Important
The test results are
in—your cat has tested positive for infection.
What does this mean?
With proper care, infected cats can often live long and healthy
lives. Our team will work with you to treat and manage the
infection using the following plan:*
Treating symptoms—Your cat can be treated
with medications to minimize the symptoms of infection.
 Semiannual wellness
visits, which will help us track your pet's progress:
- Thorough physical exam
- Fecal examinations
- CBC testing
- Blood chemistry panel (annually)
- Urinalysis and culture by cystocentesis
(annually)
Proper nutrition—We can recommend a properly
balanced nutritional diet to help you maintain the health of your cat.
Raw meat and eggs and unpasteurized milk are not good for your cat.
Reducing secondary infection opportunities—Your
cat will need to visit us immediately if there are any signs of
illness. Keeping your cat indoors and isolated from other cats in the
household can greatly reduce the chance of a secondary illness.
Spay/Neuter—This reduces the tendency for
your cat to fight and/or mate, thereby decreasing the ability to
spread the virus.
The key to safeguarding
your cat's health is to closely monitor its status and quickly respond
to apparent changes.
Prompt and accurate identification of secondary illnesses is
essential to your pet's condition, so we can follow up with
therapeutic intervention and help ensure a successful outcome.
 Please contact us immediately if you notice
changes in:
- Appetite
- Weight
- Activity
- Hair/Coat condition
- Bowel movements
or if your cat begins vomiting.
