Hi Chris,
thank-you very much for sharing your story. The problem here is that in these 
days I read very much on FeLV and FIV and I agree with you. My cats have always 
been together (except for Trudi, who is a lone wolf), they play, groom each 
other and they eat together even if they have one bowl each :-)
They go out and I live in the country, so there are surely many stray cats and 
many owners who don't bother to test their cats!

What am I supposed to do? I don't want to keep them inside because it's like a 
prison for them.

On friday I will test the last two of them and I strongly hope they're 
negative, so I will continue to vaccine them and hope.

My vet scared me a lot saying that FIV is very transmissible and the virus is 
strong and cats can catch it by grooming each other. Since I knew that it's not 
so, I tried to ask once again to this vet, but she keeps on saying that FIV 
spreads very well. I'm really surprised to hear so...

I so decided to take Trudi to another vet and she immediately recognized 
stomatitis in her mouth (which the first one denied) and nose. She simply gave 
me a gel for her mouth. About the dermatitis: it can be for amoxicillin but we 
don't know. We decided to use, first, something against fleas and then wait and 
see. If the situation does not change, we will try with a local gel.

Has anyone had experience with dermatitis?
For Trudi it's the first time, and that's why I think it was the amoxicillin.

If you want to see picture of my 4 babies, I have a blog. It's written in 
"cattish" so you cannot understand, but you can see pictures.
It's www.trumiro.com
