So it might be the first sign of distemper? He was checked his temperature on Monday, it was normal. I got scared 🙁

i would be concerned about her thyroid, depending on age and breed.  when was her last bloodwork?

i mean your vet takes blood from your dog (this should be done annually) and screened for any abnormalities which would indicate illness.

if you haven’t had this done in the past 6 months, i’d get it done today.

my concern was mentioned in my first comment. this sounds like hypothyroid. asuming that’s what it is, it can be managed with drugs. but a senior blood panel is a necessary annual thing.

Hello,
It sounds like your dog is vomiting bile. Sometimes if a dog hasn’t eaten in awhile the bile can irritate the stomach and then they vomit. How long does your dog go between meals? If your dog only eats once a day, try doing twice per day…or even three times per day if possible. Use the same daily amount of food, just divide it up into more than one feeding.

 Of course, it could be other things that can cause this, but this would be my first thought.

Oh we already went to the vet cost 200 for him to stay all weekend and they gave him antibiotics they wrapednit but it didn’t last half day they want 25 bucks just to rewrap it I don’t have the money for that and its in a place where it wont stay either

Because of the stigmas and misunderstanding related to FIV, even if the litter is negative initially, we always test again at 6 months just to be sure although it’s most likely not necessary.

I’ve personally never heard from anyone in rescue about a litter initially testing negative and then testing positive later and I’ve never read any literature describing that scenario either.

I think that false positives are the overwhelming issue.

I’d be 100% comfortable adopting a kitten that tested negative from a FIV
positive mom … but for what it’s worth, I’d also be comfortable
adopting an FIV positive kitten or adult as well. 🙂

Hi Carolyn,

I don’t know if it’s technically impossible, but certainly not a common scenario in my personal experience. Over the last 4 years my rescue has taken in 3 cats (with litters) that have tested positive for FIV. All of the litters of kittens turned out to be negative. Our policy with FIV+ mom’s is to test the kittens on intake and then again in 6 months to verify results.

We did have one litter that tested positive initially and then tested negative 6 months later (a second test was given at 6 months just to double check).

Here’s some additional information from Best Friends Animal Society http://bestfriends.org/Resources/Pet-Care/Cats/Health-And-Care/FAQs-About-FIV/Hope

Hope this helps,
Adam
