vocal and happiest cat out of my other 3.
She has the wet form. I’m just so heartbroken, and what hurts the most is knowing that she is so young and didn’t get the chance to live out her years. I beat myself up because I had a baby 7 months ago, and haven’t been able to give her all the attention I used to. And now she’s going to be leaving me.
I’m still caring for her. I will be until she lets me know she’s ready to go. Please pray for her to go in comfort and peace...Her name is Rogue Penelope. My baby girl.
blahness762 I’m so sorry. Please don’t blame yourself. I beat myself up too. But it won’t do anybody any good. She needs you to be positive and strong. Make the best of the bad situation and don’t regret anything. Sending love your way
I'm very sorry,he's in a better place now 🙏❤🐱
I am so sorry for your loss. RIP Miqe.
Thank you, Vance. He's the star now.
Thank you for your sharing. My vet just told me she is 99% sure that my cat got fip today, but I still have the last hope for the lab result... I don't know what I can do for her, but you help me a lot. Thank you.
Hi Leona, I'm glad that in some way this vdo has help you. I'm sorry to hear about your cat. It's a horrible disease but let hope for the best. You can be strong for her and whenever it gets difficult, just remember to make each day count. Don't blame yourself. You're doing the best you can. We're praying for you. -- M
Hope you are ok now!
I have a cat(Petai) with Dry form FIP with neurological symptoms. After 12 weeks of GS441524 treatment, she relapsed, perhaps the virus has developed certain strain of resistance towards the drugs.
And now I am looking into plan B which is to use Electrode Colloidal Water to see if there is any improvement.
Petai is a fighter so she deserves more chances.
Please pray for her thank you.
Hi may I know what's is electrode colloidal water? My 5 months baby boy just got diagnosed with wet fip yesterday.. liquid started to fill his chest thus making it hard for him to breath.. his hind legs started going paralyze.. it was painful seeing him from a very active cat to a helpless weak cat.. 😢 is there any ways that we could do to save him or at least make him comfortable ..
My husband and I adopted the sweetest 8 week old kitten from a local shelter in January and were devastated when he suddenly developed strange neurological symptoms 2 months later. Those symptoms began on a Wednesday and he passed away the following Monday. We vlogged his whole life: his adoption, whenever he tried new foods, when he met new people, etc, all the way until his death. We just buried him. We miss him like crazy. I hope to see this awful illness eradicated in my lifetime.
me too, I'm so sorry for your lost.
I was crying my eyes out when I got the diagnosis. We are now giving the med that can cure. Fingers crossed. He’s a month into treatment.
I'm so sorry! My Oliver was diagnosed with FIP today and I am totally devastated! Thank you for sharing your story....
Hope for the best for your Oliver too. Sending you love, Irmarie.
I think my boy Oliver is suffering from it badly and will have to be put to sleep :'(
So sorry to hear that! My Oliver suffered a lot and I did not have a choice but to put him to sleep. Although it's been really hard for us I know he is in a better place. Prayers your way...
Irmarie Govind how can I comfort him? He doesn't want to be stroked
Did you take him to the vet? Has he been diagnosed with FIP?
I'm so sorry for your loss. ♡♡♡ Thanks for the video.
thank you for the video and may Miqe always be remembered. oUR 9 month old cat PEpito was diagnosed with FIP two days ago, so far he is eating, but not drinking water, and he pee has lots of protein. He is not passing stool, and worries us so much. We feel hopeless and depressed.
carla agama my thoughts are with you, i hope this vdo helps you in a way. Be there for Pepito, I'm sure the kitty is lucky to have you. I'm so sorry this happens.
@@Yehamarin Thank you ! We had no other option and put him to sleep yesterday. We are heart broken. a CURE must be found.
I've been crying and praying for my kitten since yesterday, my candy diagnosed positive of fcov and the vet already give up as he give week to months she will last with us .. I hope I can help her survive.
leena A you help her by giving her a place she can calls home. It's a horrible disease and it's out of your control. Time is so precious now, spend time with her and take care of yourself too.
thanks for sharing.
