OT: Nushi – 1st test results are back and it’s bad. Almost surely FIP. The ataxia grows worse every day. Seeing her wobbly gait today I can barely believe Monday night I wasn’t sure something was wrong. She’s toppling over more and more and it breaks my heart to see my lithe, graceful ballerina girl in this state. From what I can tell she isn’t in discomfort except she’s confused as to why she can’t move well. Still eating, with perhapsa slight decrease in appetite. All other signs of health…soft shiny coat, good stools, all there. I’ve sent the results to a specialist at UC Davis and continue to look for a study or some way to get her the new drugs that have helped, but they’re only available on the black market and they might not work for her form of FIP…
My heart hurts and I’m not sure how long I will have my beautiful girl, but I’m doing my best to keep her comfortable and loved and to enjoy her while I can. It’s just so hard to stay in the moment with her, but her gloriously loud purr helps. Thanks again for your support and for listening. Nushi will be 10 mo old on 6/10.
