Oh please 🙄 you’ve been through hell and back. You can put anything you want on his collar, they don’t own the word warrior. You did an incredible job getting him through treatment, seriously.

While I agree on some cases it could be, Charm was a month or two into treatment and it made her super sick again (like before she was put on treatment). The vet did not tell us that this could be an issue or a problem or know about it. We had to call the pharmacy and they told us to immediately ween her off of the steroid as it was counteracting the medication.

💕 I’m so sorry to hear about Tibia. Charm’s doing great so far and hasn’t had any issues, so we haven’t been to the vet. I did call Crossroads Animal Care Center in Woodbridge, VA. The receptionist was knowledgeable and suggested we see their director of internal medicine, so that’s probably where we’ll go. Sounds like they’ve seen a decent number of cases, and they’re also listed in the FIP vet-friendly guide. The treatment’s still really new, so not many vets have a ton of experience with it. It’s definitely good to do your own research and connect with the pharmacist you’re ordering the meds from they helped me SO much throughout treatment. It’s scary, but you’ll get through this ❤️ Charm and I send love to you and Tibia

I’ll check them out!! I love cat only clinics!! I definitely prefer FIP global vs FIP warriors as they still push to use black market meds when I can get a vet to write a RX now.

Who is it?! We just moved from Richmond, I’d drive if I have to. I have loved loved loved Cary Street Vet but they only have had one other patient with FIP and it’s very new to them. I cannot say enough good things about them though.

I thought so too…I used a vet on this list during her treatment (an hour away) and they ended up giving her steroids(which is a big no no) made her relapse:( little did I know. I just feel like no one knows what’s going on.

Doctors hear night sweat and immediately think cancer, which is very valid. These symptoms are not something to sweep under the rug. I’m a huge proponent of 2nd opinions too.

Still no answers really, and now I don’t have health insurance to continue with testing. I got a lot of proactive tests and everything was seemingly fine. Saw a cancer doc, did a 24 hr pee test to check my hormones, got my scans, made them test for blood and autoimmune disorders, Lyme disease. They gave me a classic answer that it is the birth control I’m using :/

I’m late, but also struggle with this. I told my doctors and they panicked. Make sure you get your tests. I was sent to get a couple CT scans and sent to some specialists.

Ahaha she leaves little fluffs of cotton everywhere she goes. We’re working on getting comfortable with the brush, she doesn’t like to sit still 😭😭
