In reply to Jennifer peat. Hi Jennifer. Have a look at my page on cats that bite and scratch people and hopefully you’ll find some tips.

I have a rescue fiv cat not sure how old he is mybe 3. Or 4. He has been hard work I was bite 3 times the first week quite badly broke the skin and a lot of blood. I have had him about 6 months he has settled down a lot now but still has the tendency to try to bite but not aggressive just nips and sometimes scratches too he is not a lap car but has started to become more comfortable lately. I had to put my darling boy down as he was 18 and got sick.

In reply to Linda Allen. Hi Linda. Like most diseases associated with FIV, the diarrhoea will not be directly caused by the virus but instead by another disease process only possibly exacerbated by immunodeficiency. It’s actually more likely at 3 years to be unrelated as FIV is usually asymptomatic at this stage. Chronic diarrhoea in young cats is mostly caused either by an infectious agent such as Coronavirus (best identified via faecal PCR) or dietary intolerance.

Any suggestions on how to control the diarrhea. Just got a 3 yro, not neutered yet (date set) who tested positive for the Virus.
