Hi everyone, I am so glad to have found this forum!
We just adopted 3 cats from a local shelter. Onyx is 1 year old and has an eye problem over most of one cornea, can't really see much out of that eye but it does not slow him down much, he's so playful!
Took him to the vet yesterday and she said it was probably caused by untreated herpes as a kitten. He currently has a swollen lower lip and bald patches at the base of his tail, she thought these were from allergies to his plastic food/water dish which I have replaced. We also did test for parasites/ringworm and will know later.
My question is, what is a herpes flare up and what should I be watching for with that, and when/how often? Thanks for any help/advice!!
