Send all of your good thoughts, please, as we treat 10 week old Chloe for Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).
FIP is a secondary disease that stems from an initial coronavirus infection. It is an immune disease caused by a mutation, and it isn’t contagious, but until a few years ago it was considered fatal. Now with newly available meds, we have successfully treated FIP in 6 older kittens with the guidance of our personal guardian angel and FIP Advocate, Kimberly Dawn-Merr.
Chloe is the youngest kitten we’ve had diagnosed with FIP. Within days she went from an adorable, chubby and playful kitten almost ready to spay - to barely over 1lb, pale and wobbly, dehydrated and having trouble staying warm and feeding herself. We have given the first 2 of 84 doses of life-saving medicine and are keeping our fingers crossed that she has the energy to hang in there while it does its work.
Rest assured Chloe is getting plenty of attention and care, day and night, and is fiercely loved by this team and especially by her foster, Paula. If she can pull through, we will continue to fight alongside her.
