I know it's scary to see it - but she must not be in pain, just uncomfortable -
My first FIP boy, which was about 4 years ago, he actually developed FIP right after I gave him baytrill for some reason.. he stopped eating right after he got pills, and he accumulated fluid in his tummy, he passed away within 72 hours - Michelle - do you want to read an article of the study that Mr. Ishida did.. if so, I can forward you a copy.. I think a draining will make her feel more comfortable for sure ..and they can send it to a lab to find out more about it --- _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 2:03 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Please pray for Lucy She just laid around all day, very lethargic. When I woke up at 2:30 she was walking around the room looking at food bowls, so I fed her baby food and she ate almost a jar. She then purred a lot when I pet and kissed her for a while, and after I pilled her she washed herself. I just upped her pred again. Her belly is super big. Gray thinks we shouldn't give her fluids anymore because he thinks they go to her belly, but the vet had said that would only be possible if she had low proteins in her blood, which she doesn't. I am going to ask my vet tomorrow about draining. She is laying on her heating pad right now. Her belly is so big that she often has to lay in strange positions to accommodate it. It is very frightening. In a message dated 1/30/2007 3:57:22 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Oh no.. I understand - -I wouldn't do it either if I were you..
