Feline herpes virus can be very debilitating and require intensive nursing and supportive care until pain is reduced and appetite improves., In most cases the cat will become a lifelong carrier, having relapses especially during periods of stress or change. A number of human medications such as famciclovir can be used but can be very difficult to get in appropriate sizes for small kittens. A high lysine food may help and in the long term, regular vaccination can help to reduce the impact of the disease
