http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/ For companions of cats who have feline herpes virus (FVR) Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:40:48 GMT Kenneth Almgren http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32343 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32343 Betsy, Are you sure they all have FHV? I came to this group about 7 years ago because I thought, from process of deduction, that my cats had FHV. But, for my Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:07:18 GMT Betsy Stocksdale http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32342 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32342 Thanks Anyes. Any advice on the other questions? ...

I would pick one or the other. Cypro stimulates appetite so maybe a good Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:50:48 GMT batsee http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32340 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32340 Terzi, and the other 7 cats in my household, have herpes. Terzi has residual nasal scarring and constant sneezing, daily. Normally this does not affect her Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:19:20 GMT Anyes http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32339 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32339 Hi Cindi, Not sure I can answer all your questions, but some I can. I have been in the same boat with 2 very small kittens, one days old, the other 3 weeks Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:33:05 GMT Kenneth Almgren http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32338 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32338 Cindy, I have been here for years and I am glad you asked for dosages - it would be good to know. Grain free food helps cure skin allergies much of the time - Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:50:22 GMT cindi a/k/a Cin http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32337 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32337 Howdy y'all. I have been lurking for a while. I have a rescue and probably 1/3 have feline herpes in one form or another. I just started the Llysine but I have Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:29:33 GMT fisher_paige http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32336 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32336 Hello, I am wondering if anyone has used Acyclovir for herpes? I have two cats that I have been treating with an antibiotic ointment for the eye, along with Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:24:01 GMT Anyes http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32335 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32335 I would give 500mg then. Also, claritin may help dry her up so it does not turn into a bacterial infection. 1/2pill/day.

Should I start Sissy on 250 mg per day or 500 mg? I can never remember these things.

It's probably the stress that is causing this, and herpes can flare up in times of stress. Are you giving lysine? If not, I Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:38:42 GMT littleboyblu87 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32332 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32332 I have a 10 y/o (Sissy) that I don't think has ever really had issues with the herpes virus. I honestly can't remember, but I don't think she has. Last week Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:31:32 GMT moontidearts http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32331 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32331 ... My vet doesn't see a reason to put my Juliet on any meds, as she's not really suffering. Her symptoms are pretty much the same every day...no sneezing but Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:03:33 GMT morgaine lefay http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32330 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32330 i understand what you are saying. with FVR they sometimes don't get the eye thing is she on lylysine 2x aday i have my cats upt to 1000mg caps which i put in Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:12:06 GMT Tricia & Rich http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32329 http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/felineherpes/message/32329 Doesn't sound like feline herpes. Without the testing, which is, as Kenneth said, is not expensive, but well worth the cost. Sometimes, eye problems are a
