Newly Diagnosed late stage FIV 9year old CAT

Post by Cricket »

My sweet rag doll became very ill a few weeks ago. We have had her since she was a kitten and she has been an indoor only cat her whole life. She has always had goopy eyes but I always clean them and she has been fine. Well she got an URI a few weeks ago and I took her to the vet. They ran blood work and diagnosed her late stage FIV. She got a bit better once we got rid of the URI but she seems very weak, throws up white foam and has lost an excessive amount of weight. I feel so bad for her and don’t want her suffering but I don’t get very clear answers from my vet. What to expect? What to do? We tried 2 different immune support and it gives her diarrhea. I’m at a loss help!!!
