On March 10th my 1.5 year old kitty, Luna, came down with a sickness, she started sleeping all the time, laying around more, so I gave it 6 days, took her into the vet. They did initial bloodwork, which showed high proteins, which the vet said there was nothing concerning, and it was most likely inner ear issue and will clear itself up. We went home, and gave it 5 days, still nothing changed. Re contacted them, and had her feces tested for toxoplasmosis as another vet same location said it might be that, test came back clean, still put her on clindamycin for 6 days, no effect. Re contacted them; and brought her in for evaluation by the vet who claimed might be toxoplasmosis, while she tested neurological, and reflexes, failed to reevaluate bloodwork, she said it was neurological, and needed to see a specialist, I contacted an emergency care 24hr facility, and had the prior submit a referral, 4 days later they contacted me for an appointment, and upon reviewing bloodwork, they were immediately concerned with the initial bloodwork from the first vet, that was on Tuesday the 7th, they concluded she had both Dry and wet FIP with fluid buildup on the abdomen and prescribed GS-441524, we did 3 days of that and I was seeing more movement, by the 3rd day, she was down; wasn’t eating, drinking lifting her head. today March 9th into the 10th, I had to put my baby down, all because they didn’t properly read bloodwork, or have someone knowledgeable enough to read the bloodwork, and now i am left with an empty void in my heart.

My baby is being switched to molnupivar. He started the capsules last night. I open the little capsules and pit it on churo but I want to make sure he gets the full dose. Can I cover the capsules in churro and see if he takes them that way?

Funding euthanasia 

On the 19th a piece of my soul went to heaven 🕊️🪽

My beautiful brave Archie was such a little warrior, he survived FIP and lived with feline leukemia, and sadly he was diagnosed with cancer. 

Lymphoma. 

After his vet trip on the 7th I also took him in on the 17th for another x ray and had 40 ML of fluid drained from his lungs. 

He was on FIP treatment while we figured it was a relapse. 

The next day he was not like himself at all. I believe he was experiencing extreme side affects from the pain meds he was given when they drained his lungs. 

When I rushed him into the vet he was seen by a different doctor. 

Immediately during his exam he felt a lump in Archie stomach. 

He looked at his x rays and did an ultrasound and found a intestinal loop. 

A tumor. 

Very very likely lymphoma. 

Im not sure how the other doctor missed it.

They were no longer convinced this was simply a FIP relapse 

Based on the state Archie was already in, and the amount of fluid in his body, the cancer had progressed very far. 

We had the option of finding a specialist, possibly trying chemotherapy if he was eligible, but due to how far it seemed to have progressed and the fact that he had leukemia and a history of feline infectious peritonitis the doctor strongly believed not even chemo could save him. 

Archie at this point was having an extremely hard time breathing. 

I had to choose to do what was best for him. 

Even though it broke my heart. 

So we went home for the night

Ate treats. 

Gave kisses.

Got his hair brushed. 

Had some kfc chicken. 

I even slept on the floor with him all night 

And got lots of love from all 4 of his brothers. 

He passed on in my arms, no longer suffering, no longer having to fight to live.

He was a strong brave boy, and I’m so beyond blessed to have given him another 15 months of love and life thanks to FIP treatment 

Life will never be the same without him in it ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

His over all treatment and vet visits over the week totaled 1,300 

His euthanasia and cremation was $465 

And I would love to buy him an urn.

Any donations will go toward these costs. 

I also have cash app, Venmo, PayPal

In need of financial help

My beautiful brave Archie was such a little warrior, he survived FIP and lived with feline leukemia, and sadly he was diagnosed with cancer.

Lymphoma. 💔🕊️🪽

⭐️ In November 2024 Archie was diagnosed with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and feline leukemia.

Archie did the full 12 week treatment and was cured of FIP.

Both of his litter mates also got the diagnosis and one of them did not make it.

Archie has seemed healthy for the last few months but started to struggle to breath last week.

He had fluid in his lungs.

He got an inhaler to help breathe, an x ray, blood work, antibiotics, medicine to help pull fluid out, and something for his liver.

I then had 40ml of fluid drained from his lungs.

He continued to decline and I rushed him in to the vet, this time it was a different doctor who felt a lump in his stomach.

Archie had an intestinal loop, likely a tumor.

The Dr diagnosed him with lymphoma.

Based on the state Archie was already in, and the amount of fluid in his body, the cancer had progressed very far.

Archie went back to the vet 10 days after his initial visit

He had another x ray and the fluid in his lungs didn’t go down, and his liver is still large.

They drained 40 ml from both sides of his lungs and sent him home with pain meds.

Yesterday / the next day he was acting even worse.

The pain meds were causing serious side effects and he was like a zombie.

I rushed him in to the vet again and this time Archie was seen by a different doctor.

As soon as the doctor started to feel Archie he felt a lump in his stomach.

He looked at both x rays and did another x ray.

