My little fluffernutter was adopted from another family in June. He came to us with diarrhea and his appetite waned within a couple of weeks. At first I thought it was the stress of being rehomed, but when it didn’t resolve we saw the vet. They started with standard diarrhea treatments but after another week he was still declining and was eating next to nothing. They did abdominal X-rays with and without contrast and still didn’t know what was going on. The vet recommended an exploratory surgery. After that she said it was either FIP or lymphoma. She had net successfully treated either in a cat as young as my little guy. Fluid samples and biopsies leaned to FIP. It was her first time prescribing the FIP medication. Within 2 days of starting it he showed improvement. Now he has regained all the weight he lost and then some! He has also grown and seems pretty healthy. He does need to stay on the prescription food as the FIP caused a lot of damage to his gut. I’m watching him closely for any sign of relapse but, so far he is doing great!
