I took in an FIV positive stray. I had taken him down to get fixed and when I went to pick him up, a tech pulled me aside. Since I had told him he was a stray they decided to test him. He was FIV positive but Lukemia negative.
This cat is wonderful. Since I taking in strays I decided to have him vacinated. I had them done one at a time so I wouldn't stress his system. It has been a year now and he shows no symptoms.
I do not seperate him from my other cats. I have two petmate freshflows that I clean fequently. He is also my alpha male. He will disispline the other cats if they don't behave, like not using the litter box or breaking up a fight, or most the time keeping Curzon, my Bengal from destroying the blinds on my side door. He has given Curzon some scratches on his neck, but Curzon was just tested in December and he is still FIV negative.

Oh by the way can we get a petition up to hang the vet. Just kidding.

I think hanging is too good for this vet!

p.s. Caruso's new mom decided to just wait until next year's vet visit to have him re-tested (at a different vet's office, of course!)
