Thanks for the advice both of you. The vet is not leading me either way, but has made the risks very clear, as well as the fact that he is very sick and won’t live that long. I feel like I should get his teeth done, but I worry that i’m Just putting him through a lot of stress when he’s likely...

Hi everyone, I’ve had some bad news. My FIV+ cat has severe kidney failure (stage 3), and has 1-2 years maximum to live, probably less. But his teeth are a mess and need taking out. That would mean a three-day hospital stay and the danger the anaesthetic could send his kidneys into complete...

Oh that all sounds positive, thank you so much for putting my mind at ease. Lots of love to Huxley!

Thank you for your response! I think you’re probably right in terms of wet food. He hates being groomed, so I just hope he’ll be ok doing most of that for himself. Poor little guy!

Hi everyone, happy new year! I took my FIV+ cat to the vet today because he’s been struggling with a sore mouth. Tooth and gum problems are common with FIV cats, and he’d had most of his teeth removed by the shelter before I adopted him. Unfortunately, the ones that are left are so bad, the...

Aww, he sounds lovely! Frank is wonderful. It's taking him time to get used to everything, but he's getting more snuggly every day. Glad to hear such positive stories about cats like him!

Thank you! Frank has no symptoms either, and that's exactly how I'm feeding him, so it's a massive relief to hear how well your Bobby is doing.

Thank you so much, that is incredibly helpful and I will check out all of those links. I knew urinary tract infections were a potential problem, which is why I've been giving him more wet food than I was originally advised. I'm in the UK, and was told there were no meds for the condition, and...

Hi everyone! Just looking for a bit of advice and some opinions. Six months ago I adopted an fiv+ cat from Cat's Protection, who recommended I feed him mainly a dry diet, with wet food just a couple of times a week. They recommended Purina or Hills Vet Essentials, but having done some research...

Thank you!

Thank you, that is so kind of you! This site seems so supportive, I'm really glad I found it. Hope you're having a great Saturday.

Thank you, you made him blush!

All seems to be forgiven, thanks everyone for your advice and help!

He sings an excellent My Way at karaoke!

Thank you!

That sounds exactly the same, thank you for letting me know. He seems to be a lot better today, so I'm panicking less now!

No, he has his flea treatment every month, this was for parasites. The vet gave it to me because he doesn't like pills, but I think they're going to have to be the only option going ahead.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the kind words about Frank everyone!

Aww, thank you! It'll take some patience but he'll get there.

Thank you so much Abyeb, we're both looking forward to being part of the community!
