My kitten just passed from this tonight. It was going to be his 1st birthday in a few days. He’s no longer in pain but I wish I could’ve done more. Our vet and I tried so much and i know he knew he was loved by all that got to experience his beautiful self. He had so much love around him and led a great life while he was here. Sorry to dump this here. Please go hug and kiss your kitty babies.
I'm so sorry for your loss guys, I just had to surrender my cat because of this. I couldn't afford her vet care. I pray she gets rehomed to someone that loves her as much as I do, but Im expecting the worst.
I have so much respect for a vet. They have to be sooo smart becuz animals cant tell u whats wrong or how much they hurt..... God bless all u vets out there
@@VeterinarySecrets And they also hurt as much as the parents of the animal do, but they cannot show it , they have to be objective. As in any profession there is a flip side.
actually, vets are even smarter than that. Human doctors only know about healing one animal - humans. With just a few variables for male/female. Vets have to know about all animals !!! cats, dogs, horses, fish, birds, hamsters, snakes etc etc.... and each animal has it's own metabolism, skeleton, variables, etc etc......
I’m dealing with this right now. I used Tobramycin on my cats eye and her eye became so swollen. I had no choice but to take her to the vet and as usual they tried to push all these additional tests. They wanted to charge me $874. I said her eye wasn’t this bad until I used the tobramycin and I think she’s having a bad reaction to it. So now she’s on Tobradex and Doxycycline and then this morning they called me to go and pick up Gabapentin. She has no congestion, no sneezing. She’s running around playing and appetite is fine, she just had discharge coming out of her eye. I’m giving her L-lysine with her food and I’m hoping her eye heals fast.
Thank you, after giving Lysine to my kitten for only 3 days her uper respiratory infection is going away, and the sweling on her eyes is completely gone, she also eats and drinks better, she is happier and she likes to play more.
My cat has his! I just adopted him 3 weeks ago and noticed he had a flu. Sneezing constantly and had yellow eye buggers :( took him to the vet, discarded aids and leukemia and they told me he probably had herpes virus. They gave him a treatment and it worked for like a week but the symptoms have started showing again 😢 good thing is he’s super active and has a good appetite so I hope that’s a good sign
@@SophFramboos so much better now!! He is so healthy! No signs of the herpes now! He battled with it while he was a baby but with the vets treatment it went away and now he’s a healthy cat. We know he still has the virus but he hasn’t had symptoms ever in so many months!
I am baffled as to how our cat has become sick. She does not go out, none of us are sick, and we rarely go out, so very little outside contact. Here our poor cat is stuffed up and sneezing. She is drinking, eating, and resting. I feel so bad for her and I am so grateful to have found your video, thank you for your help.
Thank you for this video, my poor Persians both have it, and have been spending so much money at vet for each flare up because I get so scared, this made me feel so much better & im gonna try all of this!
Wish I had watched this months ago. I've been going out of my mind trying to get my cat better. She has been through 4 different rounds of antibiotics and wasn't getting better. I finally started treating her naturally here at home giving her the steam showers and most of everything you mentioned here and she seems to be making progress. There's a few here I didn't know about.
I give my herpes kitty some L-lysine with food. It really helps! Have you tried it? The Kitten Lady is also a super informative channel. These 2 are amazing!
@Faima Arta Just regular steam. I take them in the bathroom and run the shower on hot to steam up the bathroom. I also have humifier I take in there and just add water to it for extra steam but if don't have one the shower steam can help too.
I'm so glad I found you! After spending a lot of money on my baby girl... She still not doing well. She's lost so much weight. Her first flare up was in July, 6 months later another. Both times the vet gave her a antibiotic shot that is to last for 10 days. Not working the second time. I've bought so many different cat food and treats. She only wants people food. She won't eat wet cat food or dry. She is so very weak and my heart is breaking.
She needs supportive care- ie being given water via oral syringe or subcu fluids. Squirt in a liquified canned food. As for treatment consider L-lysine, eldberry extract
Your videos have been putting me at ease, I came home today and my 7 month old Binx ran up to me and his eye was swollen. The wash cloth has helped his eye so much already, don’t think he as FIV but bringing him in soon just to get him checked out. Gussie was too cute btw! 😸
I rub the triple antibiotic cream around outside if eyes and that helped my cat. Also a antibiotic cream that worked amazing that stupid California banned because it worked too good. Forgot the name though. Everyone forgot to add pink Himalayan salt or Epson salt in vaporizer to bring out nasty stuff like at beach ,haha.
