Seeking Veterinarian or Shelter to Test FIP Treatment

Posted By Junglecats (Costa Rica) on 08/01/2016

I care for a group of about 30 cats in rural Costa Rica. In 2014 I lost eight cats to what could be a highly mutagenic or highly virulent strain of FECV/FIP or FPV (I can send lab work, translation of necropsy, etc.). All the cats that I took to the vet died very quicky or had to be euthanised. I am treating more than 20 cats at home and they have all recovered very quickly, even a kitten and a three year old cat with agonal breathing. I am now looking for a shelter that can test this with kittens that present with diarrhoea, fevers, eye infections, etc., and with immuno-compromised cats as I believe that this treatment is somehow activating the bone marrow so that more haematopoietic cells are produced, or the thymus so that more lymphocytes or cytokines are produced.
