My cat has FIP. When is it time to say goodbye and how to comfort him?

Question

Hello Doctor. I've never been heartbroken in my entire life. My 8 month old cat has been diagnosed with FIP. Do you think it's better to put him down? If so how should I spend my last hours with him? And please provide me ways to comfort him. Thank you. Allie, 16, from Kuwait. Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Male | 7 months and 20 days old | 12 lbs

Hello Allie, i'm sorry to hear that. FIP is fatal, if he is very poorly then it is time to have him put down. if he is still eating you can try to give him some tuna , sardines or anything he might really like, then just stay with him and comfort him until you take him to the vet.
