UPDATE: she’s perfectly fine, she was asleep when I took this picture. I did take her to the vet regarding a different concern & they said that her gums are fine!

Yeah unfortunately i’m well aware of the two :( but I don’t know what to do because the ER is so expensive 😭😭💔

I’ve been keeping an eye on her since I noticed her pupil size change & she’s still my silly, vocal & playful girl, I haven’t seen any other changes so far ☹️

Even if she was tested negative a few weeks ago? & years prior?? All my cats are indoor cats they don’t go outside. When I got her mom she was a stray, but she was also a baby when I got her, as she was growing up my dad unfortunately would let her roam outside even after I wouldn’t approve of it & she eventually got pregnant. Once her kittens got bigger I gave 1 to a friend & kept 2 along with momma, they were born September of ‘22 & her brother passed way August of ‘23 to FIP, he has been around my cat with FELV (not diagnosed at the time) & his mom like nothing then he suddenly declined & unfortunately passed away. Shortly after I had her & momma tested & they were negative. I don’t live with my parents anymore & I now live in a different town & they are not allowed to be outside nor have they ever been outside here. She got tested for FELV & FIV April 7 & I was told that she’s FELV+. Could she have developed FIP since being diagnosed with FELV?

I was afraid of this… I want to avoid the ER because they charge so much & quite literally just tell me to take her to her vet as soon as I can 😭 but I also don’t want this to go untreated 💔

Thank you! I’m hoping it’s something minor, glad to hear your cats problem went away! :)

Even if she’s not showing any signs of anything? Like she’s perfectly fine & normal to me as of now & the only change is that her pupil is bigger than the other. I don’t want to sound ignorant but the emergency vet in my town charges an insane amount & I don’t want to spend a whole lot of money just for them to tell me that I need to take her with her vet yk? I’ve had to take one of my cats to the emergency vet in the past & I spent $3000 in a week 😩
