hello all! i am looking for some support with my newly diagnosed FIV positive cat. i am just heart broken by her diagnoses. her name is Abigail and she is the head honcho in my family. she is about 3 years old, was found as a stray so my be older. for the past year i have been having to take her to the vet for various problems. last week she was put on a new antibiotic that gave her severe diarrhea for a few days. i stopped the antibiotics and she was okay for a day or two. then she just lost all her energy and stopped eating and drinking. yesterday i took her to the vet and told him that i thought we were just treating symptoms and not the problem. he then did a full blood work up on her. she tested positive for FIV and her white cell count was triple what it should be. she has spent the last few days just sleeping in a corner in my closet. we started her on an immune therapy and yesterday after the first treatment seemed better. she has started eating (very little) and drinking again, but still has no energy. i feel we might have diagnosed her too late. i was hoping to find some other people going through the same situation as i am and what they are doing to treat them. she is does not seem to be in pain as of yet but she has no energy.
