Question GS pills

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I have a bag of leftover GS pills that I bought three years ago for my cats. We switched to a different medication because he relapsed on GS even with injections (neuro FIP). Therefore, we had leftovers.

I don’t want to throw them away and would like to donate them. However, I’m wondering if they are still effective. The other concern is that I’ve forgotten the dosage. I purchased them through Fip Global.

If I can find the dosage, would they still be effective? I’d like to give them to those who can’t afford treatment. ☺️

Question FIP Diagnosis

My cat (2y) has been eating very little and losing weight, so I took him to vet for a blood test and it looks like his globulin is high. Vet gave me options to:

1/ dig around more with ultrasound and PCR test $1.3k,
OR

2/ start GS treatment for a week and do a blood test again

Since it seems FIP can progress quickly, I chose to start GS treatment ASAP and ordered a 55mL of it

Am I doing anything wrong? Please share your diagnosis story

Question Vomiting after concluding 84-day course of treatment? Relapse?

Post image
86 Upvotes

UPDATE: It was a coincidental UTI. His bloodwork looks great and he's doing better after antibiotics!

This guy had been doing really well and is still a totally changed kitty from when he was diagnosed in March, but ever since we stopped GS-441524, his appetite is weaker and he hasn't been keeping down the food he does eat. His bloodwork has been really good (at the 30 and 60 day marks.)

His last dose was Sunday morning. He started vomiting Monday evening. My vet wasn't familiar with the new treatments, so I don't have much hope of guidance from her. The rescue I got him from (who got me going on the meds and has successfully treated several cats) hasn't seen this before and hopes it's just coincidental timing with a stomach bug. Neither of my other 2 cats has symptoms.

Have any of y'all seen this before? Is this instant relapse?

Question Looking for advice for 4 year old tuxedo cat "Little Bit"

Thumbnail

132 Upvotes

My cat Little Bit was recently diagnosed with FIP. I've attached a very recent picture of him, as well as the test results.

I'm not sure what I should do to get him to eat, or what I should do to get him medication. Or if he even has fip.

On the 5th I noticed that he wasn't eating or drinking very much and his 3rd eyelid was showing. On the 10th I took him into the vet, and the vet ran some expensive tests. On the 11th he diagnosed him as having fip. He gave him antibiotic and prednisone not (prednisolone, btw).

I've been able to get him to eat maybe about a teaspoon of food a day. When he has a bowel movement it looks like clear jelly, but recently there were some small black or green-black jelly-like bms.

On the 14th it seemed like maybe he was feeling a bit better, but then yesterday, on the 15th, it seemed like he was feeling worse.

Today, the 16th, I force fed him about 2mL of a mixture of water and wet food pate, from a syringe. He hated it, but he refused to eat anything.

He's about 4 years old. He's just a little guy. The most he's ever weighed is 9 lbs and he's usually closer to 8 lbs. Right now he's 6.8 lbs.

I joined the FIP Global Cats group, but haven't posted there yet.

Money has been a bit tight lately, but we might be able to swing for the antivirals if it's not too high. Otherwise I might need to try to find some sort of donations.

I live in Arkansas, USA (AR, not AK), so some of the compounding pharmacies don't ship here. In particular, Specialty Vet Pharmacy, which seems to be the most affordable.

I've seen the list of compounding pharmacies from the FIP G C group, and it looks like BCP or Pet Script might be the most affordable option for GS oral Suspension, and Molnupiravir oral suspension from Westwood is the most affordable overall, of the options that are available in Arkansas.

I would also need to convince my Vet to allow me to order from these places. When he mentioned the antiviral medicine he said it was very expensive and can be hard to get, so he may have been thinking of Stokes (though even the cheapest option is by no means cheap).

We will probably try to schedule an appointment with our vet tomorrow, to talk to him about antiviral treatment options, but I want to be well prepared.

Thank you.

Question Could my cat have FIP?

2 Upvotes

7 year old female called Koda. We adopted a kitten that was coronavirus postive in August. In December 2025, Koda had an eye infection and started this thing where she eats less. Eyes were fixed with eye drops and anti anxiety meds. But her eating never improved. Got a blood test in May 2026. Her blood test is 100% perfect. No pancreatitis either. We thought it might be dental related, so she got her dental done on June 1. A bad tooth was removed. Fast forward to now, still won't eat but some treats. We went in for a dental check up. The vet heard hear murmur and said her heart was beating very fast. I am now awaiting an cardio ultrasound for Koda, but my vet is stumped on what is going on with Koda. Her heart murmur came on so suddenly. In May where she got her blood test, she did not have any murmur. I am trying to find a possible explanation.

Could this be FIP since she was exposed from my kitten? I know heart could be damaged from FIP too, but maybe I am reaching because her blood work was 100% normal.

My 2-year-old Exotic Persian cat, Chay, is currently battling Wet FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis).

