Dansk:

Tjalfe er min bedsteven. Han fungerer som ESA (emotional support animal).

Tjalfe har fået konstateret neurologisk FIP og siden behandlingen endnu ikke at godkendt i Danmark, er vi nødt til at stå for det hele selv. Han har svært ved at bruge sine bagben, slingrer rundt når han forsøger at gå, virker meget nedtrykt og nægter at spise særlig meget. Vi vil sammen med få andre gerne kæmpe for at behandlingen kommer til Danmark og kan hjælpe de mange katte der bliver ramt af FIP hvert år. Som det ser ud med dyrlægerne nu, er FIP en dødsdom medmindre men i Sverige er der en sucessrate på 89% med denne behandling.

Håbet er, at hvis nok katte viser sig at blive helbredt af behandlingen, vil den komme til Danmark og blive tilgængelig for alle.

English:

Tjalfe is my bestfriend and also functions as an ESA (emotinal support animal).

Tjalfe has been diagnosed with dry (neurological) FIP and since the treatment has not been approved in Denmark yet, we have to cover all expenses ourself and do the treatment at home. Tjalfe has gotten really sick. He has a hard time using his rear legs, has a progressive loss of balance and coordination, has no appetite and seems very depressed.

We and a few others want to fight for the treatment to be approved in Denmark, it would help thousands of cats getting the diagnosis every year. As it is now, the vets will call it a deathsentence to get this diagnosis, but in Sweden there is a 89%

sucess rate with this treatment.

We hope that if enough cats in Denmark gets the treatment and recover, it'll eventually become approved and a natural part of the medical world.