Saw this video while i was looking since i have one cat with wet FIP now. Luckily there now is some hope it just costs a ton (2000 euro i estimate incl bloodwork) but since poor Tiger is only 6 and i lost an older one to cancer less than 3 months ago i try and scrounge up money day by day to get him treated. he is now 2 days in and he is visably improving, started to eat again and seems a bit more active the shots are mean though an acid alcohol based product under the skin :( but he needs 82 more shots. Sad to hear about your loss but you are right celebrate the good memories to keep him alive in memory
I work at an animal rescue and one of our very happy healthy FIV cats got very sick and was diagnosed 99% likely to have the dry form of FIP... today I took her home as a foster to give her the best end of life and I'm just trying to learn how to keep her happy and as healthy as possible for as long as I can
Alexx Wretched thank you for giving her love , the world is better with you in it.
Bless you, my feral who I just adopted is FIV POS too, we just adore him he’s doing awesome👍👍👍
@@bethtagliarino8553 That's amazing! Our Heidi is doing well too, aside from being on medication you'd think she was a normal healthy cat! We were given 2 weeks and its been 11 months. She's a totally different cat, our little miracle 🥰
thank you for this video. sorry for your loss. my Dexter was just diagnosed with FIP today. I am going for second opinion on Sunday. do you think he suffered because I don't want Dexter to suffer?
Thank you. I hope the second opinion turns out to be something curable for your Dexter. FIP is truly a horrible disease. Stay strong for him, he'll need you.
hello, i am sorry for DExter's diagnosis, may i ask what happened to him? our family is going through FIp with our 9 month old cat. We want to find a cure...
@@teficalledlittlebird I am going through with the same thing with one of our rescues. I am devastated. How is your kitty?
😢 I just lost my New Addition to my home. A handsome Little man.. Now my long standing baby is FIP positive. I am so sorry for your loss💔
I am going thru it too. I believe we are on borrowed time. Poor boy. His name is Buddy Love
Candace Hughes I'm so sorry this happened. Sending you strength and love
Thank you for talking about this issue, it's comforting to know someone else who has taken charge with their situation. I do offer my condolences for Miqe and your family, I'm sure he is resting peacefully. I do have a small question... was there a specific stage of the illness that Miqe started drinking less water? I'm wondering since my cat is at that point right now
+Sara Gonzalez Hi Sara, Thank you so much for your condolences. Miqe did stop drinking water and food altogether. So I put a water in a syringe and slowly fed him. He didn't want any but the vet told me to keep track of his water intake. Because, it's vital to stabilising his condition.
+Yeha Marin You're welcome, he seems to have been very happy and loved during his time with you and I'm always so happy to see happy kitties :).
Thank you so much, that option had crossed my mind. I'll definitely do that to monitor his water intake and make sure he drinks. Thank you again
I feel u dear. I m facing the same thing now. Feeling so soo heartbroken. The vet just took out some tummy liquid. Kentoi is my beloved n m feeling helpness now 😔😔😔
Zuslina Ahmad Kentoi is lucky to have you, I hope this vdo is helping you in some ways. I'm so sorry.
Thank you so much for sharing. We just found out ours has FIP. The vet gave him three to six months. My husband and I have been crying all day. He is currently in ICU. We tried to feed him. He looks so helpless. I had no idea this virus existed. We are going to try to make ours as comfortable as possible but he isn't stable yet to take home.
I'm so sorry. It is a horrible disease and it took a toll on his well-being. I hope you get to take him home. Even as little time you and your husband get to spend with your cat, it going to be worth it. My hope and prayer are with you and your family.
Sadly we only had about three days left with him. His body was too weak to fight the infection. He had already had a compromised immune system from an illness when he was a kitten. We gave our last goodbyes yesterday and then we drove to another town and had him cremated. There was lots of crying but the goobye was beautiful.
+Lee Price I'm so sorry for your lost. He's running in the sky with Miqe now. I like to think that we'll meet again someday.
I like to think the same. We gave our kitties the best life that we could for them. I just wish we had more time together.
