Urgent: Chloe's Life-Saving Treatment

Hello, my name is Nancy Camilli. I have never done this before, but was given the idea to try.

This is for my cat Chloe. We adopted her from a shelter in October. She was a healthy and very affectionate cat. We fell in love with her right away, and my nieces are very attached to her. She is about 2 years old. About 3 weeks after we got her, I noticed she was losing weight, had a pot belly, was urinating a lot, and had diarrhea. So I took her to the vet. They treated her for a parasite in the stomach, hoping that would help her. It did stop the diarrhea; however, the other symptoms still exist. She is now on an antibiotic and goes back on the 16th. They think she has FIP.

(Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a common and aberrant immune response in cats that have an infection with feline coronavirus (FCoV).)

The medication for this is very expensive. The middle of the price range is $1500.

The medication (GS-441524) is a compounded oral formulation that is now available in the United States for treating FIP in cats. It was developed in 2018 and has been shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials. It is available as injections and oral tablets.

I would love to be able to save her; however, this is out of my price range. That is why I am asking for help. If she does not get the medicine, this is very fatal. Please help if you can. Thank you.

UPDATE: On the 16th, Chloe went back to the vet for a check up. They put her on Insulin because her Glucose numbers are high. That medicine is a $150 a vial. I started the medication for FIP on the 17th. Chloe has gained .72 pounds in 11 days on this medication. She is also more active. She is not back to normal but is on the right track. I bought 10 vials of the medication (which hoping will be enough till the end or mid January. That was $400. I also spent around $140 on supplies she needs to administer the medication. Thank you to all the people that donated and/or shared this. Please keep sharing and donate if you can. She needs to take this for 84 days with clear bloodwork. As she gains, she will need more of this medication. For anyone who is leery. Please contact me and I can explain the whole situation and process. If I have any supplies or medication left after the 84 days and with clear bloodwork. I will donate it to another family that needs help. I will update as we go.

UPDATE: Update. Chloe has gained 1.4 pounds. They are doing pleased with her response to the medication. Since she is gaining that increases her dosage. I have two vials left of her first order. I will be putting in another order for supplies and medication. We are on day 24 and this treatment is at least 84 days. On top of FIP she is now a diabetic cat. Now she gets insulin shots 2 times a day. We just took her to the vet again yesterday. She has a yeast infection in her ears. She needed two shots and medication. We love her dearly and vow to help her get healthy and have a great life. If any one else would like help offset the price of the medication, it would be greatly appreciated

UPDATE:

She is steadily improving she weighs 7.99 lbs now up from 6.4 on Dec 18th. Her diabetes is slowly getting under control with medication and her drinking and peeing is not as bad Today we go for blood work to see how the FIP medication is working. I just ordered a second round of medication this week. As she gains weight her dosage goes up, so I have to order more. The donations are helping offset the cost of the medication. I want to thank everyone who has donated so far and re-donated Again thank you from the bottom of my heart. Chloe is improving slowly. I want to thank everyone who has donated. She is getting stronger, she has been making herself right at home. She is being becoming the boss of her area If she wants something and does not have it, she lets you know with a loud meow. Lol
