Help save the kitten Atlas from FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis).
The news is not good unfortunately.
My Atlas hasn't been very lucky in his first year of life. After just 2/3 months of having parvovirus, coronavirus and a fungus, now he has a much more serious deadly disease called FIP. He started to lose his appetite, vomit almost every day, less active, sleep more, don't play, don't pick on the other 2 cats at home, we immediately saw that something was going on. We took him to the veterinary hospital, he had normal tests, they gave him 2 injections and he came home to be re-evaluated the next day. The next day everything was the same, we went back to the hospital, he was admitted for an ultrasound, an IV, etc. An ultrasound performed detected a yellow liquid in the abdomen, he was sedated, they removed some of the liquid to perform a PCR and cytology and the result was wet PIF.
He was discharged on Saturday, is at home, medicated, apparently normal, sleeps a lot and isolates himself a lot. We have to start very expensive treatment and unfortunately without help it will be very difficult. The treatment is carried out with 84 injections given once per day for 84 days, always at the same time. Each vial with the anti-viral is 6ml and costs €70 each, each injection will be 1.3ml (depending on the cat's weight), so one vial lasts between 4/5 days.
Halfway through the process we will have to switch to oral medication where each pill costs €26. I started treatment on September 3rd 2023 and it will end on November 24th, after which I will have to be monitored regularly for the following 3 months.
With control exams (analysis), treatment, adequate food, the estimate is around €2000.
Thank you to anyone who helps save Atlas.
No hospital.
