Maikki FIP reared its ugly head today with one of Shar's beautiful cats. He hadn't been eating because of a bad tooth which was going to be extracted today. I got a call from Shar this morning and the vet couldn't pull the tooth as Shar's furbaby was diagnosed with FIP because they found a "massy fluid" around his lungs and it was hard for him to breathe. He was diagnosed with FIP. He also was an indoor feline so once again this came as a shock to us. Now they have a vaccination for FIP. Why now I am asking with bitterness. Shar and I will have to keep a good eye on all of our cats because of this as her 6 cats and my 6 cats were altogether in our house last summer until Shar and her hubby could find an apartment and of course they all came in contact with one another. I have no regrets about that as her cats are loved by Irv and I also. Her animals are our family and vice versa.
Maikki I did ask the vet today about the rest of the cats getting this and there is such a slim chance they will develop this horrible disease even if they are carriers.
The vet did say to take precautions when we come into the house from being anywhere and wash our hands as soon as we get in the house.
I just have to shut my eyes and all I can see is Shar's beautiful Niko's face.
A sad Maggie
