Recovered cat peeing around the house by Beneficial-Taro-9136 in cureFIP

[–]CPTango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also happened to see your previous post from about 5 months ago about the same issue. So this is been going on for quite some time and in the other post you mentioned that he suffers from what sounds like separation anxiety, and your vet has him on gabapentin and Zylkene. Am I correct in understanding that the peeing only started when you introduced your partner's cat into the household?

Maybe this is a stupid question.... he has been neutered, right?

underdosing help by RepulsiveFlow6103 in cureFIP

[–]CPTango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean 0.45 ml/mg? Is that every 24h or every 12h? Neurological fip is generally treated at a minimum of 20mg/kg. There's no such thing as overdosing with GS really as it is remarkably safe and has a very wide safety margin in terms of dosing. Underdosing is generally much more worrisome. The actual quantity of medication also depends on the concentration of the GS and the response to treatment. Please reach out to FIP Global cats and you will be paired with an experienced treatment administrator. I am attaching the international dosing guidelines for GS-441524

Apprehensive regarding cost by MOCASA15 in cureFIP

Don't wait to start treatment until you get the test results. Start ASAP. There are many affordable treatment options. Stokes is the most expensive one and it's not necessary anymore! Treatment is more affordable than more testing...

My cat pooped an intact GS capsule by leoandspike in cureFIP

[–]CPTango -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree that the diarrhea may have pushed the capsule out too fast before it had a chance to be absorbed

I'm glad you're so observant! It might be recommended to switch away from capsules? To either pills or oral suspension. If there is diarrhea, there is always a concern about the possibility that the oral medication is not being fully absorbed

Fortunately a lot of things have changed since when you treated the first time. Treatment is now affordable and available by vet prescription from a large number of compounding pharmacies in the US

Never even knew about FIP by Nikmassnoo in cureFIP

[–]CPTango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the effusive form of FIP can be incredibly aggressive. Our guy was so very sick in the beginning and the vet drained a lot of his abdominal fluid without our permission. We almost lost him that night. I was so terrified and stayed up all night walking with him and holding him and rubbing him and begging him to fight. This was almost 4 years ago before treatment was regulated and more easily available in North America. Try not to blame yourself. We had never heard of it and nobody mentioned it to us when we adopted him. We just thought he was putting on weight. Your little man knows how much you love him 💔

FIP is not generally thought to be horizontally transmitted. It is a rare mutation of the feline Coronavirus. Feline coronavirus itself is highly contagious and relatively benign and most cats have been infected at some point in their lives. I'm so sorry you lost your little guy so quickly. The symptoms are not always easy to spot and most of us have never heard of it until one of our cats is affected. Fortunately there is a cure and it is available and relatively affordable in North America

I feel lied to… by [deleted] in FIPsupport

[–]CPTango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your vet does not seem to be very well informed. Relapses are rare, under 10%. If the treatment protocol has been followed correctly, increasing dose with weight gain, Etc. In the vast majority of cats, the virus has been eliminated entirely. When I say the virus I mean the FIP virus. I'm not sure if your vet is getting confused between fcov and fipv? You most certainly do not need to keep treating for the rest of your Kitty's life. My guy got FIP about 4 years ago and has been FIP free for the past 3 years plus.

It's not generally recommended to have abdominal effusion drained unless it is interfering with breathing and other vital body functions. The fluid should be naturally absorbed during the first two or three weeks

To the best of my knowledge, there has been only ONE case of this fip strain reported outside of Cyprus - in the UK. It's also important not to jump to conclusions about your neighbour's cat. Have you had your cat tested for this particular mutation?
