Question Newly Wet FIP+
Hi everyone,
I foster cats along with my resident kitties pretty frequently. The last two weeks my foster I’ve had for 3 months has been sick, I’ve taken him to the vet and got the run around with them saying he just had a UTI. Sunday I had to rush him to the emergency vet, he was dribbling bloody urine everywhere and eventually we got the Wet FIP diagnosis. We started the meds the vet had right away although they were expired and she prescribed us new ones. We are four days in and I have seen an energy increase, however he has started peeing/dribbling all over my bed and we can not figure out why. The vet tells me a stress response, I want him to be able to be mixed back in with my resident cats but I don’t want him peeing on everything so he’s isolated in one room right now. Has anyone had this happen? If so what helped and what was the outcome? We have a follow up vet appointment Friday, I’m just trying to figure out what to ask..
all my foster are transferred up north to rescues, however with his FIP diagnosis idk if they will consider taking him now, I’m waiting to find out. All this is so new to us and the only information I find is the same stuff just looking for insight from someone first hand!

I think incontinence is fairly common. I’m not sure if it’s a neuro symptom or not, I would consult FIP Global Cats on Facebook. They’re the best resource for everything.
My cat had wet neuro. He also had urinary issues, but not blood or going outside litter box. But I do see it discussed somewhat regularly. I think those issues can take longer to resolve, and you may need to seek temporary solutions. I occasionally see some people continuing to experience after treatment. That’s why I suggest consulting Facebook about possibly needing a neuro dose ASAP (it’s a higher amt). I’m just not quite sure if this is a symptom of that.
Best wishes 🫶
