First of all, I'd like to say "hi' to everyone. I am new in this forum. I have a few questions regarding my beloved cat. He is 6 years old and recently diagnosed with gingivitis. The vet gave him antibiotic treatment for a week. The thing is that few days after he started his meds, he showed other feline herpes virus symptoms, like sneezing and lethargy. Actually he already had an feline herpes episode when he was 2. This is his 2nd time. Now the med is finished and he is still sick. I am not sure what to do. Should I take him back to the vet and get him more antibiotic treatment and perhaps an anti-inflammatory shot as well? I don't like the idea of him taking too much meds. It only weakens his immune system in the long run. Do the FHV symptoms get resolved by themselves eventually? Do you think that he could get his teeth cleaned or even removed when he is still sick? What is the best treatment for chronic gingivitis? I am probably asking too many questions for a first time visitor p
