Cat with FIP -- alternative medical treatment ideas?

Question

I have 3 kittens with FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis).

I am looking into alternative treatments. I am NOT interested in conventional veterinary (lack of) treatments soooo..if you have heard of alternative medicine treatments for FIP, pls tell me what they are and where you heard of them, and if possible, websites for ALTERNATIVE treatments for FIP.

Also, I am aware of a homeopathy alternative for FIP

*but* I am not into homeopathy. I want herbs/supplements that have a direct effect. I don't believe in Bach Flower remedies either.

I have learned that some alt. med. treatments for humans are poisonous to cats, like garlic and olives, so pls tell me exactly the source of where you got your idea for alternative FIP treatment.

Right now I am trying the ideas discussed in the above website--that an imbalance in the immune system can be corrected and will cure FIP.

Answer 1

All I can say is, if you find something that works, God bless you. FIP is incurable. I was a veterinary technician/Internal Medicine technician for 13 years. The Internist I worked for was not an Alternative Medicine vet, HOWEVER, she had books on Alternative remedies, and would try alternatives when available. She would also refer to Veterinary   Alternative Medicine practitioners. There was only one within 250 miles of us at the time.

Just realize that those kittens cannot come into contact with any other cats.

Good luck.

Hello, I know that AnimalTalk has great results with animals

AnimalTalk is the equivalent for animals of BodyTalk, which is great at addressing the underlying causes of illnesses

There is a specific technique that may be part of an AnimalTalk session, called Body Chemistry and it addresses specifically viruses and bacteria

Check out an AnimalTalk practitioner near you: http://www.bodytalksystem.com/bodytalk/s...

on this page you can find the seminars, but if you click on the name of an instructor you can get further infomation on AnimalTalk, on a distance session or you can ask them if there is a practitioner near you

Best wishes and please keep me informed

thank you

Peritonitis is an emergency situation in human beings.  Is this not so of kittens?  I am not a vet.  If it is an emergency, that is to me, a pretty sure sign to do EXACTLY as your vet says.  The word infectious also implies that it is at the very least communicable to other cats, if not to other species of animals as well.  When you are dealing with an emergency situation, and what I think is a highly communicable situation as well, that is the time for emergency care, NOT Alt. Med. and I am saying this to you as one of the biggest supporters and proponents of Alt. Med, and one of the biggest critics of allopathy on these boards.  There is a time for everything under the heavens, and this includes taking the baby kitties to someone who can potentially save their lives.
