Hi, Does anyone know about Feline Rhinotracheitis (Herpesvirus-1)?
I have always vaccinated my cat never let it lapse and now after her last Vet visit she became sick. I went back to the vet and had a very expensive test done called an IDEXX RealPCR Feline URD test.
The results came back as Feline Rhinotracheitis (Herpesvirus-1).
Does the FVRCP vaccine she has had not really protect cats? Could this result be a positive because she had the vaccine? last year? She only gets that FVRCP once every three years now.
This is the first time she has ever been sick. She is 5 years old and has never been out of my home except to go to the vet.
The vet will not accept responsibility for her catching it but I know it came from them. They claim anyone coming into my home could have brought it in from their cats. They also told me 90% of all cats have this herpes.
I would love to hear from anyone who knows about this subject.
