Thank you all.
Fo seems better, and I am encouraged, but wary because of Curly's FIP.
Everyone is one antib's twice a day in case of FIA because we've had some anemia....that keeps my quite busy...there's a herd to pill. <LOL>
I also have been involved in a sad situation with a rescuer who needs rescuing but won't let the people who care about her help. It's very sad.
I haven't had any ebay time either, but I can't postpone some of the spay/neuters, so we'll be squeezing that in too.
On the upside of things, my normal insomnia seems to be gone for now, guess I was just not working hard enough before.
I appreciate everyone's prayers and well wishes, and I know they are helpful.
thanks

sadly I have to report yet another FIP case. Pumpkin a 4 yr old male, on of the adults I rescued with the kittens in July.
I don't even know what else to say....
I uploaded a picture of him, as well as a picture of FIP fluid drawn from Curly's abdomen so you can benefit from knowing what it looks like at least.
I am documenting all of the things with the cats so we all can perhaps learn something from this horrible outbreak.
I am emotionally, financially drained, heartsick....what a freakin nightmare.

Oh, I so sorry to hear this. Not another one. Bless you for taking care of these poor kitties. What a heartbreaking ordeal.
Would the vet be willing to donate some of the vet services, since this is rescue work?

I am sorry to say that I found Pumpkin dead on my son's floor a little while ago. I am grateful he died quickly with no obvious suffering, and he at least knew love for the 6 months we had him.
I can only pray this will be the last....
<<Would the vet be willing to donate some of the vet services, since this is rescue work?>>
my vet is always kind with his discounts, especially since he knows I fund everything on my own. He is one of those really good people.
thank you all for your prayers.
