Meet Ebby Age: 9 years old Breed: Scottish Fold Diagnosis: Effusive (wet) form I’ve had Ebby for just about three years now, after adopting her at age 8. Her FIP journey began subtly, with symptoms that were easy to dismiss — until they weren’t. It started this past winter when I noticed small changes: a slightly odd gait, not getting…

Meet Louis Age: 8.5 months Breed: British Shorthair Diagnosis: Effusive (wet) form Our little boy Louis gradually became less playful and started eating only tiny amounts of food.
