Little Tiger recovers from severe Neuro FIP

This was the condition when we first discovered FIP.

Now, she’s energetic and lively—always running around and super affectionate.

Before the illness:
She often sat quietly by herself.
We thought she was just a calm cat.
After recovery, she now runs around nonstop and even plays “ping-pong,” sprinting back and forth at high speed.

These were the handwritten notes from the emergency vet

Hospital Recommendations

• Hospitalization

• 24–48 hours of seizure monitoring

• Abdominal ultrasound

• Consider MRI

• Neurology consultation

• Anesthesia (required for MRI)

• Referred to VS H / City U (hospital names)

Medication Options

Oral medication:

• Duration: 6–8 hours

• Long-acting, but takes a few days to become fully effective

Rectal medication:

• Fast-acting (1–2 minutes)

• Duration: 1–2 hours

When we first realized something was wrong, we rushed her to a 24-hour emergency clinic. The visit already cost several thousand dollars.
They then referred us to two designated hospitals for diagnostic tests that would cost around HKD 50,000–60,000.
They also said that these tests were only for diagnosis—they still couldn't tell us whether they could treat her afterward.

We spoke with Uncle Kit, and he advised us not to go through with those expensive tests.
We immediately brought our cat to his place, and she began an injection and medication treatment plan.

Her name is Little Tiger.
She was born on 15 April 2024, and around December 2024, she suddenly started trembling and having episodes like the ones shown in the video.
We recorded the episode and brought her straight to the 24-hour clinic.
