Kelley, Gentle Bridge vibes to Suzie. I am sorry she didn't come out of her coma. Please try not to blame yourself.

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
I'm thinking, Hideyo. Stress can bring on FIP, right? We have Joey, who was 10, and an owner surrender. We have Lucky Lady, who is 12 and was an owner surrender and I don't think will live much longer. We have Caroline, who is 5 and an owner surrender. We have Suzie, who was 5 and a stray, but from how affectionate she was and the fact she was spayed already, she was clearly someone's cat. I think it is some kind of stress related illness. I don't think it is bleach or cleaning stuff or asbestos. I think something is stressing these cats badly enough to kill them. I tried to save too many and I'm killing them instead. I do have another old cat who seems ok..but he came from outside...and he is just happy to have a warm place to sleep. The kittens are all ok, except for conjunctivitis.. I just don't know...

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
Kelley. I;m very sorry Suzie didn't make it, I wish she could have had longer with you. Are you having a necropsy done to confirm the FIP diagnosis? I personally would to be sure that's what it was and especially for peace of mind. Maybe the vet would do it free of charge or for a discount to see if that's what was going on, I would think he would be curious. No matter what any vet say's there is no test that is reliable or accurate for FIP, only a necropsy can confirm it 100%. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
Belinda, I'm not sure I can afford it to be bluntly honest. I still owe $200 on Caroline and this was probably $1k more for Suzie..I haven't even asked and quite frankly do not want to know. I have to think about what is going to happen if another cat gets sick and I have spent money on a necropsy for Suzie and I can't afford to treat the sick one. She was in a coma this morning and he didn't feel she would come out. I think he euthanized her more due to that than due to the test result.

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
You don't think your vet would do it as a courtesy to find out what is going on. If it isn't FIP there is the possibility of maybe being able to treat the others that are coming down with unknown aliments. If it is FIP then you know for sure you have done all that is possible. Not trying to be mean or make you feel bad, but it just bugs the h*ll out of me when vets say FIP and stop looking or treating.

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
Kelly, You are right about the stress. We had an owner surrender at our shelter in Fl. He was 5 yrs old, and had never known anyone else. He just sat on top of a cabinet and literally tried to starve. We took him home, and he is OK except for severe stomatitis. Clearly, it can affect the immune system. The other issue we ran into last year was Panleuk. It was a virulent strain. 100's of cats died in good shelters. In each case, a rescue cat brought it in. It was the worst esperience of my life, burying 40+ cats from this one group. It broke my heart. I know your funds are shot, but a necropsy with a tox screen might help you.

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
He did a titer test. I know the only way to be certain a cat has FIP is to do a necropsy (although I do trust his diagnosis). Titer tests without symptoms (inappetence, depression, and weight loss) don't mean much, and he generally doesn't do them. In the presence of symptoms with a test result with high titers, a presumptive diagnosis of FIP can be made. Thanks for correcting me in my time of grief, though!

I'll be glad to look at it. But even if the bloodwork looks like FIP -- I have a friend who had a rescue with bloodwork that screamed FIP yet the cat was treated with anitbiotics for infection and recovered fully. FIP is so difficult to diagnose and sufficiently rare that you really have to assume it's something else and keep looking.

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
Well, she was treated with antibiotics (and interferon) but when he came in this morning and she was in a coma, he euthanized her. I don't know anything about cats and comas and how likely they are to recover. But if he felt she had a chance for recovery he would not have euthanized her.

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
Dear Kelley, I'm sitting here in tears, my heart is breaking for you - And, I tried to respond to your other post (THREE TIMES!!!) but we had a severe heat-induced storm, and every time I was just about ready to send it, THE POWER WENT OFF!! I was so very concerned about your losses and the whole FIP [and toxo] thing.. My dear, sweet, ancient Puma was diagnosed with BOTH And, thru BW only And, I am old school must agree w/ the other replys about FIP only can be confirmed w/ a necropsy. (And, trust me, I know only too well. I won't get into ALL details now [inappropriate], but I did lose two of my own [while fostering MANY - and my guys were NEVER w/ the fosters] And, my Oden, only 3, did pass due to FIP - confirmed thru necropsy.(After Magpie's [foster kitten] passing..) And, yes, it was a [foster] kitten [just 3 months old] who died first. [FIP - confirmed also thru necropsy. Actually, the first necropsy. Shelter director insisted.] Glad, sort of, that she did. But, that's when I had an FIP epidemic in my house.. So, I had all fosters tested, BW only, but NOT my own babies. I figured, What's the sense? They were never exposed, in the same area, separate dishes, etc. to Magpie or any of my other fosters. Now, w/ Puma, I'm kicking myself in a$$! Suggestion - Is there any shelters close that would do a necropsy? Reason I ask is because our shelter always did any kind of veterinary services, no questions asked. And, w/ your history, I really can't see a problem. Again, I would attempt to reply to your other post, but, I'm crying my yes out, and being visually impaired, that's a real problem. Please know, you are in my prayers Much love hugs, Patti her gang ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
This still doesn't mean a cat has FIP, if nothing else fits most vets will assume it is FIP but the absolute ONLY way to 100% confirm it is FIP is with a necropsy. I'm sorry I have to keep harping on this but with all the misinformation out there about FIP (same as with FeLV) still today and new people always joining the list I don't want anyone to get and spread incorrect information. There are enough things in this world to get freaked out about without adding false ones. When a vet says a cat is positive for FIP he is wrong, he may be positive and with high titers for the corona viruses that are suspected to cause FIP but that doesn't in most cases mean he has FIP.

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
I had two cats that were confirmed yes or no this way. One was a kitten that lost all of his fur, and his belly swelled to HUGE proportions.. He was sooo ugly, he only had fur around his neck on his head. Caspian had fluid removed from his belly that tested neg. as FIP. Finally, after many tests, my vet said he was out of ideas, just take him home and love him, either he will recover, grow out of itor he won't. He did. Now he is big beautiful Main Coon, and healthy as a horse. W/ Serenity, my felv+ cat, same thing, fluid pulled from the belly, tests confirm FIP. I also understand that the FIP fluid will be a bright yellow in color. And when I was working @ the Humane Society, we opened up a kitten for her spay, and she was full of FIP fluid. She had been acting fine, however, we did not wake her up. Her organs inside were already damaged. Susan J.

There are enough things in this world to get freaked out about without adding false ones. When a vet says a cat is positive for FIP he is wrong, he may be positive and with high titers for the corona viruses that are suspected to cause FIP but that doesn't in most cases mean he has FIP. Unless it is the wet form, then fluid can be pulled from the cat's stomach and tested. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Re: Suzie crossed the bridge
I'm so sorry you lost Suzie and Lucky Lady. I know you are going through a really tough time right now, and I can definately relate. I've been wondering as well if there's something I am doing wrong, or some kind of virus/disease in my house that could contribute to my losing 3 kitties in the space of a month and a half, when I had nothing but healthy kitties for 12 years. It is so tough to pinpoint a cause though, and it may be just a run of bad luck. I always thought cats were hardy, and could expect to live 20 years as the norm, but I see now they are alot more fragile than I thought. It may be nothing more than coincidence that they seem to all get sick at the same time. The stress of worrying about your babies, and worrying about doing all you can to help them tends to wear one down alot. You are in my thoughts, and hopefully things will calm down for you and your babies soon.
