My 7 yearold cat is having trouble with her bladder or kidneys..She has to urinate all the time and there is blood in it...She smells real bad..She stays wet...
It's really difficult to guess at a problem like this without seeing the patients. Much might depend on when/if any of the pups had been vaccinated since...
Such unresponsvie cases need a thorough work-up... starting with routine x-rays and ultrasounds of the urogenital system and then percutaneous urine ...
Very difficult to do. Dry FIP restricted to the brain is an almost impossible diagnostic confirmation by any test. Indeed FIP generally can be very hard to...
High blood glucose is damaging to the islet cells and can deteriorate diabetic states more. You get a lot of interrelationships with electrolyte partitioning...

Hi, one of my cats TOBY began vomiting non stop, in the last 2 days. he has now being diagonised with kidney failure and the vet says 80% of his kidneys is...
Thank you Dr. Peter. Toxo titers were requested approx. 6 to 7 days after the neurological signs appeared. This is the result of the lab report: IgM (IF):...
Non-effusive (“dry”) FIP profile FCoV antibody titre FCoV antibody titres in dry FIP are usually equal to or greater than 1280. An antibody titre of zero...
Hills also market k/d for renal problems. Either company's helplines should be able to point you to distibutors in other countries. Prognosis depends on...
She has been stable for 3 days. Her food and activity level doesn't change and yet there are the highs (more sugar in her urine) in which she seems to feel...
Thank you Michelle. I already consulted Dr. Addie's websiite. Unfortunately the kiten's symptoms and blood panel are not conclusive enough to be sure of the...
There is no doubt about Dr Addie's provenance in this field but focal neuro FIP can defy most testing to 'confirm'... a similar problem to toxo testing further...
Hi Marleen, Diane will usually respond to vets or similar.. About 3 years ago She helped by answering questions for me reg Fcov and titre tests..., IM not a...
Our regular vet didn't repeat the toxo tests as she was convinced that our Birman kitten Oscar had dry FIP. When she received the result of the Fcov titer she...
remember that a urine value reflects what has been happening over the last several hours as an average whereas blood values are a current window Peter G Knapp...
Dr. Knapp. I wrote you a while back about WHS in hedgehogs. You referred me to an article written by Tig Means who has been fighting the hedgehog community...
..thanks for the heads-up... UK it's mostly wild hedgies and I've not seen any non-wild-rescue pets here... Peter G Knapp MRCVS Parkside Veterinary Centre 61...

vaccine technology is based on having way more antigen per dose to maximise responses even in less responsive patients and merely doubling that dose is very...
Thank you Michelle. The kitten's FCoV antibody titre is 640 (so less than 1280) and thus considered as negative. However the PCR test on blood was positive for...
She isn't always that way. It is up and down. Some mornings she is standing on my chest wanting me to get up and then she is under the bed and looks so ...
You need to go back and think about the two very important points made by Dr. Knapp in his replies to you- The glucose readings you're getting from urine are...
The neurological symptoms started after a severe constipation (4-5 days) due to digesting clumping clay litter. Could these have triggered toxo, FIP or another...
theoretically anything that makes you unwell and reduces immunity can allow a stable carrier state to decompensate. However consider a bit of lateral ...
That's what crossed our mind as well but our local vet and the veterinary clinic (where we went for a second opinion) didn't pay much attention to it. Our...
I was wondering what would be a good technique to use to help a vet examine my cat Lucy who is very difficult to handle at the vets. Lucy has been limping the...
