Ours doesn’t have FIV, but she does get sick every few months. I put her in the bathroom with me when I take a shower and I don’t turn the exhaust fan on. It seems to help her. The steam I think helps reduce inflammation.
My guy follows me everywhere, but whenever I turn the shower on he runs away! He seems to be a bit scared whenever it rains too. The guy must really not like water.
But if I can get him to chill in the bathroom with the shower on, I'll give it a go.
Mine did too for a long time, but we did it a few times and she realized she liked the steam so now she comes in willingly a lot of the time.
