r/cureFIP

Good day, everyone!

I am a solo animal rescuer based in Manila, Philippines.

Elfy is an abandoned cat whom I rescued after finding her extremely weak, malnourished, and struggling to eat. On May 9, I was able to bring her to the vet. According to the vet, Elfy has dental issues and was diagnosed with Neuro FIP. She was confined for three days and prescribed oral medications, as well as GS-441524 — a daily injectable treatment for FIP.

Elfy received her first GS injection on May 15 and has been receiving her daily shots continuously since then. Thankfully, she has been showing improvements every single day. Her weight has increased from 1.6 kg to 2 kg, and she now has more energy and a much better appetite.

Today, I was able to bring Elfy back to Serbisyo Beterinaryo Animal Hospital (the same animal hospital where she was confined and diagnosed with Neuro FIP) for a follow-up check-up. The vet said she is slightly anemic (usually happens to Neuro FIP patients) and was prescribed an oral iron supplement. The vet also confirmed that Elfy’s FIP treatment will last up to 84 days.

I was also able to purchase Elfy’s second vial of GS-441524 through the website recommended by the vet: https://www.basmifipphilippines.com/

Elfy is now on her second vial. Since the dosage depends on her weight and she continues to gain weight almost every day, each vial only lasts for a few days. The website where I purchase the GS medication also has a dosage calculator that veterinarians follow.

Today, I am humbly knocking on your heart's door to help support Elfy’s medical expenses as she continues her fight against Neuro FIP. She is incredibly brave and strong, but she still needs our help. Let us please help her win this battle. She deserves the chance to live a healthier, happier, and longer life.

Any amount you can share will mean so much and will go directly toward Elfy’s treatment and care. Rest assured that I will continue posting updates with photos and receipts throughout Elfy’s recovery journey. Thank you.

Donations will be used for:

• 2 vials of GS-441524 ($35 per vial) – $70
• 12 cans of recovery food ($4 per can) – $48
• 12 days of injection fees ($8 per shot/day) – $96
• 12 days of transportation for injections ($2 per day) – $24
• Follow-up check-up every 14 days (next appointment: June 4) – $23

Total Needed: $261

Please note that I bring Elfy to the nearest veterinary clinic, Deloso Veterinary Clinic, for her daily GS-441524 injections.

Meet Shrek 🐾

Shrek is a senior male cat rescued from a parking lot in heartbreaking condition. He had bald patches, wounds across his body, and was severely underweight despite being regularly fed.

After being taken to a veterinary clinic, he was diagnosed with mycoplasma, FIP, food allergies causing skin issues, and a mouth infection. He will also need dental treatment, neutering, and vaccinations once he recovers from FIP.

Right now, Shrek is safe in a paid foster home, which costs 400 AED per month, while he undergoes treatment. His GS medication costs 140 AED per vial, and his total treatment expenses over the next three months are estimated to be around 2,500 AED (687 USD).

Shrek has already been through so much, and now he finally has a chance to recover and live comfortably. Any donation, no matter the amount, would make a huge difference in helping him get the care he needs 🤍

I’ve attached pictures from the parking lot where he was rescued from as well as the blood reports and bills from the vet as proof. The GS vials are being privately sourced as they are cheaper that way than buying from the clinic (I brought a few initially from the vet). I cannot attach videos here for some reason but feel free to message me privately if you require additional proof.

You can donate through the link below, I will receive the amount then pay the foster and the supplier. I can also send proof of transactions after payment if required.

Thank you

I brought my cat to the vet due to sudden cloudy eye. He believed it’s a cataract after some bloodwork.

Should I get a second opinion? Her energy levels still seem high and she still loves to eat. However now when walking down and up the stairs she looks back at me instead.

I have an eye appointment scheduled for her on June 10 but wanted to know if you guys think this is more of an emergency.

My oldest cat was diagnosed with Ocular FIP.
Currently, we are needing help with his meds.. If you have extra Aino 50mg tablets please contact me.

