I took my 3 year old cat to the vet today, and was told he likely has FIV. Ulcers in his mouth, suspected to be caused by FIV were what was hurting his appetite, and making him feel uncomfortable. The vet also said he had a high fever too. I was given some nutrient rich soft food for him and an appetite stimulant. I tried to take him to the vet twice in the last week and a half, and each time he'd panic when brought to the cage. I finally managed to get him in this morning after tricking him. He was given some shots to help with the ulcers and doesn't seem to be in as much pain anymore, and is no longer having a buildup of brown saliva around his mouth like he did. He is still tired though. I will not know for sure if it's FIV or not until later this week, but currently, FIV is what's suspected. I feel so bad that it took this long to get him in, but between his reluctance to get in the cage each time and so many things happening, it took longer than I wanted. I just hope that time didn't make it much worse.
