My cat is four years old and has been diagnosed with calicivirus. It's showing itself in his gums, they are bright red and bleeding. The vet suggested removing the majority of his teeth, which she did, but it hasn't helped at all. He was on steroid tablets for a while which seemed to help a bit but today he is drooling, is so hungry and asking for food but can't eat it. He sleeps most of the time at the moment when he's not asking for food he can't eat. It's heart breaking. He's due to go back to the vets for a steroid injection on Monday but surely there must be something more we can do? The vet has said he has to live with it.

Hello! My 2 year old cat had surgery 3 weeks ago for a sliding hiatal hernia. He threw up dark bloody vomit and I knew something was wrong and x-ray with barium showed hiatal hernia. He had many symptoms prior to surgery (loss of appetite, weight loss, difficulty breathing, lack of energy for a few weeks trying to treat with medications). For 3 weeks post-op he was great, playing, moving about, eating a lot - acting normal (under supervision constantly to be cautious after surgery). Yet, 3 weeks later and he has the same symptoms returning again! About one year ago he was diagnosed with stomatitis and has always had a squeaky, respiratory problem going on since bringing him home from the shelter (where he also had ringworm) in January 2017. Could my cat have picked up FCV at the shelter over a year ago...Is FCV chronic?? Could my cat be dealing with FCV reoccurring every now and then? I have another 3 year old cat who I had prior... and he has no symptoms but occassional allergies (found outside as a kitten and never in a shelter). Please any help is appreciated. Thank you,

I am suspecting my 8 week old foster kitten may have FCV- He is currently eating well but I noticed a limp 2 nights ago & it has persisted. He has also started having some clear discharge from one eye. He seems lethargic & has a normal temp. I contacted the rescue who said it may be "feline limping syndrome" which I Googled to find out was FCV. I am wondering if this sounds like FCV to you all or am I being a hypochondriac reading symptoms online and making it fit his situation? I am also worried that I should separate his litter mate because the other kitten is seeming to be in excellent health at the moment. History: they arrived to me with fleas & coccidia. They have been given 2 doses of dewormer, Marquis for 3 days for the coccidia, now are on Albon for 10 days. They have not recieved any vaccines so far.

My rescue cat survived FCV- systemic infection 2 yrs ago. Bleeding from everywhere. She just finished ear drops for an infection and now began these sneezing bouts where she sneezes about 8 times in row very violently. She did this when she had FCV but she had blood come out. There’s no blood now. Should I be worried?

I vaccinated my kittens at 8 weeks, PCR, live modified virus, Purvax Feline 3. One of them started limping about 7-8 days later. Took the kitten to the vet, tests, X-Rays: nothing. As per recommendation from our vet, we gave him Metacam for 4 days. Not much improvement. Then, our vet suggested we give him antibiotics, Clavaseptin, for 14 days, morning and night. We see improvement. Could it be "limping calici"? He has no other symptoms. His brother however has clear discharge in one eye since the first vaccination and we are putting ointment Erythromicin for the past week. Doing better also. No other symptoms.
