Hi all. I need some help! My Odis has been sick since shortly coming home from the vet..it started with an eye infection, which turned into a URI and finally got the confirmation that he has FHV.
Odis was on an antibiotic for two weeks and we started him on a lysine regime of 250 mg twice a day. We have done this for a month. He does really well then suddenly has a snotty day or two. He sometimes breaks into this weird "hacking" outbreak which our vet has said is his way of clearing his throat.
All throughout however, he has never lost his spirit. He is very lively and such a troublemaker!
Here is my dilemma though. He needs to get his shots ( I am not sure how long you can wait to give them their 3rd FVR-C-P [is for same as fhv? Does he still need this?] and rabies shot)and I was initially told by the vet tech that they won't do it if he is sick(before we learned he has fhv).
Well since he out breaks like once every two weeks, what do I do about his shots? Is it safe to just wait til he has a good day? I haven't called to ask the vet yet! I am unfamiliar with fhv (while I have done my research..living with it is another thing!) as Odis is the first kitten I ever had with it, and while I know you just have constant flare ups, how does this affect them getting their normal shots?
I appreciate any help! Sorry I am such a worry mum!
