I got a call from the woman who runs the rescue group that I volunteer for
that one of the cats we adopted out 2 weeks ago (approx. 2 yr old) was
diagnosed with FIP and had to be euthanized this week. There were a number
of cats and kittens rescued from the same location. Two of the kittens have
very distended tummies. They were bottle fed (only about a week old when
they were found and nobody knows what happened to the mother).

They saw the vet at PetSmart today and had a fecal done - it came back
negative for parasites. Two weeks ago they had watery diarrhea. However with
a change in diet the stools have become firmer and are now the consistency
of toothpaste with light brown color and a rank odor - still not great but
an improvement.

The kittens are eating well and are very playful and behaving as one would
expect an 8 - 10 week old kitten to behave. Is there something other than
FIP that could cause the distended stomach?

They are going to see the regular vet ASAP.
