Good news from the vet today…hope this gives some optimism

Today makes 3 weeks on GS for our 7-yr-old calico. First 13 days was liquid Rx from Stokes (sold as 15-day supply, but nope) now we’re on a bottle supplied by Chewy and will refill from there.

Got fresh labs yesterday and Dr says the cat’s globulins, total proteins and A:G ratio are all normalized.

It was the dry form of FIP that presented as high fever, lethargy, zero appetite, and drunk-staggering. At the worst of it, she would vomit and fall over and go limp…it was tough to see. Took a few days on the juice before she showed any improvement, but now she’s eating, using the litter box regularly, walking a straight line, getting up with us in the morning again and yesterday she even played a little bit for the first time in a month.

We may be out of the woods with this one, and we plan to keep her on the GS for the full 12 weeks as our vet advises. I’ve read that some cats bounced back after just days on the meds, but that was not our experience.

Good luck to the rest of you going through it and I hope this gives some hope that the program works.

(And long as I’m here, if I could add one editorial: screw Stokes. Way overpriced and they cheated us out of 2 days of liquid. There’s other solid sources that are reasonable)
