Thank you for all the input,

I forgot to mention his body weight so far is stable, around 3 kg, so still any chance to caught FIP? last time I had a negative FIP test screen for another cat, but in two weeks time it still died (fluid in the abdomen, liver, kidney normal, under 2 y.o). I heard the test kit not accurate, and if it's FIP, it means (still) no cure, no? I'm not being pessimist here, maybe just a lil desperate *knocking the head

oh and for stopping enro in cats, I will bear in my mind. thank you!

Likewise would be looking at possible FIP here.

Hi Zita

I think I would want to add an FeLV, FIP and FIV screen to your diagnostic tests. I would be highly suspicious of FIP based on the anterior uveitis you have described.

Also, can I strongly recommend that you avoid enrofloxacin in cats full stop. Some ill cats (compromised circulation etc) will go permanently blind even with the recommended doses.
