Hi everyone,
I never thought I would be making a post like this, but I’m asking for help for my cat Cooper.
A few weeks ago, Cooper started acting different. he wasn’t eating as much, he was sleeping more than usual, and he stopped doing all the little things that made him seem like his self. After multiple vet visits, bloodwork, and testing, we received the news that Cooper has "Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP)"".
When I first heard the diagnosis I was devastated. For a long time FIP was considered almost always fatal, but thankfully there are now treatments available that can save cats like Cooper. The problem is that the treatment is extremely expensive and has to start as soon as possible for the best chance of success.
Cooper is more than just a pet to me. he has been there through some of the hardest times in my life. he follows me from room to room, sleeps next to me every night, and somehow always knows when I’m having a bad day. The thought of losing her is something I can barely handle.
The estimated cost of Cooper's treatment and care is around $7,000 and includes:
Initial emergency exams and diagnostic testing: $850
Bloodwork, ultrasound, and follow up testing: $1,100
84 day FIP antiviral treatment medication: $3,600
Regular monitoring appointments and lab work during treatment: $900
Supportive medications, fluids, and nutritional care: $550
Follow up evaluations after treatment: $400
I’ve already spent everything I can trying to get Cooper diagnosed and started on care. Asking for help is not easy for me, but Cooper deserves every chance possible. He still purrs when I pet him and curls up beside me every night, trusting me to take care of him.
