Smokey turns the corner:) 02162017

January 23, 2023

While Smokey is still very sick with a bad cold, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, elevated WBC, and general lack of energy, his doctors now all feel he has NOT had a relapse of FIP.   They are not sure why he had what appeared to be neurological symptoms in the beginning of this episode.  The simple truth is they do not have enough data to know.    This video shows him over the past few days.   I left out the more graphic earlier videos of him shaking and twitching as it is hard to watch.   He started on antibiotics today, on top of Sucralfate to sooth his throat.  We also treated all 22 cats with Revolution to rule out Roundworm.    While no one knows if Smokey will stay in remission,  we feel confident that whatever this illness was, he is beating it.   Smokey FIPWarrior will continue to be in this fight.   

Please consider becoming a Human FIPWarrior and helping the researchers finish their work and find the cure.
