Some viral infections, like Herpes, are never cleared and there can be flare ups in the future. However other virus like Corona virus, can be cleared if the immune system of your cat is strong enough. If your veterinarian can diagnose the specific virus they can give you a better idea of what Lily's prognosis is for this infection.
