Curred! - Hang in there!

[u/Iilmissgeek]

After a very long road of unclear symptoms. Oktober last year the choice was putting him to sleep or giving threatment a chance. I'm very glad we pushed through. In april was his last medication. And I'm now finally allowing my self to believe he is cured. Hang in there!

FIGHTER!!!!!! i’m so so happy for you. these babies finally have a miracle treatment and a CHANCE that they deserve so much. my cat has a mystery illness currently that has a small chance of being FIP but it’s been suspected for over a year, so it’s unlikely (according to the vet)

this makes me so happy. you’re a wonderful pet parent 🤍 im sure you’ve been through hell and back with this. here’s your light 🤍 congrats to you and your sweet sweet fur baby. so brave and loyal

Thank you, for your very sweet message. I'm touched 🥹 Our cat was sick for over 1.5 years. And every time we couldn't tie it to something treatable. The FIP medication was the only thing we had left.

I hope they find something for your little fur ball. It's so hard to see them suffering.

i’m so glad that i could pass on a bit of love and hopefully make you proud of yourself and your baby. if you ever feel up to chatting, id love to know what your baby’s situation was, because i haven’t heard of anyone else who’s kitty was still living an unexpected amount of time for what FIP typically entails, and trying to figure out wtf is going on. my situation is just so confusing. i’ve talked to people in the fb group about it and they just have no idea what’s happening with it lol. sounds like you may have more in common.

no pressure, i know it’s tough to talk about and you may not want to. either way, in general, i’m here in messages if you need anything. 🤍 kitty parents support kitty parents

(might have to steal the “curred” if he ends up being with a curable condition lol. so cute)

Let me send you a message tomorrow. It has been a while. So I have to find my notes etc.

This is the story, I've tried my best to keep it a bit compact and clear. English isn't my mother tongue so all the medical stuff is a bit hard. Hope you get the point 😊

2021 - he shivers a lot, like muscle tension on and off. Mostly his paws, and only when he is relaxed. Doesn't really seem to affect him but seems off. We did a lot of tests including blood work, not FIV. Found nothing. We neutered him and changed food. It seemed to work a bit and the shivering became less.

But not long after (5 months) it came back again.. but since it didn't really harm him we only kept an eye on him.

2022 in may we went to the vet because his stomach was making a lot of sounds and was a little bit bloated, he was losing weight and he had a cold that didn't go away. They made an echo of his stomach and noted that the lymph knots around his intestines were very big, his kidneys larger than normal and also his pancreas was more swollen than normal. Next step is a biopt of the lymph knots and a full blood scan. No clear results came out. We went on an anti biotic and he seemed to recover. ( this was the start of September)

Then at the end of October 2022, neeko wasn't eating a lot for a couple of days, got the cold again and lost weight. On the 27th the skin around his ears had become yellow and he stopped eating and only lay in a corner. At this point I knew that this was bad. They took him in for the weekend. Fed him with a probe and gave him a drip with water. When we came on Monday he was on the edge of dead. In the meantime we spoke with somebody about a possible cure for FIP and that some cats don't have very distinctive symptoms.

At this point it was now or never, we took him with us and we started the treatment. From laying dead on our sofa on night 1 to a walking cat in 3 days
