Lacy came to me in February of 2019 as a 4 month old feral kitten. I socialized her and foster failed because she bonded with me so completely. In the end of March 2020 she became lethargic and stopped eating. She became very jaundiced and I immediately got her to our vet. He did blood work, X-rays  and gave her fluids and sent us to a specialist for a biopsy of the mass he found in her intestines. He was concerned it was either lymphoma or FIP. The next day the specialist did a biopsy and ran an FIP test. It was confirmed she had FIP. I work with various rescues in the LA area and have seen numerous cats die from the disease before the gs 441524 meds became available. I have since seen many cats survive, and thrive, during and after treatment. I knew that the vets I had been to couldn’t prescribe the meds, but I knew where to go for help. I got in touch with people who could help me find a vial of the gs drugs and drove an hour the next morning to pick one up so I could start treatment ASAP. I also ordered 4 more vials to be shipped. It was enough to get me through a couple weeks to make sure the drugs were working. The beginning of the pandemic and lockdown and I was giving my scared, former feral cat injections for 84 days by myself. It wasn’t easy!  The meds burn going in and are fairly painful for a few minutes. (There are side effects that many cats can have, such as sores and thickened skin. Thankfully Lacy didn’t have any of these.) She was very sick and it took her 2-3 weeks to actually start feeling better and eating without getting sick. I was treating her liver and her FIP at the same time. After a month her liver was normal and we stopped the liver treatment and denamarin  pills. And after 84 days of injections of the FIP meds and 84 days of observation to make sure she didn’t relapse, Lacy was CURED ❤️  I am so grateful to Dr Pederson of UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine for creating the drug and continuing to research and perfect the treatment. Without him, FIP would be a death sentence
