He had fluid in his lungs and was having a very hard time breathing. We did blood work and xrays and removed some of the fluid in his lungs for temporary relief. They told me my little sweetheart had FIP. I didn't want him to suffer so I put him down shortly after. I feel absolutely devastated. He had just turned 8 months old. All we can do is remember the good times we had because cats with FIP only get worse and in some cases very quickly. My heart goes out to all the pet owners who had to deal with the same loss I just did! xoxo I just put my cat down a couple of hours ago.

I dont know why they dont offer the vaccine if this is an illness that "they say is fatal" they talked me into putting my cat down and i trusted them and did it and wonder if i should have. I so hope that your cat gets better and proves them to be wrong, it can happen and my prayers are with you.

By these two days time my dog had struggled a lot that he could not take his meal and saliva started pouring from his mouth continuously. finally when i took him to a vet hospital ,they injucted him with dexamethasone+ampicillin 250mg +bcomplex. within half an hour after injuction my dog had a fatal death. my doubt is whether this medicine combination would have caused any side effect in my dogs metabolism? pls clarify. my dog had swallowed a wire which got struck between his tooth, which i noticed only after two days and removed the wire from his mouth.

I've had many cats in my life but i swear this cat had a soul. She was meek and humble and loved people. She was attached instantly to my four year old son. Any chance she got she would climb in his lap to sleep , play, or just rub on his face with hers. When i would do my hair in the mornings, she'd come and climb in my lap and just purr, even while i used the blowdryer. She was my shadow. She was oh so playful too. I had never met a cat with her amazing personality in my life. She was a shelter cat. Four days after bringing her home she started sneezing and having a runny nose. Took her to the shelter vet where they said it was just a cold and gave me amoxil. Two days later she started hiding. She found a hole behind the cabinets we couldnt get to. We didnt find her for two hours. We were convinced she crawled somewhere and died bc all she had done the few days before was sleep. Yet when she was up, she still had her gentle loving way and purred as much as ever. We knew something was terribly wrong bc she could only breath out her mouth and she had a fever. Took her to a 24 hour emergency clinic this past sunday morning at 3 am. Gave her two shots and some other stuff and told us it was a bad upper respiratory virus that just had to run it's course. We brought her back home and set her up in a room with a humidifier and some cozy quiet spots to sleep. Come sunday evening i could hear bad wheezing in her lungs and it took effort on her part just to breathe. I also noticed her stomach had become pot belly looking over night. So i took her to my private vet yesterday, and well she told me that without doing testing she knew my Zoe had FIP. I suspected it too. So i took her home last night and stayed up with her all night just loving on her and crying. And i'm telling you, she knew i was upset. She just stared at me and kept touching my cheek with her paw. I've never had a moment like that with an animal in my life. This morning, she was actually up and walking around the house and actually attemping to play.........this made things even harder on me. But i listened to her lungs and they sounded worse. So i took her back to the spca like was planned and said goodbye. We haven't even had this kitten very long, but i'm torn to pieces. I had a pomeranian that was MY SHADOW for two years and when i coudlnt keep her anymore, it didnt grieve me as bad is this now does. I have been sobbing all day, can't eat and just keep expecting to see her coming down the stairs. They are offering me my pick of fostered kittens, so they are much healthier, but i dont know if i can get another cat right now. I just wanted you to know i feel your pain, and it's amazing how they crawl into your heart and become family to you. You would swear i lost a relative. REading this blog has really helped me to cope. Thanks for letting me share. And everyone reading this, cherish your pets, love them......they are truly irreplaceable and bring so much to your life.
