Started Archie on it this weekend. Everyone is getting some and Meowmy is thinking it would be good for HER to take, too.

His eye flared today.It's not confirmed it's FHV but it is acting like it. Eyelids swollen, clear/white weepy discharge. Poor baby.

Gave him an extra dose per suggestions on this site and it is in their water both fountain and still water dishes.

Strengthened immunity doesn't happen overnight, I don't think. So how long before I might start to see results?

If his eye isn't better in the AM he is going to the vet. She did suggest that he might have a mild underlying bacterial infection in there, too that flares up and calms down. I just know he doesn't like having a sore, runny eye.. .and I don't like it, either.

It can take a couple of weeks... but it can also *start* sooner... full effects in a few weeks to a month...
I personally do not take Bugsy to the vet during flares, even with runny eyes, My vet gave me some Terramicyn, and just told me to watch him closely... Unless it becomes really bad...
