Anyone have experience with a kitten with symptomatic herpes (wheezing, sneezing, eye weeping, etc.) they can share? My Juno had a URI when I adopted her at 4 months. It scared me, she seemed to be retching so badly (apparently, coughing and getting rid of mucus). We've been to three vets since then to get her various symptoms treated (I couldn't get into my vet of choice for six weeks). All three vets think she probably has herpes and that symptoms will persist to some degree until her immune system matures. She's six months now and seems healthy except for regular and frequent sneezing, mild stuffiness, and the occasional retch-cough (which still freaks me out when it happens).
For those who have been there, what did the progress look like? Did symptoms ever go away? Did you ever wonder if kitty also had an allergy that you were missing because you assumed it was herpes?
(FWIW, I am giving her lysine regularly).
