Unfortunately, one of my recent adoptees, puddin, a small siamese medium hair male kitten, has succumbed to abdominal swelling which is usually caused by a reaction to a nasal bacteria that leads to FIP. He was a difficult kitten as he did not like me much, but I did what I could for him. It is difficult when you have a cat that is not eating and will not take anything by mouth, but I tried. The best I could do was give him a steamer with a few drops of MMS in the water, that relaxed him. I gave him some fluids to help with dehydration, but it is difficult dealing with this body swelling problem(FIP). I would love to get a kitten or cat that lives through it, I really would. I was with him until he died the other morning in the early am. Will see you on the other side some day puddin, along with all of the others.
