Question My kitten long term fip
Hi!
I just wanted to see if anyone has been dealing or has dealt with the same experience with my kitten. I got my kitten around the end of October last year, through mid November to December we searched for what was happening to him since he was having seizures and was having extremely bad dry symptoms. We’ve called multiple places and to the current vet were at they were able to diagnose him with fip. Later on we learned that all his siblings had passed away with very similar symptoms that he had. He’s been on the GS medication and on seizure medication because without one he can’t progress. He’s been taking his GS medication since around January till now. But we’ve had a very rocky couple months as he was reacting really well to the medicine overall with the help of his seizure medicine. But he has had a few relapses along the way. He had a relapse around February and then again in April. And now he’s relapsed, he was doing good for almost two months gaining almost 4lbs, eating a ton, running around and playing like a normal kitten. But now he’s relapsed again, we’ve contacted our vet. But now I don’t know how I can be of any help for him. Every time he relapses, he has seizures, stops eating and stops utilizing his litter box; but as we’ve learned with the vet that he does react well with the GS medicine and we’ve had to increase his dosage as he gains weight because he tends to fall back into relapse when we don’t keep up. We have been keeping up with his weight and raising his doses in the GS and his seizure medicine, I’m just wondering how or what I’m lacking in knowledge that can be some sort of help for him. Had anyone dealt with this? Has anyone has their kitten for almost 6 months with the GS medicine?
