bad news today
I had been noticing that Lily Rose was looking like she was losing weight. But as she's not quite 3 I assumed it was a visual thing due to a growth spurt. I had also noticed her sounding like she was coughing up hairballs a lot.
Then last night I saw discoloration in both her eyes. So today I called the vet and got her in. The news is not good. She was diagnosed as Dry Type FIP. which is almost always terminal. There is a treatment that has not yet been officially approved in the US because just before it was going to, COvID-19 hit and FIP is a coronavirus. So they changed directions for human trials not feline.
It's possible to get the treatment but it's going to cost at least $3,000 USD and I'm out of work thanks to COVID-19.
I'm devastated. But a friend set up a go fund me to help me. We shall see.
