Feline herpes virus infections are a common cause of eye problems in the cat. Affected cats exhibit a wide range of clinical signs with some even showing no clinical signs! There are many diagnostic tests available, but how do you select the most appropriate one? Dr Izak Venter will present a seminar on feline herpes virus infections and glaucoma in the dog and cat, where he will cover the basics of the disease and then present treatment options, including the latest, cutting edge developments.
