Sky - the recovery story
Today we can introduce you to another FIP winner. It's little Sky. We also got a nice story of the cat parents.
Hello, I'm little Sky. I've been living with my wonderful human family for 1 1/4 years, who quickly closed me into their hearts. It was love at first sight 😻. At first, I was very well, I raged, played, flashed through the whole house; over table and benches, enjoyed daily running out on a leash. About half a year, it suddenly started. I was having recurring diarrhea and I didn't gain enough weight either. Coronavirus has been diagnosed through blood tests. However, with various medications and dietary changes, I couldn't fight the viruses. I was getting worse and worse. My personality had changed completely I became powerless, tired and didn't want to mess around like my family used to. They were really worried about me Anorexia and weight loss added. I only weighed 2,5 kg.
Again I had to go to the vet constantly. I had to get blood, vomit, and X-rays done to the ultrasound. FIP diagnosis. In the middle of the house construction, already considerable veterinary costs and then this life-threatening disease. The world came crashing down for my little family. They got on the phone with my foster mom who has been with us since day 1, shared this terrible news with her. We were all devastated on the floor. I, the smallest of the litter, should I leave my beloved family alone because of this virus FIP? My rescue came the very next day. As you may know, there are therapy options. Unfortunately, only with medicines not approved in Germany. My foster mom got us this expensive therapy.
She spoke courage and support to my family. Full of enthusiasm and motivation, they faced the disease and gave me a second chance. The foster mom made contacts, where the necessary medicines (tablets) were delivered via Udo and the other to Angelika, who helped us monitor and evaluate the regular blood tests. I mastered the pill intake with bravour, every evening a spoonful of liverwurst. After the first intake of the pill, I felt better the next day. Like a miracle. I had an appetite, wanted to play and also my daily walks were fun again. It quickly showed on the scale that I was on the road to recovery. First blood work after 4 weeks was overwhelming. Everyone was excitedly waiting for the result with me. With success 👍🏻
My family and I were or are so happy that we took that step. Udo, Angelika, my foster mom and friends supported us throughout the therapy process. Several blood tests followed and after completing medication (84 days) my condition remains stable. In the meantime, I have become a big, strong (5kg) cat. I thank my human family very much with daily cuddling units.
I hope that with my story I could speak courage and fighting spirit to other cat families.
We would like to thank Betti for this great story
We wish sky a long and healthy life
