Dry FIP Kitten Treatment

My name is Zach. I rescued Felix from a veterinary clinic that found him roaming around outside. They immediately determined that his kidney was larger than normal as evidenced by an ultrasound, and he was anemic after running some bloodwork. His packed cell volume was 16%, and he should be at 25% to 28%. Five veterinarians looked at him and did not have an answer for me, including three specialists. I then did ten hours of research on my own to come up with dry FIP as a potential diagnosis. I contacted several universities and was able to procure the experimental drugs used to treat FIP.

He is on day 18 of 84 for his treatment regimen. He is to receive an injection every single day for 84 days to reverse the FIP along with a weekly b12 injection to combat the anemia. We threw on doxycycline for 30 days to rule out feline infectious anemia since you sometimes will see that with dry fip diagnoses. 

He has gone from 3.4 pounds to 5.2 pounds in under two weeks, his anemia has reversed, his pale gums are no longer pale, and his fever of 106 is now back to normal. Kidney size now normal. His entire treatment cost is going to be $2000 (more than expected due to unprecedented weight gain). All of this information is being gathered as a case study so that I can help the momentum to fund an FDA approved treatment. While not directly involved in the trials, all of this information is being sent to the pathologists who guided me on his treatment plan. 

I have raised $900 of the $2000.  Grants typically won't fund a novel and experimental treatment in most cases.
