Please people. My kitten who turned 5 MONTHS today (August 3) may have FIP. FIP is a mutated virus that is terminal with no treatment options. I am taking him to a specialty clinic today for further testing. He has apparently been showing small symptoms for about 2 weeks (bad bathroom habits like not going in the cat box, light eating (I thought and was told its just because he's picky)). But, these symptoms are also found in a plethora of other diseases. So I'm going to have the Vet prescribe some antivirals and antibiotics JIC itt's not.
Please pray for him. If you don't believe in prayers, that's fine. But I do. So, if you could even do it insincerely I'd appreciate it. I'm a 34 year old, out of shape, Asian who has been crying for 4 days straight at this point. I haven't really eaten because I can't stomach anything knowing he's not well. He is sitting at my legs at work as I type this. I need as many prayers as I can get for him Not me. Pray for my kitten named LOKi (spelled that way intentionally because its (L)ittle (O)range (Ki)tten)

As an update/rant:
I've gone to 3 different vets since his ER visit to see if the diagnosis was correct. 2 of them refused to do any testing beyond the initial protein count in the fluids. 1 is sending out the fluid to labs for further review.
They all believe it to be FIP. I believe it to be some kind of poisoning because my fiancee likes to use 100% pure tea tree oil on her feet. I only found out two days ago how TOXIC it is and how it can lead to pnemonia in the lungs and ascites in the abdomen. The last vet disagrees.
I've spent my nearly 2K on trying to find out whats wrong with him bc FIP is a disease that cannot be tested for. It's a mutation from the coronoavirus and they keep saying that the onyl real test they could do is test for the coronoa virus which they have not. They all assume he has hte coronoavirus. But they are sending his blood work and his fluids out for further testing to see if ti could be anything else.
There are days he looks great, and days where he's so sleepy. He just wants to be around people so he is here with me at work today sleeping on my lap as I write this and fight off tears.
