Feline Herpes plus allergies?
Hi,
My cat was just diagnosed with Feline Herpes along with Allergies(unknown to what) and Anal Gland Infection. She has been given antibiotics for the infection along with Starting her on Llysine for the herpes, The Vet has also Changed her to a dental food as her teeth roots are rotting(from the herpes according to the vet) and wants to put her on CT Support and O Fend Oil(I think is what it is called). I was also given a Cream to put on her bumps caused from her allergic reactions. My Cat takes the Llysine without a problem she'll lick it off my finger. The vet suggested that I use wet foot to give Asia her Ct Support and the oil, only problem is she doesn't like nor will she eat wet food. I've tryed offering her the oil on my finger but she licks a little then walks away and won't touch it again. What I was hoping for is some suggestions on how to get her to take the oil and CT support, along with any Information on Feline Herpes, I've tryed to google it but without much luck. What I'd like to know is what the cost will be in treating it, along with what her quality of life will be. |

Hi Angeli, welcome to pets.ca! Your kitty is gorgeous.

What allergy symptoms does she have (itching, fur-mowing, digestive upset)? Quote:
I'm not sure what the O Fend Oil is, do you have a list of ingredients? (sorry for all the questions) Quote:
She absolutely can have a long, healthy life. As for cost, the best investment you can make is going to be a quality diet (so nothing from the vet clinic). That will help with not only the herpes, and quite likely the allergies, but also her anal glands, her teeth and her overall health.

I ended up taking her to the vet this time as she had small bumbs on the back of her leg which she had licked the hair away from the vet told us they were caused by an allergy. While we were there they found the infection in her anal glands, and the Red line along her gums and the fact her front teeth are missing/falling out (they were like that when i got her and we had asked them about it before, I just put it to the fact she was a rescue cat found outside that she must have been injured somehow) and with us bringing up the discharge she gets, they told us she had Herpes.

The way she was disgnosed this time was we took her into the vet to look at some bumps on her back leg(she has had some on her chest we treated with Otomax but we weren't sure if it was ok to use where she could really lick) which they have told us it is caused by allergies. While we were there they found the infection in her Anal Gland which is being treated with antiboitics; Along with a red line along her teeth which they tell me is that they are rotting caused by the herpes and the fact she is missing some of her front teeth(She has been missing them since we got her and I asked about it when we first took her to the vets I just marked it do to her being a rescue that at somepoint she had been injured in the mouth) With us brining up the discharges from before they diagnosed her with Herpes Quote:
I was giving her Iams indoor weight control hairball food before the dental diet, I have read the site you linked and I am interested in it but I want to look into it more before commiting to a complete wet diet. Quote:

I use Maxx Scoop multicat small spaces clumping Litter, I don't find it dusty or scented again I've had to try different one until I could find one I could use in the house do to people allergies (I tested out with my first cat) Quote:
