Ana NemecGUEST
One is cross-contamination between the patients and obviously transferring of pathogenic organisms, which can be also viruses, for example, leukemia or feline...
Ana NemecGUEST
Like FIV, right? FIV, yes.
Ana NemecGUEST
And it's definitely clear that we must not allow that to happen and that needs to be prevented by... meticulous sterilization of all the materials or instruments that come in contact with patient's tissues.
Ana NemecGUEST
The other aspect is also the health of the personnel that is working with a patient because we need to understand that obviously all of these microorganisms in the oral cavities are being aerosolized.
Jeffrey KimGUEST
You know, there's a study that I personally worked on at my previous institutions where we were looking at feline immunodeficiency virus.
Jeffrey KimGUEST
And we're looking at it in multiple avenues.
Jeffrey KimGUEST
So one might, and I was looking at with my team, testing a novel antiretroviral therapy to test a treatment for our FIV-infected patients.
Jeffrey KimGUEST
But because it was such a larger study, I was also collaborating with ecologists.
Jeffrey KimGUEST
I was collaborating with veterinary pathologists, dental and oral surgeons as well, because we're also looking at how FIV, as you also know, how it's impacting oral disease, how both the infection and treatments impact the oral disease as well.
Jeffrey KimGUEST
So we brought in a veterinary dentist as well for that part of the study.
Jeffrey KimGUEST
And we're looking at how oral microbiome is also impacted by treatment and the virus as well and impact the overall health.
Molly DennisGUEST
And it really isn't that when you, you know, when you step outside the Acropolis and the parks, the archaeological parks, it's a very different story of, you know, kittens trying to cross the street on busy roads and get hit.
Molly DennisGUEST
And diseases, you know, FIV is a very big disease.
Molly DennisGUEST
That's right.
Molly DennisGUEST
for the cats.
Stef PhillippsGUEST
Oh, yes.
Stef PhillippsGUEST
FIV and FeLV.
Dan BatchelorHOST
Yeah.
Stef PhillippsGUEST
Our friends.
Stef PhillippsGUEST
But as a solo cause of neuro signs without anything else, really, really uncommon.
Dan BatchelorHOST
Mm.
Stef PhillippsGUEST
Um, so FIV can obviously lead to secondary opportunistic infections which potentially could include things like FIP but also the really uncommon things like toxoplasma, cryptococcus, um, potentially increases the risk of neoplasia as well, so spinal lymphoma would be a good example of that.
Dan BatchelorHOST
Okay.
Marika BellHOST
They wanna go sniff or go outside.
Marika BellHOST
I have two cats right now that I'm dealing with this, because when they go outside, I have a cat with FIV.
Victoria StilwellGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Marika BellHOST
And so he can't go outside without potentially endangering his life, and which means the other cat can't go outside either without potentially endangering his life by bringing something back in.
JonathanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And those are really nasty ones.
JonathanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I would always want to make sure your cat doesn't have FIV or FELV, which is going to significantly impact the resolution.
JonathanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then if we're still getting these refractory cases, then I like cyclosporines in those cases and also interferons as the other option.
JonathanSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So either of those is the medical management I would see, I would try, in combination with pain relief and such.

Fifi,
Angela WarwickHOST
It also states indoor cats still need the F3, which I do not agree with, by the way.
Angela WarwickHOST
And outdoor cats may require F4 or F5 vaccines, which includes the F3 with the additional protection against feline immune deficiency virus, which is FIV.
Angela WarwickHOST
And leukemia, which is the F-E-L-V.
Angela WarwickHOST
And then the puppy schedule, usually given in a series starting at six to eight weeks, then 10 to 12 weeks, and then 14 to 16 weeks of age.
speaker_7UNKNOWN
I just thought of this when we were saying, should we trust AI? Because we do have clinical tools that I trust.
speaker_7UNKNOWN
It tests the FIV score, CHAD score, and all of that, and it puts in the data.
speaker_7UNKNOWN
So now I'm thinking, I just trust it, because can I trust it? I mean, I don't have to manually put all their, before this clinical tools became available, I have to put the HDL, but now it actually pulls all that for us.
speaker_7UNKNOWN
Sometimes the only things that I have to put in and it would put a question mark is male, female, because some people don't answer it, or African, non-African, and then it pulls.
