Surprisingly, my older cat Jet has FIV. He came to me as a stray a few years ago, and I don't think I had him tested, but when he got blood work done two weeks ago, the vet told me that one of the things it checked for was FIV, and he is positive.
He has been doing fine other than having a chronic sneeze for periods of time and a slightly watery eye, but for two days, he has been really lethargic and would not eat much if anything yesterday or today. He was at the vet's today and they said he ate for them. He was just started on hyperthyroid medicine, so I thought maybe he was experiencing side effects from that. The vets seemed to think he was fine, but he is sleeping now.
I saw the new posts about the Solensia shot, and he has had three of those, I think. I thought he had done great on those. He has had bad arthritis, and I've noticed a big difference in his walking.
I'm just concerned about him now. The vet told me there is nothing they can do for his FIV that is not really expensive, and I think she was talking about a medicine they can give them. ? She suggested that I keep him on Fortiflora.
I've never had a cat with FIV before so suggestions are welcome. He is inside only.
