I have a new kitten (12 weeks old) and he has had a series of issues since I got him from a rescue organization.
First off, he had/has coccidia treated with albon but still had bloating, diarrhea, and has despite repeat fecal occult which was negative for coccidia.
He has a possible urinary tract infection (WBC and RBC found in urine, currently being looked at for antibiotic sensitivity)
The vet also noticed inflamed gums in the back of his mouth. A small area covering about 2-3 teeth and is thought to be stomatitis. The kitten is so young that plaque and poor dental hygeine would not be factors.
These three problems lead me to believe my kitten is immunocompromised. I am worried he has FIV or some sort of virus (calicovirus??). Any insight into how normal this type of presentation is?