Thank you for providing this info doctor. My 1 year old cat got an upper respiratory infection from the animal shelter as a kitten. I adopted her at 6 weeks old. At that time she wasn’t doing well at all, not eating or drinking, sneezing, snot shooting out of her nose, lethargic, and draining eyes, high fever as well. The vet at that time prescribed antibiotics and gave a fluid injection in her subcutaneous tissue for dehydration. She’s still trucking along now, has a big appetite but the problem is her eyes still drain a brown color discharge everyday. I wipe it with a warm cloth. I think she has the virus and will carry it for life. I will try the lysine.
I appreciate all you share. It helps so many be better aware of their pets health. Would you consider doing a video on treating eye and respiratory infections in kittens?
The humidifier and lavender oil had been working wonders for the sneezing that was the only symptom my older cat had. She’s had the treatment since last Thursday when I bought the oil and humidifier
I read that somewhere after using it for my little poowie cat for weeks and weeks and he finally got better and then I read that. I put it on his nose and eucalyptus on their chest and it worked but yes if like to know if it's harmful. It seemed to really help them breath and get better.
Thank you. Just had my cat at the vet, over $700 she's really not much improved. Was sent home with eye drop, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, etc going to go natural from now on.
@@brendat5527 hi, I gave her this paste called enisyl-f ... there's another name for it, I'll add if I remember. I washed her eyes with cooled teabags. And gave her very wet food because she wasn't drinking much. That was my biggest worry that she would become dehydrated. I've kept her on the paste, she gets some every now and then and I don't feed her much fish. As I understand it cat's that have had flu shouldn't have much, if any fish.
I’m tending to six feral kittens and a majority of them have had it and it went, and it came back just a couple of days ago. It’s heartbreaking and honestly a little overwhelming. I can’t imagine how they feel. We just clean their eyes and some sort of eye drops
Omg, my baby had it and we took her to the vet. She got antibiotics, eye drops and pain meds. Well all of my cats got it but this one got it the worst. Now she's got an awful cough!! It's new... I'm terrified... I haven't heard him mention a cough yet... I dunno what to do. I'm paying a vet bill for another kitty... 😔
Bro thank you so much I have been asking friend who have cats and they just said its bacteria and stuff but it was kind of obvious it wasnt thank you so much you explained a lot hopefully my cats will get better
My kittens have this & it’s pretty bad. I didn’t even know mom had this virus until I took my kittens to the vet to get checked out & I was told it could get passed through mom.... I feel so bad...
Wish I would have known this years ago. I had a cat who discharged from the nose and eyes. A vet diagnosed him with this disease that would get worse and I was told there was nothing I could do and to put him down. It was one of the most difficult things I had to do. His blood test they said he had an infection and his kidneys were affected. Knowing what I know now, I know I was lied to. My cat never changed his appetite and hunting habits. But he sneezed and drank water alot!
I have a kitten that at 6 weeks old caught the herpes virus from a rescue cat with a runny eye. The kitten stopped nursing but drank so i put 500mg capsule of lysine in their water. The kitten was better in 24 hrs and started nursing again. the cat and kitten i have been keeping on lysine in the water since and will keep them on it until the kitten is older and weaned
I am confused about L lysine now. My 6 month old cat has Herpes and I bought a tub. However reading recent articles it says it is not good to use this. I am now at a loss to know what to do.
Thank you soo much my 12 yr old cat has been having issues coughing, sneezing ect. I immediately put him in a warmer more cozy room in the house put him on wet food and have a humidifier running in his room 24-7 and he has an appointment with his kitty doctor Saturday morning because I am soo concerned. I've had him for 10 years and this is the first time this has ever happened and momma is big time worried.
Our cat, who has always been healthy…started discharging in his right eye about 3 months ago. It spread to his left eye and he also has a runny discharge from his right nostril. It seems chronic now despite the fact that I clean away the crusted dark goop that accumulates in the corner of his eyes and nostril as soon as I see it 2-3 times per day with warmed green tea. It hasn’t worsened, but it won’t stop. I can’t imagine where he picked it up as he’s not in contact with other cats. It sounds like what you are describing here but the only symptoms are the discharge.
