And so it begins. Again.

Rajah, you'll be in my thoughts.. I remember laying awake bawling when you lost Sage, I don't know why it hit me so hard but I just felt so sad for your loss. I'm hoping that everything with Blaze turns out okay.

((((HUGS)))) Rajah

No, this cannot happen to you again.

Prayers, deep prayers coming to both of you. Blaze, stay with your Mommy, she NEEDS YOU!

Let us know,

Robinrs....

I'm hoping for positive news Rajah. I know waiting must be very hard.

 

[Liz]

I'm so sorry. Your pain just comes through so much on your post. (((((((HUGS))))))))

 

[Denine]

I am sorry. We lost our beloved Ty from the dry FIP 2 years ago. I hope it comes back as something treatable.
Our other cat was tested twice and came back fine.

 

[Keli]

I'm sorry that Blaze isn't doing well Tammie. I hope everything turns out ok for the little guy.

 

[Mish19]

I'm so sorry to hear about Blaze. I lost a 7 month old kitten to FIP, if you ever need to talk my PM box is open.
I'm also hoping tests come back for something treatable!!

I feel your pain. I'm still suffering from the loss of Prince, even though we have our new cat, Shiloh. What is FIB?

 

[Rajah]

I've posted an update thread for anyone interested. Good news on it. We're not out of the woods, but it's not hopeless either.

Carl -- FIP is a fatal kitten disease (usually hits cats less than 1.5 years old or cats over 10) that is not well understood. Basically, it seems to turn the body's immune system against itself, and there is *no* cure. There are 2 forms: wet or dry. Wet causes the animal to have fluid build up in the stomach and lungs and the fluid leeches all the nutrients out of the body. That's what got Sage. Dry form I don't fully understand, I just know it's another form of the same thing and kills just as effectively but with fewer symptoms.