My 8 month old kitten died from FIP 2 months ago. He got sick very quickly and was going to die within a couple days of having it. He had it for a week. He slept so much and didn’t eat all he wanted to do was cuddle with me and my husband. We put him down and it was the hardest thing we ever had to do. We still have his sister and she is fine. She is getting close to 11 months old. I love her so much.
I'm so sorry for your lost. It's never get easier whenever their time come. You did your best and now you have one more little one to take care of. She's lucky to have you.
Same. Thank you.
Our cat recently died of wet FIP too. It hurt me so much seeing our cat suffer. I wish they would eventually find cure for this disease.
I'm really sorry 🙏
@Cajunomicsyou mean gs441 or gc376?The second one will take 1 or 2 years to be approved and commercialized.The first one won't be coming to the veterinary market for a long time
Our cat died on 14/4/2017 at 15:45, it was HORROR! He was vomiting and we couldn't do anything. I am really sad and cried my eyes out! Our little fluffy friend. We wanted to help him, we also bought a lot of herbs to strengthen him, to make him feel better, we went to doctors, oncologist and so one, but the last day was HORRORfying! When I was on the phone with a doctor, he struggled to the bathroom, I went to him and I found him lying in his own vomit, he was in shock, I took him and hugged him and cleaned him, I had to make a decision and I did, I couldn't save him, I wanted with whole my heart, with all the love I had in me, but I couldn't ;-( on Thursday he was normal and this day, Friday it went terrible, in a blink of the eye it went terrible. I called our VET and we went to her. She took his temperature it was only 33 degrees, TO LOW ;-( and he was so skinny, and his belly went all yellow of a sudden, we had to take a difficult decision, to let him go, give him peace. So the Vet gave him something so he could go to sleep a little, but he vomitted twice just like in the film the excorsist, so much brown water was coming out that little skinny body, it was REALLY HORROR! The Vet was in shock of what she just saw, she said, OMG I have seen a lot but that, that was really bad! And we were in panic crying of what just happened, I could feel his pain and wanted it to stop! So the Vet gave him the final shot, and that took longer then normal before he let go. He vomit all over our hands and arm but I don't care, I wanted him to be free, free from the suffering. If your cat has FIP it is a KILLER!
Hi Elena, I'm so sorry for your lost. I remember when it happened to my Miqe too. It was the worst feeling in the world to see them suffer so much to the end. I take comfort in knowing they're not suffer now, and I believe you did your best. They free from suffering now. Many strength to you
ANY type of peritonitis is bad and usually fatal. Try not to let them suffer that long.
omg, your experience broke my heart all over again. My cat is dying at the moment and I am desperately searching for help that seems never come. Thank you for loving him.
Hi! I’m so sorry for your lost 😢 thank you for this video though and giving some insight. I have a 7 month old kitten who I just adopted about a month ago and the vet said he might have FIP...I’m waiting to see if his medication helps before I test him. Did you notice he had a round/hard belly but he was very skinny and had no muscle? That’s how my kitten is right now. What kind of testing did they do on him to find out he had the FIP? Thank you!
Iviana Espada thank you. In my case, Miqe had fluid in his chest and he had very high body temperature. He had to undergone plural aspiration. If it’s a wet form of FIP, it won’t hard to detect.
Yeha Marin Okay...thank you. May I ask how he passed? Was it in his sleep or did he stop breathing, etc? I would hate for my cat to suffer so I want to make sure when the time comes I’m doing the right thing by put him down...it sounds like in your case it was sudden 😞
Iviana Espada I woke up one day and He didn’t. We assume that he passed out when he tried to make his way to his bathrooms. He was still warm when I found him. He was scheduled for another plural aspiration that day. I was too busy thinking ahead when I should have focused on today. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
My cat was recently diagnosed with this, and my heart is heavy. I have other cats around my precious ill baby. And I'm aware you have other cats also, did you separate the cats? Or how did you deal with it? Please and thank you
Hi Alma, when I found out that Miqe had FIP I separated him right away. Cleaning my hands every time before I play with my other cats is important, and I make sure to clean the house with bleach regularly because the vet said it's the only way to kill the virus around the house (The virus could last for years if you don't clean it properly). If you separate your other cats in time they'd be safe. When I care for Miqe I tried not to touch my other cats at all because I spent so much time with him I don't want to risk any chance of being carrier to my other cats. My heart goes out to you and your little precious. It's a horrible disease and I hope you find this helpful. If you need anything, come back to this post and I'll be writing back to you. Stay strong.
