In reply to Jimmy. Hi Jimmy. An abdomen containing excess fluid in a kitten is very likely to be FIP. Sorry, I cannot help you with the treatment.

I’ve adopted a 3 months old kitten. recently she is being sleep all the time and swollen belly and asks for food everytime I go near kitchen. I took her for X-Ray and Ultrasound, everything was normal but there was an unknown liquid inside of the abdominal area. I live in iran and vets aren’t that good and the new treatment GS44 is not available in iran. I don’t know is she a FIP case or not. I’m lost.

In reply to Cecelia. Hi Cecelia. Yours sounds like a very unusual case. The normal to increased appetite is a very good sign, but what it might be is hard to say. Certainly, fluid in the abdomen at any rate detectable by ultrasound is abnormal and usually indicates an important problem. As for what they mean by chainlink clusters, I’m guessing enlarged lymph nodes, which suggests some involvement of the immune system. FIP remains a possibility, but if that was the case, you should see an eventual loss in appetite.

My 4 month old kitten has always had some belly issue and now its getting worse. She was the last in the litter to be weaned by at least a week because if she ate any type of food she would get sick late in the night. Always been very vocal will at times sense you near by and wether she be playing or napping she is gonna come up and start this almost yelling of a meow that usually stops once you pet her or rub her belly. Very affectionate in nature sheckc seems to enjoy having her belly rubbed gently. And normally playful the last week or so she just barely nibbles at the food and is much more lethargic. Her mom is a very picky eater and eats almost as if it hurts her front teeth to bite down.

In reply to Navya. Hi Nayva. I can’t give you any more information than is in the article, but there is a reasonable likelihood of FIP.

In reply to Imra. Hi Imra. Can I suggest an ultrasound examination – it will separate the common causes of an enlarged abdomen straight away.

Hello someone help me please!
My kitten is an exotic short hair 5 months old; he has been lethargic and developed a swallen belly. Took him to four different vets and no one knew what is wrong with him. Symptoms are lethargic, drinks too much water, diarrhea and swallen belly. One vet did blood test and fecal culture and said everything is normal . I don’t know what to do; he should be properly diagnosed as his health is deteriorating. Could someone help me please
