My cat has FIP, isn't eating, and has fluid in chest. What can I do?

Question

Hello, I have a cat(female) 6months old she is suffering from FIP. What can I do to cure her? She is not eating food. So I am giving drips to her from a nearby vet hospital is that okay? She also had an x-ray on 09.04.2019 where vet found fluid in her chest. Please can you assist me with good cure. Pet's info: Cat | Asian | Female

Unfortunately FIP is fatal in 95% of cases. In mild cases of the dry form, it may be possible to prolong the survival period, but most cats with the wet form of the disease die within two months of the onset of signs. Given that Cleo had fluid in her chest, I suspect she has the wet form. The best you can do is give her supportive treatment with the vet, but if she's not eating, it may be time to let her go. I'm so sorry.
