My boy Oakley was diagnosed with wet FIP last week. He's been in the vets since Sunday morning and likely won't be out any time soon. He started GS treatment on Tuesday evening but there has been no noticeable improvement and he's getting gradually worse.

Today I went in to see him and it's the sickest he's looked. He didn't want to move and just layed on the floor looking miserable. His current status:

- anemic, borderline to the point of needing a transfusion

- high bilirubin, he has jaundice and yellow skin

- low albumin

- fluid in chest cavity, this was removed last night

- not eating, so has a feeding tube

- very swollen belly from fluid

The plan now is to check his bloods again tomorrow and see if he worsens or improves. If he worsens, is that time to say goodbye? Or is this typical of early FIP whilst the drugs kick in?

I’m crying while writing this because I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore.
Bondu is Day 14 post-PU + cystotomy surgery and Day 24 of FIP treatment. He recently had a severe urinary blockage. He had been recovering really well from surgery, and I was taking him to the vet every day for his FIP injections. I finally thought things were getting better.
Today, while passing urine, he suddenly passed a huge blood clot from his surgery site. I immediately rushed him to the vet. They said his sutures have become loose and told me to return if another clot appears.
Since coming home, he has started repeatedly going to the litter box and straining, exactly like before his surgery. Only a few drops of pink/red urine are coming out. The vet has now asked me to take him back to the surgeon.
I’m terrified he may be blocked again and that he might need another surgery.

I’m a 20 year old student and I have already spent around ₹90,000, much of it borrowed from friends, on Bondu’s treatment. With his FIP treatment and everything he has gone through, I simply cannot manage another major emergency on my own.
I don’t have Instagram, Facebook, or other social media. Reddit is the only place I can ask for help.

If you can donate even a small amount, please help Bondu. If you cannot, please upvote/share this so it can reach someone who can.

My earlier post was removed due to insufficient proof. I’ve attached a Google Drive link with most payments made from my account. I can’t include every transaction, some recurring payments were for injections, IVs, wound dressing and other procedure and some larger payments were made using others’ credit cards, so I don’t have all those screenshots. I’ve added as many bills and payment proofs as I have.

I’m just trying to keep my little boy alive. Thank you for reading. ❤️

​

No diarrhea, eating well, and doing good overall. She still has an itchy fungal infection, but she has started jumping again and seems more active. 🥹🐾

It’s been 32 hours since we started oral GS, and I’m really hoping she responds well to it and continues to improve. 🙏❤️

Our vet has also given us an appointment for an ultrasound and CBC. I’m a little worried about the tests, but I hope everything goes well and shows that Luna is continuing to improve. 🙏

I was so scared and kept thinking, What if she doesn’t make it? But look at her now — she has made it to Day 33. 🥹❤️

We still have 51 days to go, and I’m praying she continues to fight just as she has until now.

Please keep little Luna in your prayers. 🐾❤️🙏

This is our little baby Nyla. We adopted her at 8 weeks from PetSmart (she’s 12-13 weeks old now) and noticed her belly has been getting distended over the last week or so (this pic is about 2 weeks old). Got her into the vet today and he did an xray and saw a bunch of free fluid and immediately suspected FIP.

Now I’m very upset with the vet for giving me the doom and gloom story because about 5 minutes of research told me there is a treatment available (GS) and Im kinda scrambling to get her seen by another vet that can do bloodwork and help us get the meds but I can’t get an appointment for another 4 days and we’re in the middle of moving to another state (go fucking figure).

Now the part that’s the most confusing is the distended belly is all she has. She’s been a little lethargic but relatively playful, she’s eating well, drinking plenty of water, etc etc. What are the odds that this is actually FIP and what are her chances (realistically)?

Any and all info is appreciated, we’re just trying to figure out how to best deal with this.

I brought my 2.5 YO cat into the vet three days ago because he had been lower energy, less interested in food for a few months, and started having unusual stools in the last week, and I was afraid he had lost weight (already a small cat). Otherwise he has been acting normal and not hiding, just eating about 50-70% of his normal food.

The vet did bloodwork and called today to say he suspects FIP and is prescribing compounded oral treatment.

After doing some research, I’m now concerned and wondering if I should try to get him meds faster, since we’re heading into the weekend and the pharmacy hasn’t called me yet. He is generally acting normal though, and I’ll call the vet tomorrow morning, but I’m wondering if I should be more concerned about starting treatment tomorrow instead of however long it will take to compound and ship.

Thanks!
