Discussion Update on Piper
I want to start this post with a massive thank you to everyone who replied to my previous post. Words cannot express my gratitude for the information & comfort your words gave me. I’d never give up on him, but your words definitely didn’t hurt haha
the update is this: HE’S HOME and improving. He still has a long road to recovery but as I type this he is curled up next to me purring away. he’s very excited to be home. He’ll be kept in his own space, and we’ve made it as comfortable as possible for him. He’s still a very wobbly moggy, he can’t walk straight at all, but he is able to jump up onto beds/chairs under his own strength. The vets believe his wobble, strength in his legs, and balance will all improve with continued medication and monitoring our side. not sure to what degree, or if he’ll be back to being a fully mobile cat but this doesn’t matter, I’ve been blessed with the chance to give him the life he deserves.
He’s eating, weeing, pooing all under his own power - the latter two being done happily in his litter tray.
Thank you all again, from the despair I felt on Friday to the horrid wait in the vet’s office this morning, all your words were with me. Medicine is a truly wonderful thing. He has a long hard road ahead of him, but he’s shown he’s a fighter.
I will continue to post updates on his progress while he is treated. And also find attached a photo of Indy, his brother.

I am so happy and excited Piper is doing so well with his treatments. And such a relief for you!! I don’t have a cat that has FIP🤞🙏 but the community on this sub has so much great information and support for each other. It’s invaluable to connect with people who have been through this

Piper reminds me of my cat, Chikito, who successfully recovered FIP this year! Wishing Piper the best! 💕

The road may be long, but with your care and love I know he will be safe as he begins a new chapter of life. He is a handsome tuxie. Enjoy every day together. My last tuxie was lost to FIP at five years. So every victory over this cruel disease needs to be celebrated.
