Hello everyone.
I have an 11 month old sweetheart who I got when he was a couple of months old. He came from the shelter, however I rescued him from Facebook where someone was giving him away. I took him straight to the vet for a check-up where he was diagnosed with Feline Herpes. He had a little eye discharge and they prescribed Terramycin. He hasn't had any issues with it since then until now. Two weeks ago he got diarrhea and I took him to the vet. After running all kinds of tests, they couldn't figure out why. He was sent home with four different medications to be given through out the day. He has finished his medications and diarrhea has cleared. However I think the illness and stress has caused him to have a flare up. He was winking alot with one eye, sneezing, and seemed really tired. Not his usual crazy self. I have been giving him his Terramycin ointment, washing his eyes with a warm rag every few hours, and put him in the bathroom with the shower steaming it a couple times a day. I have ordered new Lysine as the last Lysine I got him he hated. Also ordered him the probiotic the vet had him on as he ran out. He still has a good appetite and is drinking alot.
My questions are:
Is there anything more I can do for him?
Is there other things to prevent flare ups besides Lysine. I have heard amino acids are good. Is that true?
If he gets the FVR vaccine would help or could it possibly hurt?
I am sorry for the rambling, but this little guy is amazing. He does alot for my emotional health and I want to make sure he is ok. Thank you for any advice.