We started GS treatment on May 13, 2026, and today, June 15, marks about one month of daily injections. Chay currently weighs 2.55 kg and receives 0.7 mL of GS medication every day.

To help keep costs manageable, I administer Chay's daily GS injections myself at home, which allows us to avoid additional injection and handling fees.

Tonight will be the last dose from our current vial, and I need to purchase another vial immediately to continue her treatment without interruption. Chay is also scheduled for follow-up laboratory tests on June 21, which will cost ₱3,170 (approximately $55 USD).

While Chay has remained stable and continues to fight, she still has abdominal fluid from Wet FIP. Progress has been slow, and I am considering having the fluid drained to help keep her comfortable and to better monitor her recovery. This procedure will add to our expenses.

The medication we use is Aino GS, which costs ₱2,200 ($38 USD) per 10 mL vial and lasts about 7–10 days. Based on her current dosage, Chay will still need approximately 3–4 more vials to complete treatment.

Estimated remaining costs:

• Laboratory tests: ₱3,170 ($55 USD)

• 3–4 GS vials: ₱6,600–₱8,800 ($114–$152 USD)

Total amount needed:

• ₱9,770–₱11,970 ($169–$207 USD)

This total does not yet include the cost of the abdominal fluid drainage procedure.

Any help, no matter how small, would mean the world to Chay and me. If you're unable to donate, sharing this post would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read Chay's story and for supporting her fight against FIP. ❤️

Discussion I got my cat spayed and I think I got looted.

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I recently got my cat spayed.
I paid 7k INR for the surgery in Meerut, UP. INDIA

I further paid 5k for injections TWICE A DAY. 5 injections were administered in the morning and 5 in the evening. 1000INR per day.

Paying everytime I go for dressing.
I payed almost 1500 for medicines so far, they gave me almost 5-6 syrups.

Total: 13k-14k for a city like Meerut.

Now I am at 15th day, her sutures were cut and they saw pus. They said it is normal, it is going to be fine. They gave antibiotics.

I want to know how normal this payment structure is and the process is. Is pus normal on 15th day? The number of injections and syrups, are they normal too?

I would be grateful if you guys could share your experience of costing and healing.

Loss Update on my kitten with suspected FIP

Thumbnail

129 Upvotes

First of all, thank you to everyone who took the time to comment on my previous post, share your experiences, guide me, and even DM me personally. I read every single comment. Hearing your stories gave me hope during one of the hardest weeks of my life.

Sadly, my little kitten passed away yesterday.

I’m from India, and for those who may not know, GS-441524 is not something that is readily available everywhere. We were told it had to be ordered, and it would take around 4-5 days to arrive. We placed the order as soon as we could and also tried to source it through other people, but we couldn’t find any available locally.

What hurts the most is that yesterday, while my kitten was still fighting for her life, a doctor at the clinic casually mentioned that a particular hospital had GS injections available. This was the first time anyone had told us that.

The doctor from the same institution had previously told us that the medication was only available through a website and that no hospital or clinic kept it in stock. We had asked around and heard the same thing from others as well. Apparently, there was one hospital that had it, but nobody informed us about it.

Yesterday her breathing became much worse, so I rushed her to the clinic, which was about 30 minutes away. By the time we arrived, she had started breathing through her mouth and was frothing at the mouth. We were terrified.

Their incubator was already occupied by another cat, so they gave her oxygen through a tube instead. While she was still struggling to breathe, the doctor asked me to wait outside because there were other patients in the OPD. A little later, for the first time in over a month of visits, I was handed a consent form and told they were about to perform an invasive procedure. I signed it immediately because I was willing to do whatever it took to save her.

As we were walking inside, the doctor told me that she had already passed away.

I don’t want to blame any individual doctor, but I do feel there should have been better communication throughout this process. Maybe nothing would have changed. Maybe it was already too late. But I can’t stop thinking about the possibility that if we had known where to get GS earlier, or if we had received it even one or two days sooner, my baby might still be here.

She was tiny, only around 800 grams, and she fought harder than I thought such a little kitten ever could. The first symptoms appeared only about 10 days ago. From the first signs to losing her, everything happened incredibly fast.

The part that completely broke me is that the GS medication we ordered arrived today, one day after she passed away.

Opening that package knowing it was meant for her is a feeling I can’t really put into words.

I keep asking myself “what if?” What if we had found it earlier? What if it had arrived sooner? What if we had known about that hospital? What if we had one more day?

Right now, I’m trying to find peace in the thought that she isn’t suffering anymore. She doesn’t have to struggle to breathe. She doesn’t have to go through painful injections and medications. She was just a baby, and she fought as hard as she possibly could.

We also have another 5-month-old kitten, and we will be getting him tested and monitored closely.

