My cat has had a pretty bad flare up of conjuctivitis over the last week. I started him on L-lysine 500mg twice a day and the vet gave us some chloramphenicol ointment for his eye. We decided to also try some idoxuridine eye drops (also known as Herplex) which is an antiviral eye drop for humans. I'm a pharmacist so maybe had a better chance locating this drug than some other people but was wondering if anyone out there has tried it.

We've just started day one but wanted some feed back from people.

Thanks!

My vet mentioned it today but my eyes are okay right now, it’s my nose that’s drippy and sneezy. So I went to the v-e-t and it’s back on the clavamox! It’s an annual thing!

My v-e-t really wants for me to eat wet food. Having chronic herpes is tough on a little body and it burns calories. So I have some Hill’s a/d and the v-e-t said at least a jar of Gerber meats with my lysine is good for me.

My mom and I hope Wendel feels better soon.

We have not had eye problems since Mom got us started on the L-lysine daily when the Vet diagnosed us. We are really glad you have posted to share about the idoxuridine. We will be interested in how well it works for you. Please keep us posted!!!!
