5/9 Honey AMPS 380, +5.5 291, PMPS 371

Is Honey an outside cat? FIV is transmitted from the mother cat or from a deep bite wound from another cat.

Here's an interesting article (Cornell University) https://consciouscat.net/2014/06/16/holistic-treatments-fiv-positive-cats/

My kitty Alice was a Feral kitten She developed Stomatitis by the time she was 2 yrs old. Not much you can do for it (some vets believe pulling all the teeth out & large doses of antibiotics help. From what I read over the years Even after removing all the poor kitties teeth the virus can come back! )

I chose not to do that to her. She's the same age as Ravan & Peggy Sue will be 17 in June.Her teeth were absorbed years ago & she does just find eating without any teeth even her raw meat diet. I read articles that they are finding that Zyrtec can put some cats into remission so she gets 1/2 tab a day & her mouth looks better.

It might be a good idea to do some research about FIV. Vets are often too busy to find new info & just keep doing what they've been doing for many years. Here's one I found tps://www.cytodyn.com/media/press-releases/detail/19/cytodyn-to-present-findings-on-its-feline-immunodeficiency

Remember any STRESS is sometimes more harmful than the disease itself!

She was outside before I took her in. Did not know there were any treatments, it is similar to HIV in humans. I did research when I first got her 8 years ago.
