My girl has been having issues for years and no vet has offered this much help with her herpes. Thank you!
You're welcome
You've explained more in the first 5 seconds than any of the vets I've ever been to.
THIS! YES! THANK YOU!
My kitten just passed from this tonight. It was going to be his 1st birthday in a few days. He’s no longer in pain but I wish I could’ve done more. Our vet and I tried so much and i know he knew he was loved by all that got to experience his beautiful self. He had so much love around him and led a great life while he was here. Sorry to dump this here. Please go hug and kiss your kitty babies.
my baby is diagnosed with this too, shes less than a year old and completely blind
I'm so sorry for your loss guys, I just had to surrender my cat because of this. I couldn't afford her vet care. I pray she gets rehomed to someone that loves her as much as I do, but Im expecting the worst.
I have so much respect for a vet. They have to be sooo smart becuz animals cant tell u whats wrong or how much they hurt..... God bless all u vets out there
Thanks!
@@VeterinarySecrets And they also hurt as much as the parents of the animal do, but they cannot show it , they have to be objective. As in any profession there is a flip side.
actually, vets are even smarter than that. Human doctors only know about healing one animal - humans. With just a few variables for male/female. Vets have to know about all animals !!! cats, dogs, horses, fish, birds, hamsters, snakes etc etc.... and each animal has it's own metabolism, skeleton, variables, etc etc......
Amen to that , thank for looking after our fur babies ❤️❤️❤️
Great information without asorbing a huge vet bill and keeping your cat on natural remedies vs steroids which damages their kidneys.
Thanks Rebecca
Thank you for this video, my poor Persians both have it, and have been spending so much money at vet for each flare up because I get so scared, this made me feel so much better & im gonna try all of this!
Thank u for being so friendly to us.
Thank you so much...your videos have been helping us for years now and I'm so very appreciative of you and everything you are doing.
Thank you.
This is amazing information to anyone who is having these concerns with their pets . THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT !
You're welcome, Robin.
Keep on the great work Dr Dagba may God continue to strengthen you.
This is a great video, thank you!! Very helpful
Your videos have been putting me at ease, I came home today and my 7 month old Binx ran up to me and his eye was swollen. The wash cloth has helped his eye so much already, don’t think he as FIV but bringing him in soon just to get him checked out. Gussie was too cute btw! 😸
I rub the triple antibiotic cream around outside if eyes and that helped my cat. Also a antibiotic cream that worked amazing that stupid California banned because it worked too good. Forgot the name though. Everyone forgot to add pink Himalayan salt or Epson salt in vaporizer to bring out nasty stuff like at beach ,haha.
Thank you very much Doc. This is a very useful video. Cheers.
Well organized, informative, and articulated video... I hope will help my cat. Thank you.
Thank you for watching. Let me know how it goes.

My cat has his! I just adopted him 3 weeks ago and noticed he had a flu. Sneezing constantly and had yellow eye buggers :( took him to the vet, discarded aids and leukemia and they told me he probably had herpes virus. They gave him a treatment and it worked for like a week but the symptoms have started showing again 😢 good thing is he’s super active and has a good appetite so I hope that’s a good sign
You are a blessing 🙏 Many Thanks 🌞
Thank you, after giving Lysine to my kitten for only 3 days her uper respiratory infection is going away, and the sweling on her eyes is completely gone, she also eats and drinks better, she is happier and she likes to play more.
That's great to hear.
how much are you giving her?
Where do you Lysine?
@@hazztv6317 pharmacy

Thanks for all your holistic tips. Am getting it sorted now..👍🏼😊
you are most welcome :-)
Very good information!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you soo much my 12 yr old cat has been having issues coughing, sneezing ect. I immediately put him in a warmer more cozy room in the house put him on wet food and have a humidifier running in his room 24-7 and he has an appointment with his kitty doctor Saturday morning because I am soo concerned. I've had him for 10 years and this is the first time this has ever happened and momma is big time worried.