How's your cat doing? My cat is in the same position- always been healthy but showing the same symptoms. Her eye has cleared up over the week but she's still sneezing.
Same thing.. seemed to get better…then flared back up. He’s got a snotty right nostril that won’t clear up…and eyes are still weeping….still treating with green tea. Glad your girls eyes have at least dried up. Don’t know where this came from as our cat is very isolated.
How’s your cat doing now? Mine has been going through the exact some issues for almost 2 months now. I’m thinking it’s chronic at this point too. Have been doing lots of home remedies because giving his antibiotics will help for like 1 week and then just flare back up again
I have 3 cats with the herpes virus. I rarely have flare ups. I use lysine powder everyday, and each cat has their own food bowl. I also got a fountain type water bowl with a filter that I change often. This prevents them from getting germs. I also limit change. It's hard at times, but changes cause flare ups.
@@VeterinarySecrets Dr. Jones, with the new research on the efficacy of L-Lysine treatment; what is your opinion on its use? New studies, they say, shows it is not effective and even could be harmful and exacerbate the disease. IDK who the studies were funded by but it would be good to know as the veterinary powers that be could be doing want us helping our kitties at home; or it could be a legitimate study. Also, does it make them sleepy? Does it increase resting respiratory rate? My 9 month old tuxedo, Sebastian has been on it for several days to a week and seems sleepier or sedate. He has calicivirus which is why we tried it. Thanks for any information! Love your videos. Thank you so much!! ❤️
My cat is having a flare up. He already takes lysine and I’m a bit desperate bc he’s not eating well and he’s an orange fat cat.... so for him not to eat he must be suffering. Thank you so much!
@@VeterinarySecrets sry to bug you just lost a cat to a freak accident tetanus or rabies he was an indoor cat that went outside in a little court yard supervised for 5 mins might of ran over to place that had a hole or something and got bit or stepped in garden soil that had very dangers soil spores because the snow/ice just melted the day before so low oxygen and thats when spores are the worst he had lockjaw and drooling and right before that he was walking around the whole kitchen/Livingroom and started to fall over because his paws could not stand up
I'm doing organic cat food, and at Sprouts they have SOVEREIGN SILVER BIO-ACTIVE SILVER FOR IMMUNE SUPPORT 8oz Dropper Ultimate Refined of Colloidal Silver. I usually put 5-6 drops in my cats water, and once a day put 1 dropper eye each day you'll see a difference very soon stay away from GMO foods and try using Alkaline water. My cats eyes were so bad the vet in Oceanside,CA gave me oitment that made it even worse not to mention my bill.BUT THIS WORKS FOR MY CAT GUYS. ALL HOLLISTIC
Any idea of what to do for ulcers or agenesis? My kitten have this in his eyes! I really appreciate what you do & how you tell us pet parent’s. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work!
I am pretty sure my cat had all of this for at least three months all this sneezing I finally got it under control with medication in the nebulizer, giving him breathing treatments plus lysine and then I went out of town and I think I stressed him out by leaving him at the boarding place now he has pink eye and blepharitis and it’s to the point where I cannot see his eyeball. All I see is his eyelids and third eyelid. All swelled up. I keep going to the veterinarian. What can I do ? I wanna be able to see his eyeball and I can’t because his eyelids looks swollen.! They gave me I ointment which is an antibiotic, but I can’t even get the ointment close to his eyeball because I cannot get to his eyeball because the eye lids are in the way..
I just subscribed I have been watching for about a month now I'm sorry I didn't subscribe sooner but I just want to tell you thank you you have helped me with my cats a lot with your remedies right now I'm dealing with the feline herpes virus my mail is so sick and my little female is sick too and I'm so worried that if I don't get them under control the other two will get it so I've been trying to keep them separate as possible but your suggestions work and I just thank you so so much
Thank you so much. Awesome video. God Bless you. One of my cats was diagnosed with the herpes virus. She's a rescue when I found her I thought she was missing an eye. One of her eyes was closed shut. Months later they diagnosed her with the virus. I've been giving her the Llysine. Wonderful video.
