My cat is 13 years old. She has always been an outdoor and indoor cat. A few years ago she was diagnosed with feline aids, but she never really seemed sick or had any symptoms of anything unusual. But lately (in the last 4 months) she has been sneezing (several times a day) like her nose is really congested. Sometimes she vomits (couple times a week). I don''t know if it''s related and she hasn''t been to the vets in a couple of years. Any advice? Thankyou Jan

Hi,
This is common in cats with feline AIDS. She, honestly should probably stay in as she is contagious to others.
In addition , she should have antibiotics and more importantly interferon. The good news is that interferon is cheap and the basic antibiotics will be as well. She could live a very long life with these two things added to her daily routine occasionally (usually about twice a year)
I would have her seen as soon as you might be able to. I hope this helps you help her!
