| About: | Feline herpesvirus and Chlamydia are common pathogens of cats all around the world producing a wide variety of ocular diseases from mild conjunctivitis to blinding keratitis or symblepharon. We will discuss how we reach a diagnosis and how they are best managed. Is there a good PCR test? Should I use a topical or systemic antiviral drug? How frequently? For how long? Do I also need to use antibiotics? Is lysine effective? What drug clears Chlamydia? What do I do when they don't get better? We will address all of these questions in a logical fashion choosing only the clinically relevant material from all of the latest research. |