Feel sorry for Miqe, Yeha Marin. My cat is also now infected by the same disease. And it is wet-version of FIP. It has been almost 2 months since for the first possitively got infected. His belly (his name is Momo), got bigger since the last month and I plan to bring him to my vet again for the abdominal tap. Yet at the same time I realize it doesn't deal with the virus. What I do is extending the life a little bit while decreasing his torment.
I even plan to put him to sleep once, but I realize that I have to give him chance and space to fight. I have no idea how Momo will die one day. But one thing for sure, you did a great job for Miqe for taking care of him, and I will do it for mine. It will be a great lesson for catlovers to take care and pay attention more about them, moreover if they have contacts with unknown wild cats. Cheers!
Hi Fajar, I'm sorry to hear that Momo is also suffer with FIP. When I got the diagnosis about Miqe I thought the same thing about extending his life while decreasing his suffering. I wanted more time with him and also I knew him. He was a fighter even when he was alone on the street before we took him in. I wanted him to have a chance to fight. He did fight though and left peacefully one morning.
When I was dealing with this beside him, I always remember that this bond between human and their pet is for life. The hardest part I think is when we have to let them go. I felt cheated of the time I only had with him. But we can make the most of it. Remember though, don't look back. Regret don't do anybody any good. You can make Momo life a little better before he goes. Miqe is for me always here occupies the best space in my heart. Many strength to you, Fajar.
I didn't really pay attention on your video by the way, but how long Miqe had survived before he passed away? Because my vet said that it really depends on how strong the cat can endure. Since, what I heard from other videos, FIP turned the immune system fightback against the cat (if I am not mistaken)
Fajar Ardiansyah It's okay. You're not mistaken. Most medicine or one of the prolonging cure is the one that suppress their immune system. It also come down to whether or not the cat is suffer with other diseases such as kidney problems.
How do you deal with your other cats? Did you give some special treatment after Miqe was possitively infected by FIP? Like... Being segregated, or? Because I also still have one more cat and I am afraid that he is also infected too
Fajar Ardiansyah Miqe had a room that separated him from the other two. Also it's important to clean everything separate the food water and kitty sand (toilet) FIP is a fatal disease for kitty age around 1-4 years old. My other two are quiet senior they're fine but still I take the precautions necessary for the prevention of the infection. My vet recommend the bleach mixed with water and use that to mob the floor. I did that to my entire house. Also i was forced to get rid of Miqe belongings such as toys and his mattress. The vet also recommends to not stress the other kitty, just make them stick to their routine, play with them, watch your hand everytime beforehand.
Hi Dear Yeha, I am very moved by the depth of your feeling and care for Miqe. I noted you said you were buddhist and if you are also vegan, there is no higher honor that you could give Miqe than to also love and respect all species. So feel further comfort in that if you are vegan (as I am.)
I am a little puzzled by his being bitten when he got loose as the trigger of the FIP. Perhaps he had benign coronavirus in him already and the trauma of the bite triggered the mutation to FIP? I have not read that a bite from another cat can infect coronavirus. They say it's oral-fecal ... from litter boxes. Also being 4 years old sounds odd too. Correction: I just watched Dr. Becker's youtube and she did say that it can be transmitted by saliva.
I too am going through what will be a never-ending pain concerning two 10 week old sibling brothers that I got off the street, and then entrusted to a rescue organization person. While I was busy fostering the other cats, this person kept them in her shed for 4 months and did not solicit for fosterers as she always does for her other cats. When I came to take them to foster, she handed them back to me saying "they are a mess and this one is probably feral". About 2 months in I noticed a hind leg gait problem with the semi-feral one. She emailed me "I feel I failed these kittens. I am sorry". Make a long story short it got worse and I had to take him for euthanasia on May 11. FIP is suspected and there is a necrospy report pending on him which I am anxiously awaiting from the referring vet. The friendly one I got to a different rescue org. and he was adopted within 2 weeks, but now he has the same symptoms. The adopters are angels and taking care of him ... they express his urine for him ... he's getting steroids and there's improvement but no one is saying this cat will be normal again and live very long. I'm told the vets have ruled out FIP for this one. It's all very odd.
