Preventing feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) involves several key steps to keep your cat healthy and reduce the risk of infection:
- Vaccination: Ensure your cat receives the initial FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) vaccine and annual boosters. This vaccine helps protect against FHV-1.
- Minimize Stress: Stress can trigger the virus to become active. Maintain a calm and stable environment, avoid sudden changes, and use calming aids like Feliway if needed.
- Good Hygiene: Regularly clean your cat’s living area, litter box, food and water bowls, and bedding. Use pet-safe cleaning products to avoid toxic exposure.
- Limit Exposure: Keep your cat indoors to reduce the risk of coming into contact with infected cats. If your cat does go outside, try to prevent close contact with other cats.
- Healthy Diet and Exercise: Provide a balanced diet and regular exercise to boost your cat’s immune system.
- Regular Veterinary Check-ups: Routine visits to the vet can help catch any health issues early and ensure your cat is up-to-date with vaccinations.
By following these preventive measures, you can help keep your cat healthy and reduce the risk of feline herpesvirus infection.
