Expert Answer

Feline herpesvirus (cat flu) treatment generally lasts about two weeks. It is an upper respiratory infectious disease from herpesvirus that needs timely treatment, or the condition worsens and becomes harder to treat. Treatment includes antiviral, antibacterial, and symptomatic care; once diagnosed, take the cat to a clinic where the vet treats by symptoms, using antibiotics and antivirals plus nutrition to control secondary infection and aid recovery.
