I have never heard of Valtrex. A faint positive at 4months could indicate that
she has been exposed and will fight off the virus. Your situation is very
hopeful for that to happen. In the meantime I would boost her immune system
with vitamin C and lysine. Others on the list can give you more
Unless I am thinking of something else, Valtrex is a drug used to
control herpes outbreaks in humans (I only know this because
commercials are on TV all the time for it)
I've never heard of giving it to a cat.

If she has herpes, give Lysine - it's a proven winner. If I were
trying to address the FELV visue, what I usually use it Interferon or
ImmunoRegulin. Would *NOT* do Valtrex without more info
I missed something...is there going to be a ceremony for our beloveds who have

Please advise? Thanks!

We received 4 FELV kitties from a lady in Oklahoma back in 2005.
They were all about 8-9 years old at that time. One died shortly
after, a very fat sweet kitty but think the move upset her and she
stopped eating. Long story.
Felicity died 2 days ago - the morning of July 27. She had been
I take Valtex - it IS a med for humans who have herpes infections. Never heard
of it used for animals.

Gloria,
I am sorry that sweet Felicity has passed. She was very lucky to have you.
And what a wonderfully long life for an FeLV+ furbaby! Bless you for taking
those four in and loving and caring for them.

Hi Quentin,
Welcome to the group.
Bad idea on the Valtrex. Don't give your kitty any medication that your vet
has not recommended. I have never heard of Valtrex being used on cats.
Asparin and Ibuprofen are also no-no's, FYI. I have a cat that was diagnosed
with feline herpes and had a b

Wendy - I adopted just 3 days ago an almost five-year old cat who is FeLv
positive. (Didn't know it until I took her for testing the next day.) She
has no outward symptoms except partial loss of vision (and possibly some
hearing loss). Other than that, she is lively, playful and eats like a

I mean by high quality diet is a high protein, no grains if you can. Nothing

Valtex has been a wonder drug for me. After many years of flares on my
waistline and above (leaving scars), I have not had even ONE outbreak since the
Valtrex. It costs just $25 per month--which to me is a great bargain.
Don't believe I would try it on any animal without specific OK from a med
Hey Pat,
When we started Smookie on the lysine (no additives; can cause problems), we
gave her 500 mg. capsules that we opened and mixed in with her wet food twice a
day. So she was getting 1000 mg per day. Lysine is an amino acid, and it
interferes with the virus's ability to replicate. Sin
We "think" Mandy has only had the virus for about 5 months--but only because
the vision problem began at that time so it is really just a guess. The vet
said that the virus may attack most any part of the cat and he has seen
other cases where it did attack the vision. Thanks for the advice re
Another really good site that explains FeLV and all that goes along with it:

Pat,
It's possible Mandy's vision will return to normal when you figure out what's
causing the vision loss. Don't give up hope for that. I have not seen any
vision loss directly related to FeLV here in the past year and a half, nor have
I read anything about that. I have seen FeLV linked to
Thank you Wendy. Mandy's eyes do not look anything like the ones in the
Uveitis pictures. The pupils just do not dilate no matter what the
lighting. The pupils are always just a vertical slit--as if subjected to
intense light. The vet I saw darkened the room and used the "pencil" light

I'm so sorry to hear about "Miss Sue"
She was loved by you and she loved you too.
You had many years together even though it's never enough.
I know it will be hard with her being gone.
