New cat + Old Cat with FHV

Hello, I will be taking in a new kitten in about a month, he will be vaccinated before coming into my house.

My current cat has had a mildly puffy pink / watery eyelid for a while now (she's a year old).  

She was on antibiotics twice when I first got her for the respiratory infection she came with, and she gets 250mg lysine powder and 125mg lactoferrin added to her homemade ground raw food in the morning and evening (if I add any more lysine she wont eat the food) which has been the routine for many months now, although I'm not sure if either really have an effect on her to be honest.   

She has never had any antiviral medicines, and is probably due for some booster vaccinations though. 

My question is should I bother with either of those things before the new cat comes?  The new cat is coming from a good / healthy home.  

Her eye is not terrible... it doesn't get very red and she doesn't have any ulcers... she just goes through phases of it being slightly puffy and squinting for about a week out of the month..and it never really stops having mild discharge even when it looks perfect, I just don't really want to bring him into the home and immediately have him catch whatever makes her eye inflamed.  

I know there's a lot of stuff on these topics already and I have read through tons of it already....  I just feel like at this point there's not much I can do but try to keep her healthy and hopefully his immune system is strong enough to not be constantly troubled with this like her.

What would you guys do?  I know there's the other vaccinations that come in the typical 3 way, but will having her booster with the FHV one in it help at all since she's already infected?

Like.... would it stimulate her immune system more or is her immune system already as stimulated as its going to get since she's constantly having mild flare ups.

Should I talk to my vet about antiviral medicines... does a slightly watery slightly squinty eye justify that?  

i don't have a huge income, were getting another cat both to give it a home and because she seems lonely / under-stimulated with the amount of play we provide her (which is moderate).

I can afford more vet bills if it is necessary but I'm just not really sure if it's necessary / will be all that productive anyway.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Did you talk to your vet about whether or not she has the Herpes virus? Your vet should test the cat though and make sure it is Herpes. It could be something else.

If she is infected with the Herpes virus, then no vaccine can take that back. It's there for life, and she will need to be treated with supplements or anti-viral drugs (during flareups). However, the question remains about the new cat. I would definitely make sure he's fully vaccinated before bringing him home. I think the HPV vaccine takes more than one shot to complete. I know that with many human vaccines, antibody levels take time to build up, up to a few weeks, so you should ask the vet just when it is safe to bring the cat home after he's has his shots.

Thank you, I spoke with my vet but I think I may need a second opinion as she didn't have much to say and seemed to think I was overreacting since her symptoms are never terribly bad and the new cat will likely be exposed even if her symptoms are suppressed a little better with an anti-viral.  She seemed to think further testing would just be a waste of money.    I do have another vet that I go to sometimes and they are great but also cost triple... so I'm considering getting a second opinion.