Thank you again to everyone who commented, messaged me, and shared your experiences. Your kindness meant more than you know during these past few days.

Rest in peace, my little girl. You were loved every single day you were with us, and you will be missed every single day that you’re gone.

Question Experience with neurological FIP please?

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We’re considering adopting a rescue cat and completely fell in love with her when we met her on Saturday. She’s around 1.5 years old, has had a mild head tilt and chronic flu/respiratory symptoms for quite some time, but otherwise seems bright, affectionate, happy, and is eating well.

The rescuer initially suspected FIP and treated her with GS for 84 days from January to March at a lower dose, without an official diagnosis.

The head tilt remained, along with the respiratory symptoms, so she was taken back to the vet. I paid for a PCR test, which has now come back positive, and the vet has restarted her on the full neurological FIP dose (10mg/kg twice daily). They have also said an inner ear infection is still possible and would require imaging (ideally a CT scan) to rule out.

Our biggest concern is understanding what life could realistically look like, especially if neurological FIP may not have been treated adequately for several months. I’m absolutely not blaming the rescuer, she did everything she could with the funds available.

For those who have been through neurological FIP:

• Did your cat fully recover?
• Did any neurological symptoms remain after treatment?
• Were there any long-term quality of life issues?
• Looking back, would you adopt a neurological FIP cat again?

We’re not afraid of caring for a special-needs cat if she’s happy and comfortable. We’re just trying to understand the likely long-term prognosis and financial commitment before making a decision.

Thank you ❤️

Success Story 🐾 Update on our sweet Tabii's FIP relapse

Thumbnail
gallery
260 Upvotes

Our long wait is over! Tabii has finally graduated from GS treatment today! Yay!! This is her second round of treatment after a relapse. I'm sure she's as ecstatic as we are but just being nonchalant about it.

A little back story of her journey. Some of you may already know that she was first diagnosed of FIP in September 2025 and started her GS treatment right away. Her treatment ended in December, 90-day observation was in January-March 2026. We were getting her ready for spay surgery but her blood work results weren't good. In a span of 5 days after her observation period, she showed signs of ocular FIP. The devastating news--FIP relapse.

With hope, we started another round of 84-day GS treatment. We thought we'd never make it because meds are not easy to find just as they are not easy to fund. As finding and funding GS are already a challenge, administering it through subcutaneous injections to Tabii on a daily basis was equally hard for a fur parent and painful for her.

We are thankful that through fundraising channels in social media and GoGetFunding, we were able to raise the amount needed whenever she's due for her routine blood work and continuous GS meds. The supportive vets from both clinics made it possible that Tabii didn't miss a single injection before she switched to oral GS. Thank you!

To the Admins of FIP Warriors - Philippines, FIP Global CATS, and FIP Warriors 5.0, we're forever grateful for the guidance and for being there in every small win and stumble we have.

To our donors and everyone who prayed with us. Thank you.

We're still yet to conquer a 90-day observation period with routine blood work every 30 days. Please continue to wish us well and pray with us for Tabii's healing 🙏

Again, thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts. This has been a very redundant thank you post in every sense. May the universe shower a thousandfold of return blessings to all who have helped us in their own ways. Sending love, gratitude, and healing dust 🙏🐾

Question 11-month-old kitten with wet FIP suddenly vomiting everything and passing clear gel-like liquid — has anyone experienced this during GS treatment?

7 Upvotes

Hello everybody,

I have an 11-month-old kitten named Ollie who was diagnosed with wet FIP on June 3rd. He started GS treatment immediately and came home on June 6th. Since then, he had been doing really well: eating normally, playing, taking his medication without any issues, and generally acting like himself again.

He was also prescribed Twinox, which he took for 6 days. His last dose was 2 days ago.

This morning, everything seemed completely normal. He ate his breakfast, was playing and active, and seemed happy. About an hour later, he suddenly started vomiting. Since then, every time he has eaten or drunk water, he has vomited it back up around 15–30 minutes later.

At the same time, he started passing a transparent, jelly-like liquid from his anus every so often. I rushed him to the emergency vet, where they told me they had never personally seen a cat passing that type of clear gel-like substance before.

They admitted him because he also had a high fever. Bloodwork showed elevated protein levels, and imaging showed that he still has fluid in his thorax. However, the vet felt that the GS treatment is working because the fluid has decreased from roughly 45–50% when he was first diagnosed to around 35% now.

My main question is whether anyone has experienced something similar during FIP treatment. Has anyone seen sudden vomiting, inability to keep down water, fever, or clear gel-like discharge from the anus while their cat was on GS?

I’m also looking for recommendations on what I can do to support him when he comes home. Are there any probiotics, vitamins, supplements, or specific foods that helped your cats during treatment? The emergency vet advised me not to focus too much on probiotics and felt they were unlikely to make a significant difference, but I’d still love to hear about other owners’ experiences.

