Hi Caroline, I can't tell you about the archives, but I can tell you about FIP and FIV. FIP is a rare mutation of a coronavirus that almost all cats that have been around other cats, shelter cats, etc have been exposed to. One of my vets puts the exposure rate to coronavirus at 95% at our local

here's the short answer: FIV is almost always transmitted through DEEP, PENETRATING BITES (the kind that boy cats inflict in testosterone-fueled rages when fighting over girl cats--which is why almost all FIV are boys.) it's NOT air-borne, water-borne, feces-borner. ie, it's not really a

I'm a little less worried about FIV, despite what the vet said, b/c I knew this about the bite wounds. And none of my cats fight like that- ever. Plus, by the time I took in the wimpy, frail, undernourished (anorexic) guys, they are so slow they don't even play fight. All were neutered at 2

I certainly agree with that. Fiv is easy - I have several FIV cats, that never get sick. Well, I have 1 that's just turned diabetic, but other than that, no problem. I mix them with my non-FIV cats, no problem. FIP, another question, like she said. They can test for FIV/FELV in-

Dixie eats chopped high vitamin C veggies but the tech of a holistic vet I know uses the Wal-Mart brand of tablets and cuts them into 1/4 and grinds them. Start slowly and work up with the vitamin C and with the Brewer's Yeast. If you don't you may get unpleasant side effects.
