Feline Infectious Peritonitis

[texaskidney]

I am a Nephrologist in Houston, TX and have lost cats to FIP. 50% of my practice is renal tranplant medicine.So now my mission is to tract down treatments - past and current treatments, published and un-published attempts, faiIures and sucesses, word of mouth, conventional and unconventional. I came across you name (but not Dr. Sears) about a year ago -but I do not think the forum was smaller that this.

I see that people are using steroids - which is good as it treats that which kills the cat (at first) the vasculitis and that is immediately life-threatening. I imagine that there are different ways that steroids are be dose and tapered/ Some cats may be put into temporay remission in a month, some in 2 years. My main quesion is how do you know that you have treated the t cell depletion with the other agent that you use -like quinine, atabrine?

I have not read all the information on this site so I am going to go throught that material.

Hope to hear back from you. Julie Robeson MD

Hi Julie

Sorry to hear your having so many problems with the CATS!!! Yes there is some progress made with curing the dry FIP but only partial success with the wet version.

You can find me at caninedistempercure dot com on the google search engine and when you get there do register of which then you can see all the latest advancements on medical technology. Also you can make official contact to Dr. Sears the Emeritus himself.

hope to see you there.
