I am so sorry to hear about your cat.
I lost a cat a few years back to FIP and it was not easy
First of all you need to diagnosed if your cat is suffering from FIP.
Get a blood test done for RM60.00
You can get the results within 20 minutes.
Then the Vet will advise you what to do and what medication can be given to prolonge your cats life.
Remember, there is no cure for FIP only medication to boost up its immune system and make it stronger to fight the virus.
There is no guarantee that your cat will survive but there had been cases whereby cats with FIP had lived for a few years.
Also, cats with FIP cannot be mixed with other cats so you have to make sure that the other cats are being isolated from this sick one.
No sharing of food, water and litter box.
Disinfect your house with clorex diluted in water so that the virus germs can be killed.
Also make sure that the cat with FIP is not stressed as stress will make it even more sick.
If you want you can also try transfer factor but its very expensive and not sure if you are willing to give it a try or not.
Good Luck and be strong!
