I adopted little Charlie on September 26. Charlie was very playful, loved to climb (the humane society named him Squirrel), and explore from the get go. Aside from a minor eye infection, he seemed to be a very happy and healthy kitten. I had brought him in for a routine veterinary appointment both on October 11 and November 5 with no concerns from me or the veterinarian. Then, on November 7 I noticed he was no longer his playful self and stopped eating the food he once loved. Instead, he spent most of his time sleeping. Worried, I called the vet and was told to monitor his condition, as he was not showing any severe symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea. After a week of his continued lethargic mood, I called the vet again and made an appointment for November 23, which was the soonest I could get him in. That day I brought him in expecting a mild, treatable condition. Unfortunately, however, I was told he has wet Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP).