Wish I had watched this months ago. I've been going out of my mind trying to get my cat better. She has been through 4 different rounds of antibiotics and wasn't getting better. I finally started treating her naturally here at home giving her the steam showers and most of everything you mentioned here and she seems to be making progress. There's a few here I didn't know about.
I give my herpes kitty some L-lysine with food. It really helps! Have you tried it? The Kitten Lady is also a super informative channel. These 2 are amazing!
Just water steam or with herbal steam? Can you summarise? How is your cat now?
@Faima Arta Just regular steam. I take them in the bathroom and run the shower on hot to steam up the bathroom. I also have humifier I take in there and just add water to it for extra steam but if don't have one the shower steam can help too.
I LOVE your videos!
You the sweetest i appreciate this post ❤️
Glad to hear that.
Your wonderful. So much information. Thanks for all this holistic health information.
Thanks for watching!
So helpful!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for all the wonderful information god bless 😊
I just subscribed I have been watching for about a month now I'm sorry I didn't subscribe sooner but I just want to tell you thank you you have helped me with my cats a lot with your remedies right now I'm dealing with the feline herpes virus my mail is so sick and my little female is sick too and I'm so worried that if I don't get them under control the other two will get it so I've been trying to keep them separate as possible but your suggestions work and I just thank you so so much
I'm so glad I found you! After spending a lot of money on my baby girl... She still not doing well. She's lost so much weight. Her first flare up was in July, 6 months later another. Both times the vet gave her a antibiotic shot that is to last for 10 days. Not working the second time. I've bought so many different cat food and treats. She only wants people food. She won't eat wet cat food or dry. She is so very weak and my heart is breaking.
She needs supportive care- ie being given water via oral syringe or subcu fluids. Squirt in a liquified canned food. As for treatment consider L-lysine, eldberry extract
start feeding her boiled chicken and chicken broth. milk, goat milk best. real beef. Stop the cat food. See if helps.
This is really good information. Thank you
With natural supplements I was Cured totally within 17 days of taking DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam medications. Thank you for saving me 🌿🌿
I appreciate all you share. It helps so many be better aware of their pets health.
Would you consider doing a video on treating eye and respiratory infections in kittens?
Yes please
The humidifier and lavender oil had been working wonders for the sneezing that was the only symptom my older cat had. She’s had the treatment since last Thursday when I bought the oil and humidifier
That's good to hear.
i thought these are toxic to cats is that a myth?
I read that somewhere after using it for my little poowie cat for weeks and weeks and he finally got better and then I read that. I put it on his nose and eucalyptus on their chest and it worked but yes if like to know if it's harmful. It seemed to really help them breath and get better.
I am baffled as to how our cat has become sick. She does not go out, none of us are sick, and we rarely go out, so very little outside contact. Here our poor cat is stuffed up and sneezing. She is drinking, eating, and resting. I feel so bad for her and I am so grateful to have found your video, thank you for your help.
Great video, what kind of L-Lysin are you recommending?
thanks so much!! i have a neighborhood cat I"m trying to nurse back to health, this was very helpful!
You're welcome!
People like you are saints, thank you for seeing the value in your cat ❤
Thank you so much. Awesome video. God Bless you. One of my cats was diagnosed with the herpes virus. She's a rescue when I found her I thought she was missing an eye. One of her eyes was closed shut. Months later they diagnosed her with the virus. I've been giving her the Llysine. Wonderful video.
How much lysine did u give per day and for how many days?. Did u give lysine with antibiotics?
Love your channel and am grateful for your informative videos.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I currently have a cat that’s going through a flare-up. I just started giving him the lysine. How long will it take to kick in? He’s sneezing non-stop. :(
Bro thank you so much I have been asking friend who have cats and they just said its bacteria and stuff but it was kind of obvious it wasnt thank you so much you explained a lot hopefully my cats will get better
Thank you so much for the video. You are my favorite vet.
