as most of you know, my dear momma cat snowwhite has justed tested postive for fiv. My question is when everyone got sick with runny eyes and noses shouldn't she have gotten it if she has fiv??? Most of the cat cleared with with me just putting gse in there food and water. Stormy was the only one that needed meds
(out of the kittens stormy was the only one, bonnie, neo and moemoe all got meds also)

There's no place like home
Not necessarily - FIV can compromise their immune system, but that doesn't mean that they will catch anything that comes along. I had a bout of rhino once through my house and my FIP baby was the only one that didn't catch it (of course I didn't know at the time that he had FIP).

Did you get your test results back yet?

(((***hugs***)))
