Well, da pathologist didn't find anything else. No bacteria, no fungi, so we are pretty sure it is FIP.
Maurice went to da vet dis mornin to get his fluid drained. We think it helped him feel a lil better. He's still feelin bad, but he has been enjoyin a lot of pets.
These are some pics of Maurice and his momma. You can see how dey luv each other.
Maurice likes my momma too. Her and Maurice's momma are sisters, in case ya ain't figured it out.
Sometimes I think I should do this to her too, she does like to talk.
Da peeps are worried about keepin Maurice comfortable. I'm not ready to lose my big black and white buddy. I don't think I can handle bein da senior kitty of da house. I's only 1 1/2, I ain't sposed to have to deal with dis responsibility. And who are gonna show me and Crockett how to be elegant graceful kitties? We may not get it right away, but Maurice is a real good example.
It's all sadness around here.
Such a sad day for all of you. I'm so sorry Maurice was diagnosed with FIP. Hopefully you can keep him comfortable and share many more hugs for as long as possible. Travis and Crockett, don't worry, Maurice will teach you everything you need to know - if not in purrson, than from Spirit World. No matter what happens, you'll always be connected to each other.
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be ok for now, enjoyin pets and kitty treats.
Deleteoh NOES!!! All we can say is we are so so sorry...we have our paws crossed that Maurice will be comfy for however long he decides to stay, and that Mommy is sending love and strength for his Momma. purrs...

DeleteOMC! I’m sorry and I’m pouring on the healing purrz. He’s got the wet kind and that’s not good. Our neighbor Rusty lived with the other FIP into his teenage years. Should I mention how young your Mom is??
ReplyDeleteYeah, da wet kind are real nasty.
DeleteAnd I thought my momma were ancient, I mean, ya ever met a 27 year old cat? She moves pretty good for her age though.
I am so sorry about Maurice, that is so sad. I pray that it is not FIP and an antibiotic will help. http://15andmeowing.com

The problem is dat there is not really one good test for FIP - da only sure way to 100% know is to do an autopsy, which are kinda pointless by da time dat happens. We are waiting for one more test on his fluid.
DeleteDa only other thing the vet said it could be was some kind of nasty very aggressive cancer. Which are not really any better. And dey really thought it was FIP.
((((hugs)))) keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers xoxo

DeleteTravis, we don't think you two need to be worrying about being elegant and graceful kitties. It just isn't ever going to happen. Just concentrate on giving Maurice lots of love. Sending our love, purrs and prayers. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
