Shadow is 4 years old and has had stomach problems off and on since I got her from a shelter at 1yr old. She's gone 2 times and diagnosed with food allergies and once with upper respritory infection.
She ALWAYS is weezing and the URI never seemed to fully clear up.
This last bout with diahrea and throwing up I took her to a new vet for another opinion. He did stomach x-rays and her intestines were inflammed. This was two weeks ago. He gave her cortisone shots and antibiotics and a supressant to stop the diahrea.
Last week I took her back because she's sneezing her pretty littke head off.
The vet doens't want to give her URI antibiotics until she has finished the stomach antibiotics. But on Thursday he is giving her a head x-ray to see her sinuses.
Could this be FIV? I have three other cats and two are new additions. At the shelter they tested negative but I am wondering now that Shadow is soo sick.
What are the symptoms? I have asked that the vet test her Thursday when she goes in for her head x-rays to be sure.
