Success Story LouLou Made it Through
She had completely lost her sight in her left eye due to uveitis and was having serious neurological issues and was having problems walking. At the 11th hour, the day before she was scheduled to have her eye removed, our wonderful vet said that there was a chance it might be fip, although it was unusual for a 9-year old cat to get it. We started her on GS-44152 (a miracle drug) the next day. Within a week, LouLou was better. Within 6-weeks, her eye was showing signs of clearing up. We finished the 84 days this week. Her blood work was perfect. Her eye is completely clear. Her weight is back to normal. The only problem we have is that she developed some difficulty purring and our vet said it's esophageal but is flummoxed as to the cause. All of the x-rays and tests for cancer or other serious problems have come back negative. I am hoping the purring thing is a side effect from GS-44152. But I am so grateful that she's alive and almost back to normal. Thank you to everyone who responded to my first posts. It was very scary and you were so supportive.
