“In the dry (“noneffusive”) form, there is little if any fluid accumulation. Instead, cats with this form of the disease may have clinical signs typically associated with impairment affecting an internal organ or system, such as kidney or liver failure, neurologic dysfunction, and ocular disease. ”

Quatloo?

I think Quatloo has FIP/coronavirus, and gave it to Rico, Rico developed the Wet form and died, Quatloo is just a carrier.

Oh my god

She has all of those things.

That should mean it’s mutated in her, though. Shouldn’t she be dead?

Cats can go into remission if they have the dry form and are lucky.
anteater blue, [26.10.15 11:40]
But they’re still carriers.

Lucky.

The ophthalmologist thought it was genetic, but maybe he just wasn’t considering this possibility. Maybe you can’t tell the difference.

This is an extremely rare scenario.

Cats usually get FIP around or before age 2.

Or while elderly.

Not at 6.

So it’s possible that it mutated in Quatloo and then transferred to Rico?
anteater blue, [26.10.15 11:46]
Yes. That’s my conclusion.