I can't help but feel that if these brothers were fostered out early enough they would have been healthy and the semi-feral one would have been socialized and it would be a happy outcome. The other 3 siblings were only with her for 12 days and I fostered them and they got adopted and are all fine. Something happened being in that shed for so long and I feel they were cheated. I saved them from the street but they got still got cheated. Very hard to deal with.
Thank you for listening. THank you for giving Miqe the gift of knowing what love from a human can be like. xo
Thank you so much for commenting. Your word bring tears to my eyes, this really mean a great deal to me. I later on talked to many vets about FIP and they all give similar opinion that some cats might carry the disease and never show sign of it till their pass on however due to stressed or significant change in their immune system, it could cause the mutating of the virus. I think Miqe had this. I got him of the street and due to that he was expose to pretty much all kind of viruses. He was very strong though. So when I think of him, I think of him when he was strong and remember the love we share. A few month after he passed I kept thinking about what I could have done to prevent this over and over again. I don't think many people in my life understand the lost thought. He was my best friend and without him I see a big void in everything. I was sad. I'm still sad but the sadness is manageable now. He's up there and I'm sure I'll see him again some day.
To answer your question I'm a Buddhist and we believe that some animal were taken so quickly because he has to move on to better place. There are more karma related religious explanation to this but I only remember some of it. I'm making a transition back to vegetarianism. I was a vegetarian for 8 years and I'm excited to get back to that life style and ultimately try Vegan. I'm glad that this vdo somehow connects us even in this unfortunate circumstances. From what you've written me, you didn't fail the kitties. There're no way you could have done anything to prevent it. You've done all you can and there's no going back to change it. Don't look back. FIP is a horrible disease. You give them love and care even for a short period of time. They were lucky to have you. I hope you see the positivity in being the brightness in their life.
Thank you so much for commenting. I truly appreciate your kind words.
-Marin
Yes I appreciated how he head-butted you (a sign of affection) and the delight on your face when he did that. I can see how smitten you were with Miqe and I feel your pain and understand your need to connect with others who might offer some comforting words or insights. I know I need to ventilate so that the sadness and anger doesn't destroy me. In my case there was also betrayal by the other person involved. I feel she senselessly set them up for failure by keeping them in her shed for 4 months. Even if that was not the cause, she put them at risk.
In terms of dealing with loss of a loved one (human or animal), I look at it as we all have to go through that door sometime, some of us sooner rather than later. Our bodies can betray us whether we are young or old. It is just a reality we are better off making peace with. I do believe that animals have souls and that it IS a better place on the other side, and if I am wrong, well at least suffering has come to an end. You rescued Miqe from a hard life on the street and you gave him 4 years of love, safety and comfort. That's major.
The problem is we get attached to the tactility of a physical being. They say, even in Buddhism I believe, that attachment causes suffering. I know letting go is hard. But time will heal and the sharp pain will dull.
And yes by all means please go veg -- vegan. It's still suffering and death for cows and chickens, and the fate of our planet, to only go vegetarian. So many great new vegan foods on the market now.
Sending love to you, lovely Marin.
Hi, I am super moved by your debt of thinking and deep analyzation of this situation. I am a vegan and animal rescuer. We have a small cat sanctuary with cats that are not adoptable and unwanted. When I read your words, I feel I can relate to you in every word. I carry a lot of guilt on my part as well that I did not do 100% for all the ones I took from the streets. At the moment one of our boys, 15 months old Bernard is dying, most likely of FIP. I care for him for the past 2 weeks on a daily basis while doing everything else also. I lost 2 other cats in the past 2 weeks (different diseases). It is real mental torture for me and I am completely drained and a bit crazy too. On top of everything, now I am concerned if the coronavirus is not everywhere and more cats will catch it. I would love to connect with you if you will ever read this message. My email is: danielanyvltova@hotmail.com. Thank you for all your help, love and purity of your heart, you are truly rare human. Much love and respect, Ela.
