Hello there! I'm glad you're thinking about your cat's well-being while you're not feeling your best. Cats with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) have compromised immune systems, which makes them a bit more vulnerable to infections. However, the good news is that the influenza virus in humans doesn't directly transmit to cats.
That said, FIV-positive cats are more susceptible to secondary infections due to their weakened immune systems. It's always wise to minimize close contact while you're sick to reduce any risk of passing along bacteria or other pathogens. Simple hygiene measures like washing your hands before handling your cat or their things can be very helpful.
Monitor your furry friend for any signs of illness, such as sneezing, coughing, changes in appetite, or lethargy. If any of these symptoms appear, it might indicate an underlying issue that requires attention.
If you notice these symptoms or if your cat's behavior changes, it's a great idea to schedule a check-up. In the meantime, make sure your kitty has a cozy place to rest away from any potential drafts and maintain their regular feeding and medication schedules.
If you still have concerns or notice any worrying symptoms, don't hesitate to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We're here to support you and your feline friend!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
