Hello!
From what I've read about FIV, it's very rare for a mother to pass on
the virus directly to her kittens (unlike FeLV). I would definitely
have her retested in a few months and wouldn't be surprised if she
turned up negative. But FIV is not like FeLV in that cats with FIV
usually live

I would not give him flea medication while he is sick, unless
he is clearly infested. Interferon, while possibly prophylactic, has never, to
my knowledge, helped a cat get over anemia or anything serious like that.

Not impressed with this guy, my vet always starts with blood work and

stuff before that even?
