Nina

We adopted a kitten on January 2019 in Colombia, she was a little bit clumsy but full of love and energy, we named her Nina. When she was almost 1 year old we started to notice that she would stumble when she was playing with her big brother, Gato, a 9 year old french cat. She then had an appointment with her vet, but for him everything was structurally fine. On september 2020 Gato started to vomit so he went to the vet and stayed there for 2 days. Nina adores Gato, she loves him so that the same day Gato came back home, she had a very stressful moment and started vomiting. The two of them went back to the vet and stayed there for 2 weeks, Gato got better but Nina didn't. The doctors started to suspect a dry FIP in both of them so we tested them. Both of them came back positive with a very high amount of antibodies for feline coronavirus. At this moment we thought we were going to lose both of them, it was the saddest day in my entire life. Fortunately my husband found this group. We decided to invest in the health of our little Nina and the group contacted us with a person that supplied us during the entire treatment from Europe to Colombia. when the first dose arrived to Colombia we injected Nina with a 7 mg dosis, she wasn't eating, bathing or doing anything normally, she couldn't even pee inside the litter and she pooped her legs and tail, she was so fragile. The day after the first injection she was demanding food, she started to wash herself and she even jumped from a table to the floor, it was a MIRACLE. During the first moth we had to adjust the dosage going from 7 mgto 10 mg because she continued to present some fever at night. After that adjustment she started to be immediately fine, the fevers stopped and she started to develop new catlike behavior that she never had. She started to mark our apartment with her tail and face hormones, she stopped being clumsy and the most amazing of all is that she started to grow. She finished her treatment the 31st of december 2020, just as if life told us to leave behind this bad memory and start a new clean sheet of our family life with Nina and Gato. Since then we went to the vet for her first "graduate" blood test and appointment and everything is perfect. Gato is now 10, he recovered without the use of the antivirals so we think it was just gastritis. We are happy with the both of them playing, fighting and enjoying life together.
