Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV): Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), often called 'feline AIDS,' is a chronic retroviral infection of cats first identified in 1987. It weakens the immune system so cats become vulnerable to secondary infections. Unlike human HIV, FIV is not sexually transmitted; it spreads mainly through bite wounds and shared saliva, and infected cats often live a normal lifespan. The virus does not infect humans.

Find the cause before treating scale loss in blood parrot cichlids: fighting from overcrowding, poor water with bacteria (leading to red-skin disease or fungus), or injury.
