Hi Everyone
I have a question on Feline Aids. My mom has what I call her own little cat shelter and I try to help out as much as possible. She feeds the strays/ferals in her neighborhood and whenever possible we trap them and wisk them off to the vet for neuter/spay and shots and whatever else they need. We have a nice vet who fits us in his busy schedule and even gives us a little discount since we bring so much business. On Tuesday we finally got the "Daddy of all Toms" and took him to the vet for "the works". He was dianosed with Feline Aids. The vet said that he could live a normal happy life with this but that there is no vaccine. So we had him neutered and everything else but I am concerned for the other cats. I would like all the information on this that anyone has. The vet said that it is normally transmitted by cat bites and now that he is neutered he won't go looking for fights.Also while I'm here if anyone knows anything about FIP I would also be interested. Last year we took in an orphaned kitten and he was dianosed with this. The vet said we had to put him to sleep because there was no hope. We were so heart broken over this because he was just a baby.
Anyway any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mandy