Thanks
Any idea of what to do for ulcers or agenesis? My kitten have this in his eyes! I really appreciate what you do & how you tell us pet parent’s. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work!
Keep lubricated, consider topical tea/honey
I am pretty sure my cat had all of this for at least three months all this sneezing I finally got it under control with medication in the nebulizer, giving him breathing treatments plus lysine and then I went out of town and I think I stressed him out by leaving him at the boarding place now he has pink eye and blepharitis and it’s to the point where I cannot see his eyeball. All I see is his eyelids and third eyelid. All swelled up. I keep going to the veterinarian. What can I do ? I wanna be able to see his eyeball and I can’t because his eyelids looks swollen.! They gave me I ointment which is an antibiotic, but I can’t even get the ointment close to his eyeball because I cannot get to his eyeball because the eye lids are in the way..
Thank You so much!!!
Thanks so much!
Thanks doc
Thank you for providing this info doctor. My 1 year old cat got an upper respiratory infection from the animal shelter as a kitten. I adopted her at 6 weeks old. At that time she wasn’t doing well at all, not eating or drinking, sneezing, snot shooting out of her nose, lethargic, and draining eyes, high fever as well. The vet at that time prescribed antibiotics and gave a fluid injection in her subcutaneous tissue for dehydration. She’s still trucking along now, has a big appetite but the problem is her eyes still drain a brown color discharge everyday. I wipe it with a warm cloth. I think she has the virus and will carry it for life. I will try the lysine.
Yes, that is what I would suggest.
lysine crushed up and add to food. Also zinc seems to help.
@@jackfrosty4674 where do u get it lysine
People lysene is tablets at Walmart or CVS or Walgreens. Liquid form would probably be easier. He says the doses too.
Very beautiful cat she looks alittle like my Apple who was euthanized last October how about your supplement with apple
Thank you so much for doing these helpful videos!
Wow so glad I ran across your channel! Have dogs cats kittens and horses! Ha 😊 Our new kitten had an eye infection, draining and closed a couple weeks ago so I put apple Vinegar on the back of his neck soaked on a rag and It went away, as far as I could tell! Well...this last week has a bump on his nose that has hair on it and his breath stinks. The bump or cyst is growing everyday. Eats and plays like he's not sick. Wondering if If it's ralated to this virus. Have animals near him and hope they won't catch it. He was sneezing but quit.
Can't wait to check out all your videos! Thank you so much for offering your service to animals!
Peace always:)
Thanks
Thank you so much

My kittens have this & it’s pretty bad. I didn’t even know mom had this virus until I took my kittens to the vet to get checked out & I was told it could get passed through mom.... I feel so bad...
Thank you very much for the video, it has helped me understand a lot!
I need to know in your video you state the time frames to get the cat vaccinated. My cat is now 1 year and 5 mos old , is it too late to get him vaccinated?
I never knew that cats could get sick like this. I am sure that my Tiger has this virus . He has the sneezing spells and also sometimes coughing spells, he has the red swollen eyes that is watery and he also has mucus when he sneezing flying out from his nose. When he first started doing these spells we thought he had like hairballs and was stuck in his throat but its been about 6 I just feel so bad for him. He seems like he is suffering a lot. Only thing is it comes and goes so I thought he was having asthma attacks as well.
I have a question ? I've been taking care of a stray cat, for two months she showed up with the inside of her lid covering her eye. She sleeps on my porch basically my cat. I have 4 cats inside my home, i took to the vet today. The vet said it looks like she had herpes at some point, gave me eye drops and pills and vaccinated her for herpes. I took her a shower gave her the meds. I just brought her outside which i didn't want too cause i cannot keep her in a carrier. I'm afraid for my other cats which i rescued them all from outside of my home. What should i do? He told me to get all my cats vaccinated but, it's alot of money and he didn't test her for herpes either. I don't want to leave her outside 😔 I stay outside with till 2 or 3am not to leave her alone.
