Hello ~kaeli~,

Thanks for pointing out the vet-newsgroup, I posted my question there.
Yes, he was tested for FELV and FIV as well, and test results came
back negative. I'm not sure about diabetes, I'd have to check. Without
wanting to get my friend's hopes up, I'll suggest she get a second
opinion. Thanks for your suggestion and your response.


Yvonne.


You're welcome.

Vets, and human doctors, can't possibly know everything. That's why it's
so important to get second and even third opinions when a cat gets
really sick.

Please see the links below for more detailed (and very recent) FIP info.
Sites include which tests the cat should get to confirm diagnosis.
