What is the difference between cat nasal bran and cat herpes virus? How to prevent and treat it?

Cat nasal brans and herpes virus are both difficult diseases for cats. They are both diseases that affect the trachea and conjunctiva. The similarity is very high, but parents still need to know what the differences are so as not to be effective due to inappropriate treatment.

The feline herpesvirus virus enters the cat's body through the oral, nose, conjunctiva and other channels, thereby causing lytic infection of nasal mucosal epithelial cells, and thus spread to the conjunctiva, throat, trachea, bronchus and small bronchus. The lesions are local multiple necrotizing and inflammatory lesions. The full name of "cat's nose brachiitis" should be "cat's nose bronchitis". The typical symptoms are mainly respiratory infections caused by viruses, similar to frequent sneezing, runny nose, coughing, fever, cats are in poor spirits and do not eat. Because the virus invades the cat's eye conjunctiva, there is another characteristic that sick cats will have tears and lead to purulent secretions, conjunctiva edema, and in severe cases, it will lead to corneal ulcers and even blindness in cats.

What is the difference between cat nasal bran and cat herpes virus?

The initial symptoms of cat nasal bran are relatively mild and are often misdiagnosed as cat colds. The symptoms are mostly sneezing, tears, and runny nose. For inflammation in the body, we can use oral amoxicillin for children with fewer side effects for treatment. If the cat's nose branch is severe, it will continue to develop symptoms such as rhinitis, conjunctivitis, etc. In addition to taking amoxicillin, eye drops with anti-inflammatory and antiviral functions are also required to treat it.

Finally, if a cat is infected with the virus once, it will be carried for life, so treatment is greater than prevention. If the cat has not given a cat triple, cats over three months old should be given a timely injection to reduce the infection rate of cat nasal spine.
