Hello! I'm afraid that its quite difficult to know how long your kitten will live, without knowing what is wrong. What is causing the swollen stomach, for example? If it's just worms, that can often be treated. If it's fluid, eg due to ascites from heart disease or peritonitis, or a swollen organ, this implies some far more serious disease process in play. Does the kitten definitely have feline Panleukopenia? - Do bloods and testing back that up? These details are quite important. It sounds as though you and the vets have done a good job of helping the kitten to feel better in the short term, but the long-term prognosis depends on what is going on in this indivudual cat. Good questions for your vet include, how many differential (possible) diagnoses are there for this kitten? Is FIP a definite diagnosis? What would you do if this was your kitten?
