I lost my best friend unexpectedly and struggling
Hello everyone. I lost my cat a month ago to FIP, it was unexpected and we didn’t know she had it until the day she died. She was acting weird for a few months before that and I tried telling my mom but she brushed it off, because all she was doing was hiding. Until she had a really swollen eye, and we took her to the vet, and even when her eye got better she didn’t. So we took her back to the vet and they said that her breath was foul and it could be her mouth, so they went to remove her teeth, and it turns out she had five extra teeth than a normal cat should! But she only regressed, she didn’t eat, or drink water. That weekend, we took her back to the vet, and she brought up FIP but couldn’t be sure, and gave her something to help her eat. That night she was back to her old self, and then the next day, she was so sick and we rushed her to the emergency vet who said that there’s a high chance that she has FIP. She told us that our best chance was to take her to a university, but we would need a 6k down payment. We don’t have that kind of money. She died the next day at 11:11AM. We aren’t sure if that’s what she had. I just don’t understand how she got it and I feel anger towards myself and Mom for not doing something sooner.
