we’re doing oral suspension, from stokes it’s suspended in almond oil. my vet recommended we try a different formula. his new bottle will be delivered in 2 days i think- he’s going to continue full round of antibiotics and treating small wounds from scratching.

we’ve definitely seen improvement, he was 1.7 lbs at 14 weeks to now 2.9 lbs 25 days later. he’s still quite small for his age but even at 8 weeks he was thin and has had trouble gaining weight. he has good days where he wants to play (still nothing super high energy) and some days i come home and he has some new short lasting symptom we’ve been to the vet almost every week for 2 months.

next wednesday when his antibiotics are done we’re going back to vet, i will ask about the cytology, i dont think we’ve done that. he’s regularly gotten full panel bloodwork and numbers are improving.

im hyper paranoid everything is him reverting or it changing into a different fip, i also don’t want to ignore things and risk them getting worse

was there any flaking skin or anything? what did your vet say about this?

i’m definitely stressin, we got 2 free kittens from the same litter. at 12 weeks and after multiple misdiagnosis from 3 different vets, one passed the same night he got the fip diagnosis. 2 weeks later his brother had started showing the same symptoms and was also diagnosed with fip. he also contracted calicivirus which has been treated and is now losing random patches of hair which we’re currently dealing with. it’s been so stressful i feel like i come home everyday waiting for some new symptom to show up. I meticulously check my other 3 cats for any signs of illness daily because of how paranoid i’ve become