@@lionandlamb3 OMG, you are truly incredible and so remarkable person. First I read your initial comment and just now I read your second comment and I am crying. I never felt so connected with someone just from their comments. I hope you have people around you who can see how precious you are and that you find some kind of peace in life. Please never cease to help animals. They need us.
My cat Cry Baby is dying of FIP currently. I'm having a vet come to my home tomorrow, as he's not eating anymore and is visibly dying. I'm going to miss him immensely. My other kitty (Wednesday) is also infected, but so far only shows eye problems. I'll always look for symptoms with her now that I know what to look for.
Mickey Rorschach I'm so sorry. I hope this video helps you in some way.
sorry for your loss :(
Hi. I’m dealing with this disease right now. My Hannibal is growing by the day and my husband and I decided not to put him through treatments on our vet’s recommendations because the treatments cause stress and Hannibal is already a shy cat that doesn’t really want to associate with any other humans other than his family. We are devastated over the inevitable and don’t know when the right time to euthanize him is. He’s still eating and grooming but his mobility has decreased and after walking a few steps, he plops down to rest. We don’t know if he’s in pain and don’t want him to suffer. What a messed up situation this is. If anyone can help us with any tips please do! You can find me on my IG @thecraftybrunette
This seems to be happing to our cat at the moment. I also noticed that this is not topic that gets much attention
my kitten well seven months now. and she has fip. and all the vets told me to put her down. but I couldn't because when I look at her I know she wants to fight. I ask her a sign of she wants to fight and she moves her ear. I'm a fighter and if I can help her with this. then I wanna keep fighting for my Chloe boo. I found her as a kitten too. she is definitely one thing in my life that's worth fighting for. if she wants to keep fighting so I'm I. what food did u feed your sweet baby with. when he had it. I understand how u feel it's rough on me every day
Hello Jade. Chloe is lucky to have you. I'm rooting for you guys. Here's the food I used www.viovet.co.uk/Hills_Prescription_Diet_ad_Dog_Cat_Food/c94/
It's high in calories and easy to digest. Sending love from Bangkok
i lost my gorges cat recently just that 3 days before she passed away she got sick i cannot accept that she is gone its so hard
giving seamoss mixed with burdock drops help..or get NIV products..hopes this helps vets don't help😕
hello there! can you please tell me where to find seamos and burdock, and how did you administered to your cat? hOPING your cat is well. Please let me know! our cat was diagnosed 2 days ago, we feel we can still help him.
HI !! please some help, our 9 month old cat has been diagnosed with FIP. i want to try seamoss and burdock, but can you tell me how to administered? did you see positive results? ALSO, what is NIV products?? PLease help. My name is Carla. blessings
Hi, thanks for uploading this, I also live in BKK. A few days ago my vet told me that my 6 months kitten got FIP. However, we are now still waiting for the lab result of the stomach fluid and blood test, I hopefully think it would be negative.
May I ask if you gave Miqe interferon omega after the result came out?
Abrina Nurmayanti I'm not sure of the number but I did go for a second opinions after I got Miqe's lab result. They say Kaset pet hospital have an experimental treatment but my angel passed away before he had his trial. One of the male vet at Chula wasn't hopeful and he was really brutally frank and discouraging, if you could ask for someone who willing to take a chance, I don't remember her name but she's quiet middle age and female, she's the only vet who really up to trying any thing and go the extra mile for consultation. I hope it's not FIP and if it is, do your best to remain hopeful. Many luck to you and your little one . -M
Thanks a lot for your reply. Do you still have the contact of that lady vet? And about the trial from Kaset hospital, I will check that out.
Oh and which type of meds did miqe get? He is such a strong boy. I currently have two cats, Chuchu (the one who is not really well atm) and Bibi. They are so close and it breaks my heart everytime I had to separate them into different rooms bcs they will be keeping on looking for each other.
