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.

I have found a new product that seems to be helping to reduce pathogen loading for the pets, including viruses.
 
I have been taking this product myself and giving it to the pets in their food and misting it into the air, diluted. This procedure is recommended for upper respiratory problems and I am using it.  
 
So far they seem to in good moods and acting pretty normally.
 
I have cleared several things out of my body as well using the misting therapy and taking it orally.
 
I have some more information at

I adopted a great kitten several weeks ago. He appeared healthy until the last couple of days. Sadly I am burying him today.
He appeared to be in good health but must have had a wound from playing with the others that I couild not detect, or had some sort of viral infection that finally took over.
He really didnt show any pain to speak of last night. I felt a need to give him some fluids because he was not drinking much water or eating. This seemed to help him a little but an hour or so later, after midnight, I was up with him until 4:30 am  and continued giving him some fluids under the skin(Lactated Ringers). He was having mobility problems at that time and I was just hoping that his lack of fluids and body temp of lower 90s   (electronic ear thermometer) was affecting him.  
 
I put a heating pad under  him around midnight and kept filling him with some fluids over time. I got up about an hour later and he had expired.  
 
I am sorry Pat, I did what I could for you buddy. Will see you one bright day on the other side, I hope.

Two days ago I lost another great cat, fluffy. He had been in my family for over a year and he was loved by all of the pets and very cuddly. He was breathing heavily for several days,laying around and restless, then he went into the kitchen and died. Just like blackie.
 
I did some research last night and apparently the heavy breathing can be caused by a lack of red blood cells. These take time to replace, if the anemia is temporary.  
 
There is a form of anemia that cannot be overcome I just learned about last night.
 
I am giving the pets pettinnic iron + a few vitamins mixed in the food, along with other vitamin additives to try to avoid that kinda thing in the future.

    This week I have decided to try some new immune booster for my cats. I am hopeful that this will work. It is touted to help cats recover from various problems, including cancer and feline leukemia. Time will tell.

    I have a cat that has been ill for about two weeks. She is bloated but in good spirits otherwise. After my vet neglected some other cats about two weeks ago and they died, I have decided to branch out.
    Today I took a black and white kitty in for an exam and the vet bill so far is estimated by the vet to be over 400 dollars. She made me pay 1/2 down and kept the cat. A call later indicates that she has drained the cat down and has sent a blood sample off for testing.
     
    Her prognosis is infectious peritonitis with fluid filling her body cavity over time. I have been giving El the transfer factor for a few days now and have some hope that her continued treatment will effect a stabilization of her condition after a while.
    I dont expect miracles but who knows? This stuff is supposed to be great for immune system building for people and pets and I am expecting it to work as advertised. Time will tell.

    I might add that normally infectious peritonitis is fatal with a 0 survival rate, however this stuff is giving me some kind of hope. It is touted to be effective in all sorts of immune deficiency disease issues and I hope that it works. El is a very good kitty and she and I both want her to live.

    I got the cat back on Tuesday but the vet was not there(swing shift in a group of 3 vets). I talked to the vet on the phone about the fluid they removed from the pet   (2 cups) and later to another vet about the blood test results(low white blood cell count and positive for feline leukemia). They sold me some vitamins and some clindamycin. I have been giving her the pettinnic vitamins and the antibiotic now for several days, twice a day. I have also been continuing giving her some other stuff that is supposed to help her as well. She is doing well so far, with a good appetite although she is not walking around much.  
     
    I have not heard from the vet regarding the test result information that was pending on the infectious peritonitis.

    The pet was showing improvement and lived for about a week. The other morning I woke to her twitching on the floor and nothing I could do to revive her. She was fine an hour before but at 6 am she had moved her location to near the door and started having problems. I really had a lot of hope but I don't feel like the vet we went to handled her end of the situation or communication with us very well. Her assistant that did the draining of the pet initially informed us that this was her first time...not much faith in that kind of experience.

    A couple of days after the pet died, there was another pet that came down with symptoms that matched some of the others that died. Labored breathing and listlessness.  
    I began feeding the pet fluids by mouth and got him to eat some baby food for a little bit, but he was restless and upset when I put him in a cage. So I decided to let him roam and he was ok for about a day, but he finally showed up with an extremely snotty nose and meowing a lot.
    I tried to help him but he would not drink anything, I presume his throat was sore. He gagged when I tried to give him some fluids and then he stiffened up and died on me. Such a great cat. He really was counting on me to help. Sorry Blackie, I did what I could.
