We have decided to go with Free Cat for treatment total treatment is $3,108. We are currently seeking help for the first 2 weeks of treatment, as well as subcutaneous fluids & A/D, to gauge Loki's health and reaction, as well as have time to gather the remaining fees. More information below.
LOKI'S DIAGNOSIS:
Loki was taken into the vet about 2 weeks ago for a checkup because he had some pain in his teeth. They said it definitely looked like he needed teeth cleaning. We scheduled him for Thursday of that week- two days later. As I had previously posted, they noticed he had serious infections of fourth teeth and removed them. He is almost 3 years old, so I was surprised this would happen so young. No big deal, he had the teeth removed and was sent home with oral antibiotics(2x daily) and pain medication(once daily).
For three days we gave him his medication and he fought us tremendously on it as most cats do, but I was super worried because it was stressing him out, and he started refusing to eat. We took him in as soon as we noticed he wouldn’t eat anymore.
The vet's sort of shrugged it off, mentioned he was just scared of us trying to give him medication, his weight was still similar, and he was probably sneaking out from under the bed at night to eat. That didn’t seem right because I actually never physically saw him move. They told us to stop the oral medication and would instead give him injections of pain and antibiotics.
I figured the first day of shots he would be out of it, but he never really seemed to come to. It was unreal how out of it he was and he wouldn’t respond to much.
I tried for an entire day to get him to actually eat, and he wouldn’t. Not ciao packets, not wet food, not dry food, not treats. During that day he sat, facing the bookshelf and didn’t move. His eyes were sunken in, you could feel his skull, hips, and spine and his belly was bloated.
We went to the vet yesterday afternoon(09/05/2020) and when we told them everything we knew of and were asked if we wanted ultrasounds and bloodwork done. I said yes, thinking that maybe he just needed to be syringe/tube-fed, as I didn’t realize prior to tooth extractions that cats can and will starve themself.
What was supposed to take 30 minutes took 2 hours. When we picked him up, they told us with all of his symptoms, it is likely he has developed wet FIP. They pulled a yellow/orange like fluid from his abdomen, and we weren’t given very much advice. The vet technician said in all of his 10 years with America and Okinawa, he had only seen it 3 times, with Loki included. I was extremely frightened and even more so with looking it up.
I’m in tears and I don’t know what to do. I researched for hours last night and originally found a supplement called Mutian.
(It’s helped hundreds of cats already to get into remission, but I need help on what to do next. It is an 84 day treatment plan, at $72 per day. Totaling to $6,048.
Loki is 4.3kg with suspected Wet FIP, he was quoted at needing 450mg per day of Mutian.

This carries a guarantee past the 84 day window, HOWEVER, we did find another supplement of GS-441524, that does not carry the past 84 day guarantee, but is much more attainable and affordable. This one is called Free Cat.

With Loki's weight, I was quoted at 2.15ml per day for 84 days. That puts us at $3,108 instead.
We are asking for help the first two weeks of his dosage, and will go/purchase/fundraise as necessary. At this moment, we are applying for care credit, and through our personal bank Navy Federal, but cannot get ahold of either credit company until Tuesday due to Labor Day weekend.
The sooner we start his medication, the better. I have a gracious friend/client who has offered their off base address in order to get the medication to us quicker (The medication ships from Hong Kong).
Any and all help is extremely appreciated. Donations and sharing mean the absolute world to us, as time is of the essence with Wet FIP.
We originally had a savings account for our cats, but have expended it on his surgeries and tests.
I will attach all our veterinarians phone number - we are located in Okinawa Japan, so they have limited English speaking staff. George is the primary vet tech on our case. I will also attach all photos we have pertaining to this situation.
