Chaos was a 2 for one rescue when she wandered into the trap with her brother late one hour hot July night. She was a little bundle of sweetness coated in attitude, which combined was the cutest mix. As a kitten she was always healthy, and I never even had to treat an upper respiratory infection. Things started to change with her health when I had to move to my new house after my divorce. Chaos never dealt with stress or change well, and moving was no different. She started to lose weight, and one spike high fevers. Her bloodwork was suggestive of FIP, but they could not be certain. A recheck 10 days later and the values had only gotten worse. 

Originally it was suspected to be a bacterial infection because the fever responded to antibiotics, but FIP was mentioned as a possibility. The ultrasound showed no fluids or abnormalities other than massively swollen lymph nodes. Pathology on the lymph nodes came back inconclusive. 16 days after her first vet visit, and nearly a month since it all started, Chaos spiked a second fever while still on antibiotics. At this point, I was told FIP was highly likely and there was very little we could do. All I knew was I had little answers and a very sick kitten.

My baby girl is one amazing fighter, she has been hanging on for over a month fighting this. But her health has started to decline and the signs are painful to watch. Her appetite has decreased significantly and her weight would not hold steady. She became recluse and didn't want to cuddle.

I learned about FIP Warriors and the available treatment from my friend who has lost many fosters to FIP. We are in the rescue together and that's when I decided treatment was Chaos's only chance.  Knowing I would be paying the costs, I started her on treatment. Thankfully I have been blessed with friends that helped get the medications when I was unable to drive to get them. Because of them I was able to start her right away on treatment.

Within 24 hours she started to respond, and has grown stronger every day. But a couple days into treatment we noticed Neuro/ocular symptoms so her dose has doubled. To see her playing, eating, and having her spunky attitude back is making every penny worth it!
