My cats have cat flu. Is it worth isolating them if they're exposed?

Question

Hi, I have 4 cats . Seem like I got an other round of cat flu coming. 1 of them has his eyes already swollen and sneezing. Today I heard the other ones sneezing as well but there isn't any discharge yet from their eyes / nose. I'm just wandering if there is any point to isolate them or it wouldn't really make a difference at all by now? I would only separate them if it's absolutely necessary since my cats are really used to each other and they look very stressed if the others are not around. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 8 months and 27 days old | 6 lbs

At this point they have all been exposed so there is no point in isolating any of them. The only thing you won't want to do is introduce a new cat or let these cats outside. You need to quarantine your cats to your house until they are well. I suggest you nebulize the ones showing sneezing and swollen eyes. I would also recommend you give them all a lysine supplement to boost their immune systems. If they don't like the chews/treats you can search around because it comes in various forms - powder, gel, treats, etc. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
