Welp folks, we had Fox pegged as a boy…

Welp folks, we had Fox pegged as a boy…

But he’s a she. 🙀

And she’s not been well. 😟

Poor Fox(y) has been 🤮 and 💩… 😭

So we darted over to our veterinary pals at Heartlands Veterinary Hospitals York.

As you can see, Colin is happy to be there.

Foxy? Maybe not so much haha.

BUT, she behaved like a perfect angel! 😇

And we now know that she has FIV. ❤️‍🩹

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.

Which means that her immune system won’t be quite as robust as the average cat.

However with a low stress lifestyle, high quality wet diet and regular veterinary check-ups, Foxy has a good chance of living a happy life! 😍

How did she get FIV? 🤔

Most likely from her mumma. 😪

But many adult cats become infected when they fight with and are bitten by an FIV cat. 😱

Which is why sterilsation and containment is SO SO SO very important! 💯

We’ll be watching Foxy closely over the next week to ensure she fully recovers. 🧐

And managing her home care (keeping her hydrated, offering appropriate plain food and giving her loads of love).

Please send plenty of positive vibes her way!
