    MooShoo has a herpes virus in his eyes. The breeder failed to treat it so he's partially blind from the scar tissue that formed on his pupils. Hopefully you've caught Hermes virus in time to treat it without any damage.

    I'm sorry to hear that he has herpes. There are several other PT'ers that have cats with this and I think that some of them give their cats Lysine. You may want to pm critter crazy about this because I think that her Mocha also has this. Good luck.

    I've actually used L-lysine when I feel like I'm getting a cold sore, and they've also used L-lysine with the FIV+ cats at the shelter. There was also an Immune Support herbal capsule that we would take apart and mix in their canned food. I used that with Bear because his immune system was so weak. Viruses are nasty little things to deal with, because they go away when they feel like, unlike the bacterial infections that will clear up with antibiotics.
