36. FIP is a horrible disease.

We've seen it many times in our rescue. Reading your post, I am so thankful that your vet (and your own research) has given you a good understanding of the disease. All that you write is correct. But so many people - even VETS - don't understand this disease and that leads to constant confusion about it, because, as you indicate, there is NO definitive test for it. Many vets throw out this diagnosis when they've exhausted all other possibilities.

I am so sorry for you and Mango. I'm sure you are familiar with the work of Dr. Diane Addy on FIP. If you've not visited her sight, I would suggest that you do.

Again - my heart breaks WITH you. But I thank you with all of my being for taking care of Mango. I wish you peace and comfort at this difficult time.
