I just had a slight cold issue and it seemed Annie always got in my face when she sneezed. I took her to the vet first day since she is positive (age 8 going on 9) and felv issues usually start with upper respiratory. She got a shot and I brought home some antibiotics to give her. She seems to be getting better. I have been sofortunate with her that this is her only illnes.
