I have 2 cats. Max a Persian, age 22 months and Misty a Ragdoll age 3.

I housed them at an Animal Clinic
while I was on a vacation.

When I returned, both were ill. I took
them to another Animal Clinic for a
second opinion. That vet diagnosed
Herpes. Today, it was confirmed by
a vet that they both indeed have Herpes. (Lab Test: Colorado)

I am shocked ! I subscribe to Cat Fancy and I thought I knew everything about
cats. My precious cats have never been ill; are current with their shots and now they are recovering from this lifelong disease.

I would like to hear from anyone regarding this health concern.
