    FIV-related infection or New Home stress?

    So now I have a weird question. I've finished the antibiotics, great, no problem with anything with that, even when I wasn't always super consistent with the probiotics. HOWEVER, he's had a little bit of diarrhea for the last two days and I really have no idea where it could be coming from. I...

    FIV-related infection or New Home stress?

    UPDATE! He's doing MUCH better and seems to have resigned himself to the fact that he will be getting medicine twice a day. While he clearly doesn't like  it, he either recognizes it's helping or has just accepted it haha because his eye is looking MUCH better and he's not constantly hiding like...

    New Cat Mom in Boston to FIV+ DMH boy

I had to sort of jerry-rig the couch so that I could pull him out from under :( but he seems to be ok  in there, just...

He's been wonderful, and he finally started coming out from under the couch in the evenings to get to know me, let me pet him, and basically mingle. He has a VERY laid back demeanor, except for the fact that he...

    FIV-related infection or New Home stress?

    Yes, she gave me a boatload of medicines haha but I had actually started him on L-lysine as soon as I got him home. I had read a bunch about it being potentially helpful and no evidence of it being harmful so I figured 'why not?' I'd been giving him 1-2 treats a day, as the bag...

    FIV-related infection or New Home stress?

    Hi Everyone, I'm new here so bear with me if my question isn't totally in the correct format.  I just adopted a wonderful male cat, 3-4 years old, from a shelter in a town nearby. He is FIV positive, which I knew when adopting him because I did a LOT of research online about it and felt that...