Or if you can share any small amount. Weekly meds would be around 3K we will be trying the tablets for 1 month bago bumalik ulit sa vet.

I dont usually ask for help but since Im currently 7 months pregnant medyo mabigat ang meds ng Boss Ace ace ko..

Please, please help us extend his life..

Our almost 7 month old fought a good fight and won. We didn’t think he would make it at one point but he is as crazy as he’s ever been!

So thankful for all the vets and everyone that has helped!

Hello po,

I’m just asking for some advice and help as well. This is Tatang Harvard. He has Dry FIP and his treatment was extended for another month, making it a total of 128 days of FIP treatment. Has anyone here experienced something similar where the treatment lasted more than 100 days? The fluid in his abdomen still hasn’t gone away, even after several tests have already been done.

IHe is currently boarding at MFC. If you also have spare coins or any small financial help, it would really mean a lot for Tatang. 😢🙏

Just today my oldest cat Ace was diagnosed wit Ocular FIP
Im currently 7 months pregnant and hoping to get some help with his meds.

Please help extend his life, his my emotional support during the times that i'm sad..

I previously posted about our kitten Orla who was diagnosed with FIP very quickly and has since started medication. We have noticed improvements immediately with her eating again and being playful and very cuddly, she almost seems fully back to her old self.

The only thing I have noticed today is that her nose seems congested and she is sneezing a fair bit, should we be concerned about this and what can we do to help her.

Any advice welcome.

Hello everyone 😞

I am humbly asking for help for my cat, Ginger, who was recently diagnosed with FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), a deadly disease in cats. I am only a first-year nursing student and I have already spent almost PHP 17,000 for his confinement, CBC, xray, blood chemistry tests, antibiotics, and supportive medications.

As of now, Ginger urgently needs GS-441524 treatment to continue fighting FIP 😞 One vial costs PHP 3,190 and is only good for 7 days. His special food and other medical needs are also very costly.

Despite everything, Ginger is still fighting 🥹 He is eating better now, gaining weight slowly, and becoming active again. I truly want to give him a chance to survive and recover.

Any amount will mean so much for Ginger’s treatment 😞 I will provide receipts, proof of treatment, and updates for transparency.

Thank you so much po 🤍

Our Maine Coon, Ash, is 1 year and 3 months old, and we took her to the ER on Monday (5/11) because she has an abdominal ascites with a ton of fluid (I believe she has about 500ccs of fluid in her abdominal cavity). 4 days ago we got the test results back saying that she has tested positive for FIP and is currently undergoing treatment.

The ER did a double cavity ultrasound and a bunch of tests in order to rule out everything they possibly could. Luckily, her heart, her liver, and her kidneys all seemed to be in great shape, though she is anemic, which is another symptom of Wet FIP. Besides that, she’s been eating great, going to the bathroom like normal, though she is a bit lethargic.

We have 4 other cats in the household, and we suspect one of them is a chronic FCoV shedder, Anya. We took her in about a year and a half ago. Prior to that, she was a stray cat for about 4 years and has had 2-3 litters. She is still extremely skittish and solitary, and hardly moves, though she is very food motivated. She hardly plays and has a fear of every toy we have shown her.  We suspect that she may be a chronic FCoV shedder because she always has had diarrhea/wet stool.

We have several concerns…: is it safe for Ash (FIP) and Anya (suspected chronic FCoV) to live together? Once Ash finishes treatment, can she safely live around Anya? Or, will Ash risk becoming infected with FIP again? Do cats with FIP gain a sort of immunity? Is there a treatment for Anya?

My parents are insistent that Ash has to be permanently segregated from the other cats to avoid risk of reinfection, but I believe that’s unnecessary. I’m also aware that Ash will shed FCoV as well. We have automatic litter boxes and we are currently getting automated pour-over water bowls to prevent the cats from drinking recycled saliva.

Please help!

TLDR; I have a cat with FIP and a cat with (suspected) chronic FCoV. Can they safely live together without a risk (or little risk) of reinfection (post FIP treatment).
