I know I hate when this thread gets bumped, but I wanted to post a little tribute.
My wife and I adopted Mojo 3 years ago and sadly had to put him down today. Suddenly lost his appetite and was lethargic last week, so we took him in and got him on antibiotics and an appetite stimulant. He had a significant fever.
He was doing better for a couple days, but then stopped eating entirely despite appearing interested in food. Took him to emerg today and his fever was still present, which it definitely shouldn't have been so they x-rayed him as well.
They found a lot of fluid in his abdomen, which along with everything else pointed to the "wet" version of FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), which sounds like the worst random disease a cat can get.
My wife is especially devastated as she's never gone through this before with a pet. He was only 5 sadly.
