We just lost one of our cats to FIP. Our surviving cat has not been himself, he won’t even play. He does not appear to have any FIP symptoms. He did lose his appetite for a few days after she passed, but he has since been eating regularly. He is very healthy, he just seems sad and lonely. Will we be able to get him another buddy (Could he get another cat sick now that he’s exposed to FeCV?) and how long should we wait?

i believe the virus is active in the environment for 3-7 weeks.  i’d get him checked out before you bring home another cat, and discuss prevention with your vet.
