Day 27 Update

Update posted by David Pretorius

FIP can do all sorts of terrible things to the body, and one of them is vasculitis and small little blood clots being thrown out into the system. We saw a while ago that he had a nasty sore on his ear, which progressed to hard scab-like skin, and eventually fell off a few days ago. It sounds terrible, but is not painful per se. More tingling, and unfortunately no way to stop it once it started. At the same time the very tip of his tail seemed a bit funny (not even 1cm from the very end), but we hoped that it would come back..... But not.

FIP is a crazy disease, that causes such a wide array of damage to the body. Every organ system can be hit. At least with the special medication, no further lesions have been noticed, and today (despite his tail) he ate well and played hard with his sister.

If you can help at all with his medication costs, it would be so appreciated.

We really hate having to ask for help. It's really not easy. But at this point, we would do anything to help little little ball of fluff and purrs.