Abrina Nurmayanti it's better to separate them for now. You'll need bleach to mob out every room your little one has been in contact with, get rid of the toys, It's the only method to kill the virus, recommends by the vet. Since the virus can linger for two or three years. You'll need to separate the food and water too, wash your hand every time before playing with Bibi. I don't have her contact but she's at Chula. I think the experimental trial is an injection. It's really expensive but it worth a shot. My Miqe had some white pill but due to the water in his chest, everything had to in moderation.
Many thanks for your reply. At the moment Chuchu is also under antibiotics, immunosuppressive, and other immuno-something drugs. My current vet (in Pattanakarn area) also recommended the injection it's called Virbagen Omega (Interferon), costs around 4,500 THB/bottle (10ml), and I will need 3 to 4 bottles for intensive injection. I am now still waiting for the result and tomorrow we will have to go to the vet for follow-up and maybe for the fluid suction because it's getting bigger again today :'(
I'm so sorry for your loss. Can't imagine me losing my cat.. Today my mom and I just found out that our cat has this virus...she's just 1 year and 8 months old with 5 kittens.. Is there anything you could advice?
+Ghost79 I'm so sorry to hear that. I would recommend separating the one that get diagnosed with the virus from the rest. I have three at home so when Miqe got diagnose with FIP, I separate him right away to prevent it to transfer it to my other two. Miqe has FIP that showed sign in the accumulation of fluid in his chest. After the pleural aspiration, he lost his appetite. So I asked, the vet about the calorie intake that Miqe's body weight required to at least make him comfortable. I would recommend the Royal Canin's recovery wet food because this formula is very high in calories in take. But, if your cat refuses the food completely mash the cat food and use the teaspoon and feed them from the side of the mouth, try to paste it on the the top of the hard palette, not the tongue, that way they can't spit. I hope this help. All the best of luck to you. Ask me anything again, If wasn't clear before. Good luck.
Did he infect your other cats or did you have to get the other cats tested?
Hi. My cat was diagnosed with fip today.the vet advised to put her to sleep but i couldnt do so and instead opt to take care of her until her time is up. I just wondering when u took care of mckay,do u have some sort of rules like you need to change your cloth,wash your hand with clorox or antiseptic before touch another cat etc2.
hello there! we are going through the same situation. keep everythign clean specially litter and food bowls etc. we are going to try everything to help our cat get better. good luck to you!
My cat just diagnosed with FIP DRY type.. For now I just be optimistic. Can u advice me... How and with what should I feed him... He start refuse to eat. Even I put food infront of him.... At some point I tot he got blind..
I'm so sorry to hear this Akiem. From experience I use wet food from Royal Canin, Recovery formular. It's very high in calories and it might help him with energy during the day.
My cat Jasper (3 years old) was diagnosed yesterday with FIP the wet kind. How did you all find out your cat had FIP?
ForteX9 Miqe kept avoiding me, he usually always with me like my little shadow. He had high fever and seems to have problem breathing :( I'm so sorry about Jasper
My cat had fip but thank god now he is cured♡
How he got cured? Any remedies? Help me...
Please how did you cured your cat
Can humans get FIP from cats
Miqe ♥
I have two cats and one diagnosed with fip. What should ı do for my other cat? I seperated them but the vet said 'it's too late he probably has it too'. I am so confused and sad. Can you give me any advice please?
Ezgi you're doing the right thing, separating the healthy one. I don't think it's too late sometimes even though the unlucky ones get sicker the healthy one might never show sign throughout their life time. Don't lose hope and don't beat yourself up, you're doing the best you can.
@@Yehamarin Thank you so much, I lost my cat a week ago he couldn't make it, but I'm trying keep healthy one alive. Thank you again.

OMg my cat is also 4 years and 2 days ago the oncologist diagnosed him with FIP. His belly is big there is all kind of water in it. I am so sad you know, I want to help him,
I hope this vdo is helpful to you. I'm so sorry. FIP is such a horrible disease, but we can always try to ease their pain and just be there for them as much as we can.
