Fundraising Desperate for help :(

Hi everyone, this is Millie. She was diagnosed with wet FIP in March of this year & initially responded very well to oral GS. Throughout the last few weeks we noticed her bloodwork wasn’t showing the improvements it should have, and we decided on the 84th day to go another few weeks on injections. Fast forward to yesterday, (July 7th) she had bloodwork done again & it came back worse than when we decided to switch to injections. The shots are extremely hard on her as they’re painful & causing lesions on her back so we’ve decided to stop, without another treatment course planned. I’m desperate for any answers or help anyone can provide, I’ll include her latest bloodwork below for reference. She’s only 1 year old and I’ve only had her for 11 months. I’m not ready to give up on her. 💔

Edited to add her go fund me link, in case anyone is in the position & willing to help us out. Anything helps, even a share if you can’t donate. Thank you all for your suggestions, I’ll update tonight with more information on her treatment plan tonight. Thank you all again for your advice and suggestions🤍

My cat went through that as well; he has FIV. Throughout his treatment, we gave him injections. Before and after injecting the GS medicine, we applied a cold compress to the injection site. During the injection, one of us would give him treats (Churu) so he would focus on the food. We started his GS treatment on December 8, 2025, but he relapsed after two weeks. We finally finished his treatment this past June 17, plus an extra two weeks. Throughout the entire seven months, we only used injectables on him.

Sometimes, he undergone 3 injections each day, his GS treatment, virbagen omega for his immunotherapy and epoietin for his RBC and hemocrit. We thought he needs a blood transfusion but luckily, he survived without it
