#catfip

Please reblog this as much as you can! 

Hello everyone,

This handsome boy is my 6 year old cat Pixel/ 

Pixel has been suffering from fever, complete loss of appetite and weightloss.

Todat he has been diagnosed with FIP.

As some of you may know, FIP is a deadly disease for cats. But it recently got a cure. Albeit a very expensive cure. 

Because the big pharma company who has the patent for this medication didn’t approve for this medicine to be used in veterinary care, the prices stay high and insurance won’t come between us to help out in the costs. 

The cure exists out of 84 injections, one injection per day for a period of about 12 weeks. A vial costs 59 euros.  Depending on how severe Pixel FIP is (I will know more tomorrow) I can get about 1-3 injections out of one vial. The injections hurt a lot, so I will need painkiller. He still has a loss of appetite, so I will need a appetite booster and maybe some Vitamin B12 to get him going. Add two times bloodwork to it and I am looking it at an estimate of around 2000-3500 euros, maybe even higher. 

So here I am, asking you all for help. 

I set up a gofundme page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-pixel-beat-fip

If you can help, please do. Every little bit is a blessing and will help tremendously. 

If you can’t help, that’s okay. Just reblog this as much as you can so I can reach as many people possible.

Thank you and with kind regards,

Update day 17/84

Hey Folks!

Completely forgot to do a recent update.

Pixel is doing well. We are almost one fourth in the treatment plan at day 17.

He is enjoying food again, playing with our other cat. In general having more energy. You should see how effortlessly he does the stairs again 😍

He hates the injections though they hurt and at 2 o clock he knows what time it is. Trying to gather his skin to put the needle in is becoming more difficult cause he tenses up and that makes it difficult to get enough skin to put the needle in properly.

We are contemplating to change over to the tablets at the 6 week mark, but they make the entire treatment even more expensive. So we are going to see what that gives the closer we get to that 42 day marker.

Because the injections hurt and he doesn't want to get them he can lash out. There isn't an option of not giving him that injection but you have to make your heart a stone. You just feel so bad that he has to suffer through this. But we make do.

So far we reached half of the necessary costs to pay for the treatment. Which just blows me away. But this doesn't account for changes in the treatment plan like tablets or a relapse so any help is still very welcome!

THIS!! IS!! HUGE!!  Please share and cross post!
