Her vet seemed to feel as you do. He didn't vaccinate her until he got her test results. In the end, she only got her rabies shot. Our Sigrid -sighs- was positive for Fiv. We are basically heartbroken at this point even though he sent her home with us and explained that she does seem to have no outstanding health issues right now and will gain some of her weight back..but...his advice is that if she crashes again w/in this year we should definitely put her to sleep. Needless to say, it's not a terribly happy day in our household. He did say that the chances of our other furchild getting this is very very slim since he's well past kitten age, but regardless that when she passes or when we have her put to sleep they will have to test our other cat after 30 days. So now we struggle with do we put her to sleep now, let her try to recover and live as long as possible and maybe put our other cat at risk..just, alot to think about and of course...there's the main question..how much pain is she dealing with? We don't want her in pain. They are our two fur children and we didn't plan to get anymore so that's not an issue, her being comfortable and having quality of life is important though.