I used water boild from neem leaf take a handful of the leafs and boil with water till the colour of the water changes to dark yellow.. I than i use the water and spray it on the effected area twice a day and about 2 mil slightly diluted with water till it gets light yellow then I make her swallow it you got well in two days
Thank you so much for posting this video. I currently have a cat that’s going through a flare-up. I just started giving him the lysine. How long will it take to kick in? He’s sneezing non-stop. :(
My cat Kouga (co-g-a) has rhino. He did sneezed the week I brought him home from the NHS. Then he stopped a couple days after that. His vet said stress caused it to flare up. I haven't had any other issues with his rhino.
I have always did a little rescuing on the side and I rescued an orange kitten with a terrible eye infection. Took him to the vet twice and then that vet recommended a specialist, Kitty ophthalmologist. Almost $200 dollars later I was told that he had feline herpes and it possibly may have already spread to my other two cats. I was heart broken. I’m here to for these natural remedies. Thanks.
I thought cats would get the same diseases we get. They can get Aids, Anorexia, Leukaemia, Influenza, which is quite shocking. The fact that they can get Herpesvirus too is quite terrifying, especially when it's VD.
Thank you so much for doing these helpful videos! Wow so glad I ran across your channel! Have dogs cats kittens and horses! Ha 😊 Our new kitten had an eye infection, draining and closed a couple weeks ago so I put apple Vinegar on the back of his neck soaked on a rag and It went away, as far as I could tell! Well...this last week has a bump on his nose that has hair on it and his breath stinks. The bump or cyst is growing everyday. Eats and plays like he's not sick. Wondering if If it's ralated to this virus. Have animals near him and hope they won't catch it. He was sneezing but quit. Can't wait to check out all your videos! Thank you so much for offering your service to animals! Peace always:)
my cat might have herpes he has almost all the symptoms but we cant afford to take him to the vet because its like 40 dollars for a office visit and he is around 10 years old and he really needs to go to another home i dont want to give him up because he is the best cat ever but if we cant get enough money i will have to rehome him to someone that can take him to the vet
We moved house 3 months ago (which stressed the cats first of all) and now have carpeted floors plus ducted heating for the first time since getting the cats and dog from a shelter 11+ years ago. All three animals are scratching more (no fleas) and have all had a slight discharge from their eyes at one stage. One cat, however, is sneezing like crazy atm with lots of congestion :-( I have just plugged in the humidifier and am ordering more for other areas of the house. I will give colloidal silver for the anti-viral effects and shall get some L-lysine, too. Thank you so much for your advice. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all goes :-)
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you. One cat is on the up, though she seems to go between constipation and leaking a little liquid poo, about once every month. The vet checked her out, said her stomach and stools felt normal, ran some bloods and wasn't concerned. We are changing her diet to see what happens with her stools. The other cat has just today gone off her food and is very quiet 😔 It's possible that she caught the cold, though she's not really showing any other obvious symptoms. She did a few days ago eat a small amount of old dry cat food about 2 days ago, that didn't smell right - had been in the garage for about two months. Could this have had an effect, even if I took it straight off her when I noticed it looked a bit weird?
I bet you'd have a lot more success if you looked into whole herbs. They are much safer than the man-made "natural" isolates which only create more problems down the road (and really are not very natural when you think about it).
Sleeping Lioness - Watch my video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aAjVtD8JX-c.html . Give the Saline solution eye drops as described 4-5 times per day in both eyes.... and if the virus is more deeply rooted, use Lomatium Dissectum, a natural herb grown in nature which is a strong anti-viral. I use the preparation known as LDM-100 by Barlow herbal up to 2 drops 2 to 3 times a day for a cat under 10 pounds. You can mix it in food, divide the dose in half give 2x as many doses throughout the day and dilute in chicken broth or mix with a Slippery Elm syrup and give 5 minutes to 30 minutes before meals. I hope that helps.
Thanks for this. I'm going to give the supplement a try. My poor boy was born from a cat hoarder situation. Luckily his herpes only affects the eye, he doesn't seem to have nasal problems, but it is still unpleasant for him. Hopefully I will return here in a few months and have good results!
