Bodhi Fights FIP

Bodhi Fights FIP This page documents Bodhi's journey as he fights FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis.) This is a dise We are not vets or have any medical training.

This is only our journey in treating FIP in hopes we can help someone else save their kitty from this horrible disease. Please share this page especially with your kitty loving friends, friends who have had a kitty with FIP and your vet friends. I kept a daily journal and have posted all those entries. Some posts have more than 1 day if the day was uneventful. I am not a FIP expert but will happily answer any questions about how or why I did certain things, etc.

One year ago today I had my 1st dose of the medicine that would save my life. Last year I had no interest in this thing the 2 leggeds call Christmas. This year however, I think Christmas is AWESOME! We have a tree in our living room. I live to lay under it and chew on the branches. Mom has lots of new stuff set out and I like to walk over all it and scare her into thinking I'm going to knock stuff off. And I am a pro at this wrapping paper stuff. Mom says I'm not quite the helper I think I am. Hard to believe a year ago I was fighting for my life and now I'm living my best life.

Its my Gotcha Day! Hard to believe that my family saved me twice! Once when they got me from the rescue and the 2nd time from FIP. I have tried my best to thank them by eating all the flies I catch. I even caught a chipmunk once and tried to give it to mom but she made me leave it outside and she let it go when she saw it was still alive. I spent today watching squirrels from my window, looking for chipmunks by their hidey holes and partaking in fun with my dog friends.

I LOVE exploring! I'm pretty sure that the chipmunks live in the neighbors bushes but no one was home today. I'm still thriving. Take that FIP!

Bodhi is sad because he has hidden his 2 favorite pompom balls and now he can't play fetch. None of these 22 are good enough. I told him he is lucky to be alive and shouldn't be so picky with his toys. He disagrees.

Healthy, handsome and clean! We have successfully kicked FIP's butt and we aren't looking back. I do sprinkle Proboost over his dry food (since he won't eat wet🤦‍♀️) to help boost his immune response.

Finally got into the vet to see about his low hematocrit levels. AND they were normal! Came up 5 points on their own in the last 10 days. We are going to do monthly checks for a bit just to monitor but vet didn't think it was parasite related anemia but chronic illness anemia.

Mom got me a harness because I love adventures. Yesterday I did not like it. Today I stood and waited til she fastened it and my motor was going...I'm so excited to go outside I could hardly contain myself! I found the hidey hole for my chipmunk friends and tried to play as they zoomed past me. Guess they didn't want to play.

Bad Cat Mom! I just went back through all my texts and noticed I missed one from my FIP admin. She asked if I had ever had him checked for mycoplasma (a blood parasite.) I missed it or I would have had it checked, and a dose of doxycycline would have fixed it. I have him scheduled for a vet visit so hopefully that's all it is and he will be 100%!

So the good news is Bodhi is considered cured of FIP. But now we have to figure out what is causing his low hematocrit.
