Feline herpesvirus type-1 (FHV-1) is the most common viral cause of ocular surface disease in cats. Many antiviral drugs are used to treat FHV-1, but require frequent topical application and most lack well-controlled in vivo studies to justify their clinical use. Therefore, better validation of...

No evidence-based treatment guidelines exist for any ophthalmic conditions of dogs and there is limited published evidence supporting treatments of feline herpes viral keratitis (FHVK) in cats. The aim of this study was to document the current treatment patterns of canine prolapsed nictitans (PN)...

The clinical aspects, diagnosis, and treatment of Feline Herpes Virus (FeHV-1) are discussed highlighting the principles behind treatment and on the efficacy and safety of some of the topical and oral antiviral agents available in the market.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of topical ophthalmic aciclovir applied five times daily as a treatment for feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) keratitis in a group of cats in a first-opinion practice setting.

Background: Feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1) is a common cause of ocular and upper respiratory disease in cats and kittens, and a potential cause of eosinophilic dermatitis. Hypothesis: The systemic anti-herpes drug, famciclovir (Famvir; Novartis), would be effective in the clinical management of...

Treatment variation in medicine may be driven by evidence gaps, clinician factors, and patient preferences. Although well-documented in human medicine, variation in clinical management is relatively unexplored in veterinary practice. Clinical vignette questionnaires were administered to a cross...

Feline herpes virus-1 (FHV-1) is ubiquitous in the cat population and is a major cause of blindness for which antiviral drugs, including acyclovir, are not completely effective. Recurrent infections, due to reactivation of latent FHV-1 residing in the trigeminal ganglia, can lead to epithelial...

We herein describe a feline case of facial dermatitis whose histopathological features resembled to those of FHV-associated ulcerative dermatitis. A 3-year-old, intact male domestic short-haired cat was presented with 2-years history of pruritic dermatitis that initially appeared on periocular area ...
