We had a kitten last year that passed away from the horrible FIP viral
infection and I put our her remaining dry Science Diet kitten food for
the
deer -- it was like they couldn't eat it fast enough.

Condolences on the loss of your kitten... :-(

Our vet vaccinates for FIP.

Thanks. It was unbelievable, I always thought of myself as a "dog person"
if
*anything* having had a couple Golden Retrievers, Welsh Terrier
(Terror),
etc. but that little kitten completely stole my heart. Both my wife and I
completely changed our lives for 3-months to care for her and when we
finally *had* to euthanize her, it was like the death of a child. That
was
9-months ago and I still think of her every day. I always thought that
people who spend a lot of money on animals were crazy but in 3 months
(she
was only 4.5 months old when she died), we spent $3500! OK, I still
think
people who spend that much on a sick animal are crazy...call me crazy!
lol

Mm, well, I _do_ suggest you change vets. ;-)

But, I have spent a lot on dying pets in the past, so I feel your pain...

Cheers!

We used 4 different vets, our regular one another for a second opinion and
two specialists. Unfortunately, FIP is one of those diseases, like rabies,
that can only be accurately diagnosed post mortem so we were trying
everything possible.
