Hello hello everyone! Today we are talking about FHV-1 or Feline Herpesvirus Type-1, also known as Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), which is one of the more common ailments that cats can catch but with proper treatment and early detection can be dealt with rather painlessly. However, as the pictures of Cheddar and Sheba below show, if you don't vaccinate and you don't catch the virus early it can cause lose of an eye and sometimes, in the most severe cases, even worse. As always, if you have any questions, as your vet immediately.