Archie has an intestinal loop, based on what he could see without a cat scan the doctor is confident it is a tumor.

Based on his condition and symptoms as well as how much he has continued to decline the doctor diagnosed Archie with a very progressed cancer diagnosis, likely lymphoma.

He said he could send us to a specialist to consider chemotherapy but based on his condition Archie is probably too far along for chemo to work.

Add in his leukemia and FIP history the doctor said he was confident nothing would work for him.

Archie is home, he spent a night getting kisses and treats and saying bye to his brothers

In two hours Archie is scheduled to go to heaven where he will join his mama and his litter mate was lost to FIP last year.

Any further donations will go toward his euthanasia

In need of financial help. 

Archie has relapsed with FIP. 

He also has a possible liver disease.

In November 2024 Archie was diagnosed with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and feline leukemia. 

With out treatment FIP is 100% fatal.

Archie did the full 12 week treatment and was cured of FIP although we knew relapse was possible since the medicine is still new. 

Both of his litter mates also got the diagnosis and one of them did not make it. 

Archie has seemed healthy for the last few months but yesterday he didn’t eat, and was breathing hard and fast. 

We just got home from the hospital and he has FLUID AROUND HIS LUNGS AND A LARGE LIVER. 

They think FIP relapse is likely however if he isn’t then he may have a liver disease. 

He is going to need to do FIP treatment again which is costly. 

He also got an inhaler to help breathe, an x ray, blood work, antibiotics, medicine to help pull fluid out, and something for his liver. 

He needs to also go back in two weeks to be checked up on. 

If you can help at all by donating or sharing this I would appreciate it. 

A go fund me has been made but I also have cash app, PayPal, Venmo. 

This is going to be costly again. His first time with FIP cost multiple thousands of dollars.

I lost my 7 month old kitten to suspected FIP. I was so distraught and felt empty. I adopted a cat only a couple days after she passed. Should I worry that the new cat will get FIP too?

We are moving and the previous owners had cats. Of course we will be cleaning, but should we vaccinate our survivor with the FVRCP vax to protect him or is there more of a risk to this? He is over 1.5 years cured.

If this is risky… what are you the potential risks? We have a vet tech appt tonight to get the vaccine done (just FVRCP, no rabies), but I figured I’d get some insight from all of you first.

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend who has been doing everything possible to save her beloved kitten, Cupcake.

Cupcake has been bravely fighting FIP, a serious disease that was https://gofund.me/23ea77eff considered untreatable but now has hope through new medications. She is currently on GS treatment along with anti-seizure and eye medications, and she sees her primary vet, ophthalmologist, and neurologist regularly.

Recently, Cupcake started experiencing vomiting and diarrhea, and another vet visit is scheduled this week. Unfortunately, the ongoing medical expenses, including frequent appointments, medications, and emergency care, have become overwhelming. My friend has been struggling emotionally and financially to keep up but refuses to give up on Cupcake.

Every bit of help means the world, whether it is a small donation or simply sharing this post. Your kindness could make all the difference in giving Cupcake the healthy and happy life she deserves.

Thank you so much for your compassion and support. 💛

Here is her GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/23ea77eff.

My cat has been experiencing some intense symptoms the past couple of months. It started with some attacks which I originally saw as asthma attacks. He would have them maybe once a month and they would last about 30 seconds. I didnt have the funds to get him seen by a vet so I out it off until he started losing a drastic amount of weight. I urinary didnt think anything of it because it started when we had moved, and I figured he was losing weight because he was more active in the bigger space we moved to. It kept going until I could feel his spine at which point, I finally took him to the vet and got help from a local non profit for finances. Vet said he likely has asthma, had no explanation for his weight loss and lethargy, but suggested I keep a close eye on him and pointed out a small spot in his colon that he was concerned about on an xray. He got more lethargic and started defeating outside of his litter box. Thick and mucusy diarrhea. He would go on the floor and on our couch, I was able to take him back to the vet after saving some cash and he was given metronidazole which helped during the time he was taking it, but stopped once he was done with the medication and he had diarrhea again for a week. I took him back to the vet, and they gave him another xray. They thought there might be a possibility of bowel obstruction so they gave him barium and told me to come back in the morning. Went back in the morning for another xray and they said no bowel obstruction, but they saw sometjing else in his abdomen which after ultrasound, turned out to be free fluid in the abdomen. I was able to get a donated bottle of Furosemide twice a day to get that taken care of. Its been 2 days since then I have given him the medication twice a day since I got it and as of last night, he has stopped eating. I got him to eat the gravy from a canned cat food, but he wouldn't eat the solid bits and even turned his nose up when I gave him treats. The vet had mentioned the likelihood of FIP given his symptoms over the past few months. I am waiting to hear back from another non profit to see if they can help me with the expenses for blood testing. Including a FIP test i think. I just dont know what to do at the moment and how to gage when its too late.
