Diagnosis Confirmed

The specialist blood results come back from Glasgow: They confirm FIP, "Prognosis: Guarded". I know what the means. I am now an 'expert' on Feline Coronavirus and FIP: Have read everything available on the internet and in particular on Diane Addie's website; She is a REAL expert and most of Dylan's treatment plan is based on her recommendations. The more I read the more depressing it gets though as so few cats ever survive this terrible disease. She has been trying to find a cure for years but is hampered by lack of funding and the fact that it is such a complicated disease. I pray that one day she succeeds and can prevent any other cat lover from going through this heartache. There is a Japanese Vet who has had some success using Interferon and steroids so I hold onto this shred of hope.
