Meezer Mom Here:
The v-e-t called with the news that Miles has elevated FIP and Toxoplasmosis titers and needs to be re-tested to see if he is actively infected, or has just built up anti-bodies. I don't know if the FIP being 1 in 120 is good or bad. I am scared to death that he might have FIP and that I will lose him. His toxoplasmosis titers were much higher than the FIP, but that can be treated successfully. Please pray that his levels will not change and it's just a build up of antibodies and not an active infection.

I just went and checked out the Cornell Vet website and here is what they said:
The KELA, ELISA, IFA, and virus-neutralization tests detect the presence of coronavirus antibodies in a cat. A positive test result only means the cat has had a prior exposure to a coronavirus -- not necessarily one that causes FIP -- and has developed antibodies against that virus. If the test is negative, it means the cat has not been exposed to a coronavirus.
The number, or titer, that is reported is the highest serum dilution that still produced a positive reaction. Low titers indicate a small amount of coronavirus antibodies in the serum, while high titers indicate greater amounts of antibodies. A healthy cat with a high titer is not necessarily more likely to develop FIP or be a carrier of an FIP-causing coronavirus than a cat with a low titer. It also is not necessarily protected against future FIP virus infection.
Recently, two new tests have been developed that can detect parts of the virus itself. The immunoperoxidase test can diagnose FIP more accurately than traditional histopathologic examination because it detects virus-infected cells in the tissue. A biopsy of affected tissue is necessary for evaluation. Another antigen test utilizes polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect viral genetic material in tissue or body fluid. Although this test shows promise, PCR is presently only capable of detecting coronaviruses in general, not necessarily those that cause FIP.
We will continue to pray that all this test means is that Miles was exposed, and not that he has FIP.
Oh Miles feel better, we are all worried about you too.
Abby, Boo, Ping, Jinx, Gracie
and Mom Debra
Oh no! I hope Miles doesn't have FIP and that he only has the antibodies.
I am keeping Miles in my prayers and sending lots of healing purrs his way.
Oh no, we will keep up our praying and purring for Miles and hope that there is not any active infection. Our paws are crossed too.
Purrrrrrs, China Cat & Willow
I am praying really hard that Miles just has a bunch of antibodies left over from his ear infection.
Oh poor Meezer Mom.
I think that you can take Miles' reaction of feeling better after having the Antibiotics as a good one and that perhaps this was just an build up.
We (DD & I) will keep Miles in our prayers. You need your ham eater.
You better get better, Miles! The Cat Blogosphere has already reached its quota of Bridge kitties this month.
Seriously, sending healing purrss to Miles, and headbonks to Sammy and the rest of the family.

That is super scary news ... I don't know what any of that means, 'cept I heard that toxoplasmosis had something to do with litterboxes and tampons! Being a spayed cat, I have no need for tampons (thank goodness) ... but litterboxes are necessities.
Please keep us informed 'bout Miles. We're purrin' and purrayin' for him to get better.
