Two days ago my girl was confirmed FIV+ so im trying to find out all the info i need. I have a friend who lost a cat at 5yo to FIP. My girl is very healthy and happy but she lived 10 years as a stray who got spayed much later in life. Im hoping to change habits for her and figure out keys to have her live many more years to come ❤ thank you for making this video ❤
I have a fiv boy. He’s 17 now. There are no special requirements. He and I have another cat who is negative and a puppy. If you walk your cat please know that there are infections from other cats left on the grass, earth etc. Bud had a respiratory infection three years ago he hasn’t been able to fully recover from. His breathing is shallow. He gets a monthly shot for arthritis. That shot is because he’s old. Otherwise it really does determine the cat and care. I had a healthy cat who died of kidney failure a year old.
We recently rescued a neighborhood cat who basically adopted us. 😊I took him to the vet to get checked out and gound he tested positive for FIV. He has pink eye often but don't really see any other symptoms. He has some supplements I put in his food and I give him eye drops whenever he has flare ups. Our other cat is FIV negative and has been with us since he was a tiny kitten. They don't really get close enough to fight because they've both pretty good about guarding their "personal space". So, we try to keep it quiet around our house so everyone gets along. Domino is a super friendly lovey-dovey cat. We're fairly he was someone's cat at some point because he's litter trained loves being around people.
my cat was misdiagnosed as having stomatitis, he has a bad case of periodontal disease. every 6 months he has to get his blood tested. he also cant digest a lot of food, so we have give him chicken. they first found him with a big gash mark on his left side of his face/ear. he is a gr8 cat. He acts like a dog, I swear he wags his tail when he happy and very vocal/active. the vet said he needs to loose like 5 pounds. he is 14 pounds, he always been heavy.
your cat is lucky to have you 🤍
awww thank you for the kind comment :')
On a more serious note, thank you so much for the videos you make, as a student vet its so inspiring to me to see your journey from being in vet school to now being a vet as well as the important information you share. Such a gift!🥺💗
aww thank you so much, it means a lot :')
Hello, thankyou for the video🙏🏻❤️
Im sorry that my english is not really good,
my cat just diagnosed with FIV too😭
she usually loves to eat, but now she don’t want to eat anything😭
it’s so heartbreaking to see bcs she panting heavily, coughing almost all the time, and she don’t even have energy to do anything.
(Even the vet says there’s no hope anymore) but im not giving up on her😭💪🏻
so thankyou so much for the inspiring video, i hope she can survive too😭🙏🏻❤️
¡ Muchas gracias ! Sweet Keith ! I love my FIV cat !
Thank you for sharing Keith’s story! I just rescued an FIV+ cat, so this video was super helpful. 😸 May I ask what food Keith eats?
Great video, keep it up!
Hi, my cat just diagnosed with FIV, he loose appetite and now he caught flu and in his medication. My question is, what should I give to feed him ? The appetite stimulant that his vet gave doesn't seem work, my cat almost going off his food all the time. He loose almost 1 kg in weight and his furr are fall down in large amount. I'm so sad
My FIP Warrior just tirned 1 year old.🎉 He is on 84day watch period after 98 days of treatment. He's been throwing up the past 2 days and I don't know why.
If I work in a pet store should i put it in animal experience or work experience?
Thank you for your video. Can you give me more some advice plz? Should I vaccinate my positive Fiv cat? And then spay her?
You keep saying throughout the video that FIV+ cats should ideally live in single cat homes, but wouldn't it also be ok to have multiple FIV+ cats?
I came here as soon as I heard. Thank you for this 😭
hi my fiv + cats love freeze dried raw and air dried raw food which i have currently stop feeding them. do u have any treats out there that are safe for FIV cats. which brand name of kibbles and treats that is ok ? and is it true that they cant consume any raw food including freeze or air dried food?
Hey there :) so the thing is with FIV cats we just need to be careful with their immune system more than a normal cat, and feeding raw has the risks of potential bacterial infection which can make cats poorly. I fed Keith a mixture of Purina dry food and Felix wet food and he loves the combination, with some dreamies or lick e lix very occasionally as treats, hope this helps!
Can my FIV cat live with other cats if they have no teeth??
it spreads via deep bite wounds without teeth is very low chance not zero chance but but yeah
Our 10 y/o cat started vomiting his food intermittently about 7 months ago. It progressed to him vomiting pretty much every time he ate. After some blood work our vet just told us he was FIV positive. He has lost about 3 and 1/2 lb, and I feel terrible because every time he eats he vomits. I've tried sensitive stomach cat food, and even making cat food mixed with milk so it is a slurry. He seems a bit distressed most of the time, and he sleeps a lot more than he used to. I hate seeing him suffer, but there are times he is happy and purrs when being petted. My question is, when should I consider euthanasia?
Hey I’m really sorry to hear this, it’s not nice that he keeps vomiting and I can’t advice you without seeing him personally, but when it comes to euthanasia sometimes I provide this questionnaire to help pet parents have a measure of quality of life, and ultimately we don’t want our pets to be suffering vetsocialwork.utk.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Quality-of-Life.pdf please contact your local vet to have this discussion in case to rule out other causes of vomiting and to make a plan for him 🥺 hope you take care 🙏
@@MayYean I apologize for the delay, but I want to say thank you for your response and information. And especially the compassion with which you approach this subject.
Our cat is so far doing pretty much the same. He eats a little bit, he vomits a little bit, all in all his weight loss is not progressing so that is a good thing. I know the time is coming when we'll have to put him down, but generally he is a happy cat right now, and definitely living his best life with all the love and attention he gets.
Thank you again!
fiv cats need gastrointestinal support you need prebiotic/probiotic and slippery elm bark
