I'd do the ivermectin, it's got a low risk of side effects, and will cure

Yeah, that's just bad bedside manner. She was trying to get you to drop it,

I've saved a ton of money by switching to a non-clumping litter called
cedarific. I buy a huge bale of it for $17, and it fills our 4 catboxes 3 or
more times. The only down side? You have to change it more often, every 4-7
days, depending on the weather (heat and humidity effects how fast
The cedarific weighs about 1/2 what the same amount of any clumping litter
weighs, and about 1/4 of what any clay (clumping or not) litter weighs. So if
you're trying to go for less weight, the cedarific would work better for you...

Yeah, you're right about the FIV and FELV contagions risks. FELV is more
apt to be transmitted than FIV if all the cats are friendly to each other. I
wouldn't think twice of mixing a FIV in with negatives, if the FIV cat was
friendly
