I work with a lot of feral kittens. When I see a firm belly we start treating for worms immediately.
Worms are bad, but I'm glad people are talking about that rather than FIP
I'm thankful there's finally a treatment for that
My area is blissfully free of FIP. FIV on the other hand.
This is Frasier. He and his brother were seven weeks old when they came in Niles was happily adopted about a week ago from a cat cafe. Frazier however tested positive for FIV. Two kids from the same mom that should have had pretty much identical life circumstances up to that point. We waited a month and tested them both again just to make sure there wasn't a false positive from was still carrying some antibodies from Mom.. still FIV. So it's taken us a bit of time to find a rescue adoption that will take an FIV+ kid. He is scheduled to leave in the middle of next month.
