I don't know where to start. My beautiful Norwegian Forest Kitten is very ill. The vet thinks it's FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis) which is fatal. He also think her sister is infected (although she is currently fairly symptom free).
DK1 has had a high temp for 3 weeks now and we haven't been able to find out why. The vet has been giving her meds to reduce the temp and she is fine for a while after each jab, then the temperature just comes back. There is no test for FIP, you just have to exclude other diseases. There is a biopsy but the vet thinks that this is very invasive and expensive. The bottom line is that she is dying . She is only 4.5 months old FFS!
I can't face the prospect of having her put to sleep, I love her. What's almost worse is living on the the timebomb of DK2 - we know she will probably get sick, we just don't know when.
Not a good day
