(back to Special Needs) So we have seven fosters now, of which three are special needs; that is health needs. The Macros (Ramon, Philou and Fiorella) are FHV+ meaning they have the herpes virus. Feline herpes attacks the respiratory system. And they could have tongue, lips and mouth ulcers. It is chronic but quite bearable both for cat and owner.
They can only be adopted into a household that already has kitties with herpes or no other cats.
Considering that two siblings must be adopted together the Macros can be the answer to your prayers. When they were weeks old up to about two months they did have herpes symptoms; watery eyes, sneezing, congestion. Ramon had it the worst, Philou not so congested but had a nose ulcer and Fio didn't have one single symptom. Our vet told us she'd be the carrier, she still is fine and if nobody knew she comes from a litter with herpes, nobody could tell. Same for Philou, though he does have a scarred nostril.
Ramon's nose gets congested sometimes and his eyes tear but it is minimal.
They are fed good food, kept clean and I do add L-Lysine to their food wich helps. In photo Ramon looking lopsided.
