I use hurplex and tobrex if the eye is bad I put drops in every hour alternating the 2 I have not lost an eye yet with this protocol. Kayla ... From: mai_lin2 ...
Jen - Make sure no steroids, that could make it worse, in a herpes cat. ... Thank you for the welcome. We're using dexamethason drops and terramycine ointment...
Hi all Last week I took my cat to the vet and he believes he has feline herpes. I first took my cat to the vet in May and he was diagnosed with a scratch on...
Welcome to the group. . When I first got Ogie, and took him to the vet., he was given Neo-Poly-Bac with steroids. The vet. didn't know he had herpes, and I ...
Thanks for the info. Currently he is on Prescription Diet ID to get the Lysine in him and for dry he is on Chicken Soup light cat food. I have never had a cat...
Ogie is on Chicken Soup too. That's a good dry food. Most everyone here agrees that canned is better, but I've had a terrible time getting Ogie to eat...
Don't fret! I think we've about all giving steroids time to time and especially before knowing it's not recommended in cats with herpes. Note though, this...

I forgot to mention you should probably get the advise from an ophthalmologist in regards to best treatment for eye care. It's expensive but you wouldn't want...

I agree with Jamie. When Dodgers eye was severly affected in January, the vet gave me cortisine eye oinment along with the other meds. He is still on Lysine a...
I just took a dog to a vet ophthalmologist. It was $125 for the first 40 minute appointment. I think with medications it might have been $137 total....
Personnally I would wait on the specialist. I have a chronic herpes cat with one severely damaged eye(I got him that way) I've had great success with the...
I would stay away from steroid use, even if drops. I accidently used a steroid drop in a herpes cat, and sure enough it turned into an ulcer, and with much...
My cat's ophthalmologist is also wonderful....she is the one who has given me so much understanding in terms of the herpes virus and how best to treat: They...

Dianne - The Neo-Poly Bac ointment with STEROIDS made Ogie's eye ulcer much, much worse. The Neo-Poly-Bac WITHOUT STEROIDS cured it, but it did take about a...
I think perhaps you can find more nutritious food than both the ID and the Chicken Soup light. Nothing against the Chicken Soup, it's good dry food, but the...
Hi, I use terramycin ointment in my kitties eyes, she never ulcered but they get red and enflamed frequently. I buy lysine capsules and sprinkle in a tiny...
Thanks for the info. I went out and bought a couple of cans of the Wellness cat food. I'm going to try to switch him to a canned food diet. How much do you...
Just go with about 4-6 oz depending on your cat's weight and whether he is already in good shape. The thing we do is if they are getting a little heavy, we...
Looks good; they also have California Natural which is designed more for food intolerances. ... From: felineherpes@yahoogroups.com...

Jen - That's wonderful. I hope the eye stays that way. . I would keep a close watch. Sometimes using steroids with a herpes cat, the eye seems to get better,...

Lysine is the key to keeping flare ups at a minimum as well as decreasing the severity of flare ups. I think the vet is not up to date on treating herpes. My...
