Expert Answer

Common medications for feline rhinotracheitis are: feline interferon, acyclovir, antibiotics such as Clavamox or doxycycline, and antiviral eye drops. Cat flu is an infectious disease caused by herpesvirus and requires antiviral and other drugs.

Among them, acyclovir and feline interferon both have antiviral effects and can be taken orally when the condition is mild. If the condition is severe, promptly take the cat to a veterinary hospital for interferon injections for better efficacy, while appropriately giving antibiotics to suppress bacterial infection.