Thanks so much,you just made many cats lives want to live now because this sickness is just horrible 😢
Thank you 🙏
I’m tending to six feral kittens and a majority of them have had it and it went, and it came back just a couple of days ago. It’s heartbreaking and honestly a little overwhelming. I can’t imagine how they feel. We just clean their eyes and some sort of eye drops
With natural supplements I was Cured totally within 17 days of taking DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam medications. Thank you for saving me 🌿🌿
Omg, my baby had it and we took her to the vet. She got antibiotics, eye drops and pain meds. Well all of my cats got it but this one got it the worst. Now she's got an awful cough!! It's new... I'm terrified... I haven't heard him mention a cough yet... I dunno what to do. I'm paying a vet bill for another kitty... 😔
Thank you
You're welcome!
I am confused about L lysine now. My 6 month old cat has Herpes and I bought a tub. However reading recent articles it says it is not good to use this. I am now at a loss to know what to do.
I recently adopted a new kitten and had him join my two cats at home. Although after a few days he was sick and so was my other cat. I kept calling around to get an appointment with a vet. I finally lucked out and was told the kitten had herpes. I didn’t know that was a thing and was only given eye drops. So very much appreciate your videos 🙏🏻 thank you! Grant you would like to know what long term effects this might have? Do they get over it?
I have a kitten that at 6 weeks old caught the herpes virus from a rescue cat with a runny eye. The kitten stopped nursing but drank so i put 500mg capsule of lysine in their water. The kitten was better in 24 hrs and started nursing again. the cat and kitten i have been keeping on lysine in the water since and will keep them on it until the kitten is older and weaned
Thank you so much for your videos. Is l-lysine safe for cats with ckd?
so i am not seeing sneezing or coughing what my cat has is a nose ulcer and seems to be depressed... thank you for this information you shared.
Is this similar to feline Leukemia? I've been looking through all your videos do you have a video on this?
Could you use claritin or reactine instead of octiven?
Any links to where I can purchase? I do foster care and have a litter of 9 that may have it.
Has anyone tried the honey treatment? If so does it work?
Dr jones! I hope you can help me with my concern i have with the new kitten i got for my sister. She seems to not want to pee at all in her litter and is always peeing on the floor or on the dogs beds on my bed and on the carpet instead! However she does her other buisness in the litter. Does she have uti? Thanks!
I rescued 5 kittens with herpes and chlamidia conjunctivitis. They were on antibiotics and now Started Famciclovir, looks like they are improving.
One thing i always find missing from explanation of animal diseases is the duration of symptoms and length of the illness.
We moved house 3 months ago (which stressed the cats first of all) and now have carpeted floors plus ducted heating for the first time since getting the cats and dog from a shelter 11+ years ago. All three animals are scratching more (no fleas) and have all had a slight discharge from their eyes at one stage. One cat, however, is sneezing like crazy atm with lots of congestion :-( I have just plugged in the humidifier and am ordering more for other areas of the house. I will give colloidal silver for the anti-viral effects and shall get some L-lysine, too. Thank you so much for your advice. I'm looking forward to seeing how this all goes :-)
Hope they are feeling better.
@@VeterinarySecrets Thank you. One cat is on the up, though she seems to go between constipation and leaking a little liquid poo, about once every month. The vet checked her out, said her stomach and stools felt normal, ran some bloods and wasn't concerned. We are changing her diet to see what happens with her stools.
The other cat has just today gone off her food and is very quiet 😔 It's possible that she caught the cold, though she's not really showing any other obvious symptoms. She did a few days ago eat a small amount of old dry cat food about 2 days ago, that didn't smell right - had been in the garage for about two months. Could this have had an effect, even if I took it straight off her when I noticed it looked a bit weird?
@@sharonjackson3963get a good air purifier,works wonders …😊
Dr. Jones...my kitten with two crusted eyes also has very rough bubbly breathing. Antiviral or antibiotic??? Can I get this on line or at the feed store....arghhh.
