Jeez Shar - you had me feeling left out as to the Thursday thing - "oh dear - maybe they were going to chatting somewhere" - isn't it pathetic that I'm capable of feeling left out in circumstances like that!?
Oh Alli - what a horrible week for you!!! In the summer Jay's little cat died from what they felt was FIP also. The vet kept insisting that I force-feed her just in case she could pull through....that otherwise she'd get fatty liver disease from not getting enough food. I was feeding her with an eyedropper (force-feeding, I might say) & it was AWFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. She'd eat what I pushed into her mouth & then look at me mournfully & eventually weakly put her little paw up to push away my hand - I get teary just thinking about it. She was a cat who loved to go outside & during her long illness, she'd lie out the front in the sun. I felt so mean force-feeding her, but I was "working" with my own vet & another one who does homeopathic medicine & has been very successful. So force-feed I did. BUT even now I feel awful. Part of me wanted to just let Kali be in peace. It still hurts alot & I feel guilty.
Alli that's a LOT to go through at all & to have it telescoped into one week is awful.
(((((((((((((((((((((you)))))))))))))))))))))))))
Hugs to you both, Kath
