Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. There are many viruses so it is difficult to say for sure what this could be. Feline herpes virus is something we see quite common in cats so this may be what he has. Lysine supplementation typically helps shorten the duration of the viral infection and severity. I would make sure that he is tested for feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukemia virus. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
