Re: Herpes virus


I have to echo everyone else here and say I am surprised no tests were done as treatment can be very illness specific.

I would maybe think about seeing another vet or insisting your current vet does the tests to find out exactly what the issue is.

Re: Herpes virus


Hi I have got a cat (Tilly) who has been a herpes virus carrier all her life she is 10 and a half years old and is OK apart from her sneezing. please feel free to PM me if you have any question. If it is herpes it can be very hard to pick up Tilly has been tsted four time with swabs and they haven't found the virus yet but all her symptons point to herpes virus. The problem is that it doiesn't live very long once it has left the cats body so that make it very hard to find.
I took Tilly to a specialist and he said that she has got the virus.

Do ask if yo have any question and I will try to answer them.
