So very sorry to hear this, but again, I ask, are they SURE it was FIP? If indeed it is, then the shelter you got Orion from is likely infected with it at as well and every cat in there would likely have it. It's a VERY contagious disease, but also is misdiagnosed because positive tests don't mean 100% that the cat HAS it.
