Re: Dental visit - but not for Cinderella, she's sick

Oh Marie, I am so sorry to hear about Cinderella. Please know that I am sending prayers and warm thoughts your way and only wish there were more I could do.

Re: Dental visit - but not for Cinderella, she's sick

I called to make her follow-up appointment for this Thursday - that's the day a vet who specializes in cats works with my vet and she's been told about Cinderella.

She seems to be doing okay, I'm hoping she gained a couple ounces (or more). As long as she hasn't lost any more weight, it'll be good.

Oh Marie, I just saw this thread. I had no idea about such a disease until just reading it. I'm so very very sorry that Cinderella has it. You and your little furr-family are in mine and my girls thoughts and prayers.

Re: Dental visit - but not for Cinderella, she's sick

I just got home from Cinderella's check up. It wasn't good. She's gained almost a pound, but xrays revealed that there is fluid around her heart and lungs. My vet called the best person she knows in San Diego to see if she can get me in today, so I'm going to another specialist in an hour for another ultrasound and who knows what else.

I'm afraid I'm going to be paying a lot of money to be told bad news, but how could I say no?

Marie, I'm so sorry to hear that. I truely hope that you find out at least a bit of good news when you go to see this specialist. I'm so glad that Cinderella has you as her mom. You are an amazing person to be doing all of this for her. :)

Oh, Marie! I hope the other specialist can help Cinderella! It's horrible to feel so helpless to do something - anything that will just fix our sick ones.
Good thoughts and wishes coming to you both from Ohio.

Re: Dental visit - but not for Cinderella, she's sick

Thanks, guys.

Renée, you're so sweet, especially with everything going on in your own life!

It was just one bit of bad news after another today. She has a fever, gained about a pound, but it's mostly fluid around her heart and lungs, so it appears that her dry FIP is now wet FIP. A sample of the fluid is being sent to UC Davis, where they have a pretty definitive test for FIP, but the specialist looked at it and said she's pretty certain of the diagnosis.

So, as I was afraid, $800 later, it's wet FIP.

I'm supposed to check her breathing several times a day and when it becomes labored and/or she stops eating, it's probably time to bring her in. :(