Dr. Jones what do you think of "Open Farm" dry catfood? The ingredients are high in protein. ty Marguerite
I stuck between thinking on of my kittens has herpes or an almost upper respiratory problem ): I'm getting some lysine to try and some kitten milk, but she will NOT bottle feed because she can't breathe through her nose.ive been giving her the steam house treatment i.e., taking her into the shower with me so she can breathe in the steam. I ordered a humidifier and a little infant nose suction thingy, but they're taking forever to get here. I've also been putting terramycin on her and her brother's eyes four times a day like told to do so. Help?
Hope you can help? My cat is currently with the vet, he has developed a severe eye infection. It looks like it is due to the herpes virus. He is a outdoor cat. The vet has gave topical eye drops and washed out the eye. He is also saying he might lose his eye and that it might be best to remove it. I want to do everything possible to save his eye.
Is the drops the best course of action do you think, when the infection is severe?
What about for kittens 4 weeks old with herpes conjunctivitis? it doesn't seem sever but the herpes conjunctivitis in her eyes look a bit severe
Thanks for this. I'm going to give the supplement a try. My poor boy was born from a cat hoarder situation. Luckily his herpes only affects the eye, he doesn't seem to have nasal problems, but it is still unpleasant for him. Hopefully I will return here in a few months and have good results!
Thank you. Just had my cat at the vet, over $700 she's really not much improved. Was sent home with eye drop, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, etc going to go natural from now on.
You’re welcome. Let me know how it goes.
@@VeterinarySecrets will do, thanks again.
Hi. May I ask what you ended up using? Currently going through the same thing with my kitten
@@brendat5527 hi, I gave her this paste called enisyl-f ... there's another name for it, I'll add if I remember. I washed her eyes with cooled teabags. And gave her very wet food because she wasn't drinking much. That was my biggest worry that she would become dehydrated. I've kept her on the paste, she gets some every now and then and I don't feed her much fish. As I understand it cat's that have had flu shouldn't have much, if any fish.
Flumax is the other name. I've ordered it online and direct from Vet Post in NZ (they're super fast and helpful). Good luck 🤗
I have a question, I was unable to find pediatric otrivin, is 0.1% Xylometazoline hydrochloride safe to still use for my stuffed cat
hope this video can help, thanks

Thank you for any help you can give i just never seen a cat shivering before even in extreme cold i covered the cage and let him rest
I am trying to buy pediatric otrivin but what I am finding comes in metered doses. Is that what I should buy? Is it possible to give that to a cat? I have never tried that. Thank you for all you do for our snuggle bugs.
My cat Kouga (co-g-a) has rhino. He did sneezed the week I brought him home from the NHS. Then he stopped a couple days after that. His vet said stress caused it to flare up. I haven't had any other issues with his rhino.

I was thinking that my cat has a food sensitively because her eyes ooz. now not so sure, she sneeze frequently. this comes and goes. thanks for you video. I never got her shots because she is an indoor cat. going to get the l lysine and start this to see if she improves.
You know what? I have to subscribe. :(
How about oral ulcers in kittens? Thank you doctor
How many dosage for echinacea 5 drops twice dialy ? Cause in my country there is only echinacea capsul 500 mg. Please answer Doctor, my cats was flu & until now they not recover yet
We took in a stray and he gave our 2 girls the virus and we have been using the lysine powder twice daily but the boys eye is still goopy any suggestions? No nasal or respiratory issues just a really wet and goopy eye everyday
Wish I would have known this years ago. I had a cat who discharged from the nose and eyes. A vet diagnosed him with this disease that would get worse and I was told there was nothing I could do and to put him down. It was one of the most difficult things I had to do. His blood test they said he had an infection and his kidneys were affected. Knowing what I know now, I know I was lied to. My cat never changed his appetite and hunting habits. But he sneezed and drank water alot!
No you weren't lied to. I have a cat with a very high load of herpes like it sounds like your cat had and none of these remedies help.
Correction, she's congested, not wheezing. Like hair ball congestion.
