Thanks! And for the info too, its useful as i'm reading up a lot.
I am less worried but my partner was already struggling due to the stress of our other cat, and knowing he is FIV and there could be a risk (even if small) has made that worse.
He is back with us for the time being and getting lots of fuss. He also (it turns out) has an ulcer on his left eye, and has some infected scratches on his front legs we hadn't noticed, so he's shaved in several areas and receiving eye drops and antiseptic cream so is slightly out of sorts today (not forgetting his castration!) it's been a bit of a week for him.
On the plus side, one of my colleagues at work might home him, I've given them the reality of his health so they are discussing with their partner and doing their own reading up, but I think they are keen so that would be a good outcome.
He will be with us until at least the new year, we will keep looking after him and managing the situation until we manage to find him a new home.
