FIV, Feline immunodeficiency virus is the cause of feline AIDS, it is not the same virus as HIV, the cause of human AIDS. It is a virus, much like feline leukemia, which causes an impaired immune system. It can be a fatal disease, and because it lowers an animal's immune system, secondary infections like pneumonia, lymphoma, anemias or other infections usually cause the pet's death. However its possible for a FIV-positive cat to live for many years without any signs of illness.
Risk factors for FIV include age, gender, illness, and time spent outdoors. Older cats are more likely to be infected as are more aggressive male cats that may roam and fight with other cats . Sick cats and free roaming cats are much more likely to have FIV. Transmission is primarily via deep, penetrating bite wounds.
These factors make Feline AIDS quite common and generally is passed on through cats saliva . This is good reason to make sure cats are locked up at night. There is a vaccination that can be given (to prevent the cat contracting the disease) and I am sure that your vet has explained this to you.
FIV is really a problem of the immunity and as a herbalist I can dramatically improve the Cat's immune system. This without compromising any other medication. Obviously FIV also effects organs within the body, namely the blood and lymphatic systems. On top of this the medications commonly prescribed also place a heavy load on the metabolism in general. I can prepare tonics which support the critical organs and systems within the body.
There will be three mixes in the program.
Start off on 2 drops to accustom your cat to the taste as they are fussy eaters. Mix into a smelly food like sardines or condensed milk. Then slowly build up the dose to 5 drops twice daily. This mix should clear the infection and if continued should build up the immunity. Cats will need to be kept inside of a night time and of course during winter to make sure they are at less risk of contracting any secondary infections