My cats are indoor cats I have three they have never been in contact with any other cat i’ve had them going on three years and now they had an outbreak of the herpes virus it started with one and now all three have it my concern is it started with one and I took him to the vet and it took a week to get back the results letting me know exactly what it was they did put them on Antibiotics while we waited for the test results and now that he’s getting a little better my other two are starting with the sneezing and watery eyes I just don’t know since my one cat is getting over it and the other two are Just starting their symptoms Will my other cat get another flareup while he’s still recovering , Sadly the vet I’m going to is no help
Thank you very much for the video, it has helped me understand a lot! I need to know in your video you state the time frames to get the cat vaccinated. My cat is now 1 year and 5 mos old , is it too late to get him vaccinated? I never knew that cats could get sick like this. I am sure that my Tiger has this virus . He has the sneezing spells and also sometimes coughing spells, he has the red swollen eyes that is watery and he also has mucus when he sneezing flying out from his nose. When he first started doing these spells we thought he had like hairballs and was stuck in his throat but its been about 6 I just feel so bad for him. He seems like he is suffering a lot. Only thing is it comes and goes so I thought he was having asthma attacks as well.
I was just at the house of a cat foster and all of her cats are sneezing like a squeaky toy and acting like they have a hairball would that be a herpes virus?
I see our little kitten, I clean his eyes but is so heartbreaking to see him like this, I have another baby she was the one we actually adopted this baby came to our house out of nowhere. He had the virus and I am concerned for our 10-week-old kitten but she loves him and goes everywhere even if he is in the carrier she grabbed her yarn and played next to him. Thank going at 2 am to put humidifier for the baby cat and getting my L-Lysine later.
Hello everyone I'm Crystal from North florida. I have Smitty the kitty and her six kittens and each one of them has an eye issue. They are abandoned cats. But I have been feeding them behind the shop that I work at everyday and cleaning their faces twice a day. I wish there was more I could do I cannot bring them home I have four pitbulls at the house but they are all so beautiful and sweet. Please say prayers for me to be able to continue to take care of them until I can rehome them God bless everyone here
Hi .I have 10 week old kitten one if his eye look like its coming out .:( um its bleeding. And I really don't have money to take him to a vet .I NEED HELP .WOULD THIS terramycin work ????
L-Lysine works magic for my herpes I take 3000 milligrams twice a day for the first two days and its gone on the third day.. As soon as I take it the pain of the sore dissipates within an hour .... Its magic.. and I'm pretty sure it will work wonders for your cat also. if you have feral cats maybe you can put some drops in some can food out side but you'll have to be diligent and do it for a long time as most of the cats to get some for a few days.. Good advice Doctor.
The problem with L-Lysine is that it really isn't natural. It is a man-made isolate. Man-made isolate food supplements use only parts of plants - not the whole thing which is perfectly balanced with all the buffers that whole herbs grown in Nature have. The unfortunate truth is that man simply can NOT improve on Nature when it comes to reversing chronic and degenerative conditions. The man made supplements will stimulate but also enervate (weaken). Needless to say, when you take L-Lysine for Herpes, all you do is force the virus deeper into your body. It is bound to come back again and probably will be worse when it returns. Whole herbs on the other hand - especially the anti-viral herbs actually eliminate the problem and they certainly won't make the problem worse because the body can recognize it, use it and eliminate what it can't use. The man made isolates, like drugs aren't recognizable and are just stored adding to the wastes clogging the lymphatic system.
I have a wild cat that live in our neighborhood, we occasionally feed him. But now a days he is having troubled vision, a thin film over his eyes and discharge too. He don't allow anyone near him. He even only eats when we we leave after keeping food for him near him ( he is always like that). What should I do?
I recently adopted a new kitten and had him join my two cats at home. Although after a few days he was sick and so was my other cat. I kept calling around to get an appointment with a vet. I finally lucked out and was told the kitten had herpes. I didn’t know that was a thing and was only given eye drops. So very much appreciate your videos 🙏🏻 thank you! Grant you would like to know what long term effects this might have? Do they get over it?
My kitten hasn’t improved that much on her right eye and I’ve been trying black tea for 3 days now.. she eats and drinks water and plays a lot I’m just worried about her eye still because she’s loosing fur around it so that means she’s still scratching it :/
Veterinary Secrets she doesn’t have eye discharge, she just keeps closing her eye every now and then, her eye lids are red if I check them tho, do you think this virus is the reason?
God bless you because no Animal "hospital" near me seems to either care or even want my money to assist today and mine is coughing like she is going to die. .
I did try L lysine paste in food for three days and it unfortunately caused me cat to quit eating entirely - If you are going to try this method try the treats or something else .. it’s too sad watching a sick 8 month old cat now completely adverse to its food
