Re: can anybody help.

There is a blood test they can do for FIP. I can not remember what it is exactly but there are 2 things they look for in the test that need to be in certain proportions. If that test is positive then FIP is a reasonable diagnosis. I would get your vet to speak to someone at Glasgow University. I think that's where the blood samples get sent for testing, but they should be able to tell your vet more.

FIP has symptoms that look like a myrriad of other things, and seems to always be vets knee jerk diagnosis. It does sound promising that your baby is responding to the treatment she is on though. For peace of mind I would push the vet to find out more.
