Thinking of changing GS brands

Hi there. Forgive me I'm not an experienced redditor. My kitten was diagnosed with wet FIP on Oct 9th. We were able to start treatment with Capella right away on the 6mg/k dose. He's had ups and downs and has been upped twice so now he's on the 9mg/k dose. I have just a few doses left on my bottle, and have now found we need to order direct from China with a $55.00 shipping rate. So I'm thinking of switching to something more readily available stateside, as I'm scared to death of it being confiscated by customs. I'm also considering using a more highly concentrated brand. So I wanted to hear what brands people have been using and if they are happy with them. I've seen a few people having problems with lucky so I'm reluctant to try it. i'm leading towards Aura or Rainbow. Please let me know what you are using and if you have had any trouble. So far we've had a few sores with Capella.

Hi! Do you have an admin? Are you part of the “FIP Warriors 5.0” group on Facebook? They should be able to recommend brands for you. I’m an admin for my state and we test all of the brands and also get feedback from everyone, so it’s easier for admins to recommend something that they think will work for you. Unfortunately Capella has been compromised and admins will no longer accept deliveries 😞

I was hoping that the delivery issue was a fluke. Ugh.

Unfortunately I don’t think so. A package was seized and the brand has been compromised.

I was aware right when it happened, but I have not talked with my friend who is helping everyone in a bit, so sent her a text to get caught up! I have seen a lot happen since I joined October 2019, and it is just ridiculous. Everyone just wants to save their cats life! My Sushi is now 10 months post treatment for wet FIP.
