As I suspected, this is NOT distemper (TYG!)Jedi is actively shedding the feline coronavirus (or cat flu). The bad part about the coronavirus is it can mutate in a small percentage of cases into FIP. So, she has been put on Flagyll the Baytril is discontinued and she is on a special diet food IAMS Intestional Sensitivity both wet and dry.

The coronavirus is something that all cats come across every day, but some cats don’t have the resistance to the virus and that is what she needs to do. Build up a resistance to it. I have her in a trimline collar to keep her from cleaning her back end- and will just keep on cleaning her cage every time she messes in it. I was up with her all night last night because it just endlessly kept pumping out of her rear. It was like her rectum has a mind of its own at the moment.

It is a self-limiting diarrhea so really nothing will stop it. It will resolve on its own (although this is her 12th day with it) Thankfully she is drinking a lot of water so fluids aren’t necessary.

Here’s hoping this virus won’t mutate and weaken her and turn into FIP- that would be dreadful.
