bendy is dying
they did an emergency ultrasound to see what was behind the fluid in his abdomen, ran all in house blood work
everything points to one thing...
FIP
the cyclosporin he is on is slowing it down. he is still happy. but its a week or two at the most.

Re: you've all been great friends...
Hoping it's not true. It usually affects cats in the first 3 years of life. Maybe a second opinion.
Please check your email, I just sent you an e-book that I downloaded just now off of

If it is FIP, it Dr. Addie says

http://www.dr-addie.com/treatment.htm wrote:When I first came to Feline Infectious Peritonitis research, FIP was an incurable condition. Most reported "recoveries" were probably curable conditions wrongly diagnosed as FIP. With the introduction of feline interferon we now see a glimmer of hope: treatment can occasionally effect a remission, sometimes for months and about 25% of cases recover completely. However, a lot more work requires to be done.

Re: you've all been great friends...
almost nonexistant albumin
high globulin
anemic
protein rich fluid filling abdomen
granulomas forming on organs (see in ultrasound)
sudden weight loss, he is skin and bones and a belly.
i have known more cats over 6 years old who have died of FIP than young ones.
the wet form is hard to miss
i trust these vets more than any other
the cyclosporin that finally got his stomatitis under control is slowing it down.

I don't know what to say.
Re: you've all been great friends...
I am in shock. Bendy has been a true inspiration to me and because of him I rescued a few "no-chance" cats, some of whom are still with me. The others spent their last days/months/years filled with love. Bendy, you are my hero.
Re: you've all been great friends...
Bendy IS Handicapped Pets. Prayers, prayers, prayers for him and you. Wish we could all be right there with you.

Aww, I'm sorry. It DOES sound like the classic form, sadly enough.
