Breeze - There is no one thing that describes a herpes cat. There are all kinds of symptoms & some cats have, none, one or a few, and some have them all....
A flare-up is when the symptoms get worse--really worse--and the cat shows the effects by possibly losing his appetite, not wanting to eat, drink, play, etc....
Good Morning everyone, I (& my Lucky) just joined this morning (thank you for letting us!). My poor Roo has not only HyperThyroid, but now I have just found...
Ana - Welcome to the group. That's an interesting story. Most of us give 500 mg of L-Lysine daily & 1000 mg during flare ups. Also some kind of immune system...
The vet is right about the bones in the sinus cavities. Who knows what the inside of Rally's sinus cavities looked when he died (of cancer at age 17)? But I...
Hi Jean, I just started today in giving her the L-Lysine (Nature's Made brand), one vet I spoke with (I believe) said I could get over the counter L-Lysine. I...
Ana - Check Ogies' web site, for the info I have. There's a list, of quality foods on page #3. . http://community.webtv.net/jecsby/titlenoscriptOgie/ ...

last winter i took in a stray female ready to have babies, put her in the utility room and my baby went crazy .after 10 days the situation did not get ant...
Everyone that's seen my posts just knew I'd have to write in on this one! I have had the SAME problem as you so I can totally empathize! I'm not going to go...
You can also get the capsules. I open them and mix them with the liquid from her cat food. She licks it all up first and then I put down the cat food! Terri ...
Hi everyone! I have a little black and white kitty with feline herpes - his name is Bucky and he is about four months old. I found him on the side of the road...
Hi everyone I have heard from a family who have one of my kittens for breeding that routine viral screening on arrival has come up positive for herpes. I am...
Hi, I have three cats but only one has FHV. She is always sick especially these last two months and my other cats get it! It is costing me a fortune with vet...
Pamela - Yes a cat can have herpes with no symptoms. .................Jean . . . . Hi everyone I have heard from a family who have one of my kittens for...
Absolutely it can be that way. However, I would more likely question where the kitten has been since it left your cattery. Is that a possibility that the...
Thanks Jean I know they can be carriers but I always thought there would have been initial symptoms!! It s a bit scarey really but I guess I should be pleased...
Hi Caralee Thanks for that, but sadly it could only be from here as she only left last Friday and was tested on Sunday!! Here in the UK kittens dont leave...
Good for you for saving this boy--he undoubtedly would have died without your rescue. As my dad used to say whenever I took in a sickly expensive stray:...
It's possible, I'd suppose, that the recent vaccinations could be the source of her positive result. Did they use live or modified-live vaccine? Ask your vet...
Pam - sometimes a cat can carry the herpes virus, for years, with no symptoms, and then one day something stressful happens and there's a flare up. ...
Chris - Ditto what Caralee Said. Here's Ogie's web site, if you want more info on Feline Herpes & treatments. ... There's a good cat food list on page #3. . ...
Lucie - I feel for you. These cats can get a bit expensive. The herpes will never be cured, but you can get it under control, so it will be less expensive...
Thank you so much for the pointers. I really do want Bucky to have the best chance at the healthiest life I can give him, and the food list really helps. Time...
Hi, I just finished reading this thread and really want to say thanks as well! Bucky sounds like an awesome cat! I was wondering if anybody knows if the...
Rosanna - If you're going to feed dry. Chicken Soup, For the Cat Lovers Soul is great. I don't know any cats, who have liked the Chicken Soup canned....