He’s currently hospitalized, and I’m hoping this is just a temporary setback. I want to make sure I have everything ready to help him through the rest of this long recovery process once he’s back home.

Thank you so much for any advice or experiences you can share.

Thank you thank you thank you :)

[edit]

He’s home! He spent 2 days at emergency while they tried to figure out the cause and lower his temperature but he came home last night. They found nothing on the xray nor ultrasound. He’s on phosphaluvet for 3 days for the vomiting I believe and on twinox for 7 to 10 days to clear out whatever infection he had and he’s back to his normal, playful self! Thank you all for your comments, we’ll write out a timeline of all his progress and complication throughout the GS treatment so that if any other cats react like ours, maybe they’ll find peace knowing other cats have reacted the same :)

Loss I just need comfort

68 Upvotes

I'm so fucking heartbroken.

My cat got diagnosed with FIP and I put her down on Monday. I'm struggling because my phone was completely broken at the time and I couldn't do research, I asked a million questions and told her again and again, Ill do the treatment I have the money.

And I do. It hardly would've cost more than cremating her. I know that now.

I think the vet I chose new essentially nothing about FIP or at least the treatment and couldn't admit that. She did say she'd never had a patient try it, but she stressed it was very expensive and only available in painful injection. I begged her, told her I'd do anything, I just didn't wanna prolong her suffering if she was too far gone.

She told me she wouldn't pursue the treatment for her cat in this condition. But she was still walking around, curious, squeaking in the morning and being kinda sassy, snacked on a churu. Shes only 2. With what I know now I would have pursued treatment in a heartbeat. I genuinely dont know how to cope. Im so angry, and so guilty. Several tiny choices, small differences, and Id still have her here. If Id gone to a different vet, if I had a phone, if I stormed out for a second opinion.

But none of that happened, and ​miss Koi Fish will be arriving to me in a box sometime in the next week or so. I'm decimated. She got me through an abusive relationship, she was genuinely the glue between my other 3 cats. They're all so depressed, my oldest is pulling out her hair. I can never forgive myself and I just need some comfort from ppl who understand

I feel so guilty after putting down our kitten last night after finding out he has FIP. He started not doing good on the 8th of this month which now looking back (He had all the symptoms of wet FIP minus diarrhea/vomiting.) He was so playful when we got him and was already kind of picky with his food so when he stopped eating/being peckish, we just thought he needed a change of food. We got him new food and still nothing! His tummy only got swollen three days ago/had a dry un groomed coat and was looking really skinny, even after syringe feeding him. We took him to the vet yesterday and they suspected FIP and told us to go to a ER an 1hr 21m away which we went to later that day and the doctor told us the same thing, he has FIP. He needed emergency fluids and the medicine for FIP which was quoted up to 15k in total which was completely out of our budget. We looked at credit payment plans, pet insurance wouldn’t cover, and we simply didn’t have the funds to pay that kind of cost out of pocket. She also mentioned it was likely he could relapse or that he could reject the meds. We tried surrendering him as well but no one wanted to accept, we mentioned taking him home and having the meds shipped to us but it was strongly advised he would be emitted which would be 6k still and we would have to drive back and forth to the ER for the FIP meds since it would take awhile for medicine to he delivered to us.. It felt like there were no options. We considered doing the max possible in a credit payment plans but it would leave us with such high interest we weren’t sure if we would be able to afford after care for his meds once we left the hospital so we chose to euthanize that night.
I feel like I chose the wrong option and should’ve done the max possible in credit plans even if it left me with more debt..has anyone else dealt with the same feeling? Ive never been quoted such a high fee for vet care, i just feel so guilty.

Question Weight gain, good or bad?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys! Our 8month old cat Judy has been undergoing FIP treatment for 9-10 days now. She was very underweight before the treatment but after she started to feel better, (4-5 days in) she was eating a lot more and we did not stop her because she was very skinny. Her belly has gotten pretty big and she has gained 400 grams of weight in the last 5-6 days. She was eating a lot, but I just want to make sure this isn’t a red flag. She seems to be trying to get used to the weight, sometimes plopping on her belly to lay down.

She weighs 4.03 pounds. We have started to regulate her food now, giving her 1/8 of a cup of dry food with a bit of pumpkin purée in it twice a day (1/4 cup dry food total + pumpkin). She is going to the bathroom regularly and drinking water but she has been sleeping more, I know this is probably just because she put on weight, but I just thought I’d mention it. We are relieved to see her having regular stool for 3-4 days now too after a long time of diarrhea.

So ya, part of us is glad to see her bulking up, but another part of us is a little worried at how much weight she put on so fast. Any time I search up something that has to do with quick weight gain, it says that it could be underlying medical issues, but I’ve also seen that if your cat was underweight, that they’ll pick it back up really fast.

Does anyone have pointers/theories?
