The latent process of feline herpes virus, how to treat feline herpes virus

After infection, the virus may persist in the body for a long time, the factors that cause this virulent state are not yet known, and even sometimes the virus and neutralizing antibodies will exist in the serum at the same time, the mechanism of this is still unknown, the carrier infected with the herpes virus will intermittently excrete the virus from the nose and throat, and the carrier may not have any clinical symptoms, or show symptoms of slow infection, but not the cat with slow infection is the carrier.

The herpes virus may not be visible during the incubation period, and it is possible for the cat owner to take good care of the cat.

If the environment in which the cat lives is clean, if the cat lives in a clean environment for a long time, the cat may have all kinds of bad conditions, and if the herpes virus incubation period still lives in such an environment, the cat may become serious, so it is recommended that the cat owner clean the environment at home, and do not let some unclean bacteria affect their cats.

Cats will need more nutrition at this time, especially lysine, so cat owners should pay attention to adding some nutrients to cats, staple food cat owners can choose ecological cat food with balanced nutrition, and can also prepare some fresh meat and fruits and vegetables for cats, and make nutritious cat meals for cats, and pay attention not to put too many seasonings when making. The cat owner can also prepare some meow nose and mix it into the cat's meal for the cat to eat together, which is also helpful to the cat.

Antiviral**: Omega-interferon, ribavirin, famciclovir, feline herpesvirus antibodies, L lysine, etc., all have good local and systemic antiviral effects.

Natural infection with feline herpes virus does not trigger the so-called solid im-munity like feline plague, so the immune response can only fight the disease, but not the infection, so mild clinical symptoms can still be observed when the herpes virus is reinfected 150 days after infection.

Viral neutralizing antibody titers are usually low and climb slowly, and some do not appear even after 40 days of infection, which may be due to the neutralizing antibody neutralizing the invading virus during the acute infection phase and depleting the antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxic effects.

Detection of nucleic acids:

Traditional PCR, nested PCR, and point-of-care PCR are now routinely used to detect the presence of feline herpesvirus DNA in conjunctival, corneal or oropharyngeal swab sampling, corneal scraping, aqueous humor, corneal bone decay, blood or biopsy.

Most primer designs use highly conserved fragments of thymidine kinase genes as primers. Molecular biology tests appear to be more sensitive than viral isolation or indirect fluorescent antibody staining.

Because even very small amounts of viral nucleic acid can be detected by PCR, but not necessarily related to disease, a positive PCR result must be interpreted with great care, as viral DNA may still be detected in the scratches of the cornea or tonsils even when the virus is non-proliferating**.

1. Isolate and clean the cat. When a cat has just contracted herpes, it is necessary to isolate it in time, because herpes can spread quickly through droplets. In order to ensure the health of the other cats in the house, the sick cat must be placed in a separate room to control its range of motion.

After quarantine, pet owners will wash all of their cat's belongings. Indoor floors and furniture should be wiped down with a diluted disinfectant.

2. Supplement nutrition for cats. When a cat has a herpes virus, the body's nutrients need to be replenished in large quantities. If the cat is malnourished or refuses to eat at this time, measures must be taken to forcefully feed it with a needle.

You can choose foods with strong flavors, such as canned food. You can also feed your cat some nutritional paste to supplement the body's basic nutrients.

3.In the early stages of herpes, blue cats are not so severe. At this time, paroxysmal coughing and sneezing may occur, the symptoms of conjunctivitis are significantly reduced, and the appetite is lost.

Pet owners are advised to feed their cats an appropriate amount of canned cat food. If you have eye problems, you can use some cat eye drops. However, if the cat has a fever and has a slow body temperature, you can always wipe the cat's meat pads with alcohol for physical cooling.

Then take them to the hospital and have them taken care of by the doctor.

4.Supplementation of high-quality lysine Due to the special physiological structure of the cat's body, lysine cannot be synthesized in the body, and a large amount of arginine exists. Cats are more susceptible to infection with the feline nasal branch, the pathogen of the nasal branch, the feline rhinotracheitis herpes virus, which relies on arginine replication and transmission, and lysine can fight against arginine, so it is necessary to give cats lysine.

Based on the experience of cat ownership, the following measures can be taken in the face of cats infected with feline herpes virus. But first we need to have a certain understanding of this virus. Feline herpes virus is a large virus that can easily cause nasal branches in cats.

The specific symptoms are sneezing, runny nose, paroxysmal cough, watery eyes, red and swollen eyes, and even conjunctivitis, mouth ulcers, fever, etc. Once your cat is found to have these symptoms, you should use these methods to help your cat recover faster.

1. Isolation and disinfection.

Feline nasal ramus is a high-risk upper respiratory tract infection that can be transmitted from cat to cat. Therefore, once the cat owner finds that the cat may be infected with the cat nasal branch, it is necessary to quickly disinfect the places where the cat has stayed, including the used kitchen utensils, and the cat litter also needs to be cleaned every day, and at the same time, it should be isolated separately to avoid infection to other cats.

2. Strengthen nutritional supplementation, especially lysine.

Cats are infected with this virus and are weak and need a lot of nutritional supplements, especially lysine. But not all lysine is suitable for cats, and cat owners can supplement cat lysine such as meow branch.

3. Take amoxicillin and get fever injections.

For symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and cough caused by the virus, cat owners can give their cats amoxicillin to alleviate these symptoms. At the same time, the cat's body temperature should be measured, if the cat's body temperature exceeds the degree, the cat owner will take the cat to the pet hospital for fever injections.

4. Other measures that cannot be ignored.

Some cats are infected with the virus, the eyes are often watery, cat owners can use meow drip net to clean the cat's eyes, some cats are also prone to mouth ulcers, cat owners can feed pet mouth pay and home fun vitamin B, external pet mouth green to help cats reduce trouble.

The cat's body is ulcerated, already red and swollen, may I ask what kind of virus it is?

In the early stage of the disease, it manifested obvious symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, such as increased body temperature, coughing, sneezing, foaming at the mouth, and tearing, and increased eye and nose secretions, which were serous at first, then purulent, and then depressed and decreased appetite.

When the cat herpes virus will have a runny nose, sneezing, poor spirit, etc., it may also affect the eyes and mouth in serious cases, and the cat will be more uncomfortable at this time, the cat owner should send the cat to the pet hospital in time, let the pet doctor help his cat, and take care of the cat after taking it home.

What are the symptoms of feline herpes virus?

When cats have feline herpes virus, they sneeze, heavily, and cough, followed by photophobia, conjunctivitis, and serous eye and nasal discharge. In addition, the cat's body temperature rises rapidly, and symptoms such as paroxysmal sneezing, deep tracheal cough, and ulcers on the tongue and upper jaw also often occur;

If there is a secondary infection of bacteria, then the cat's eye and nose secretions will appear pus-like. Chronic sinusitis, ulcerative keratitis, and panophthalmia may occur in cases of chronic infection, and infection in young kittens may cause severe conjunctivitis and ulcerative keratitis.
