Why feline herpes flares are hard to track
FHV-1 flares come and go, and without notes it is hard to connect them to stress, travel, or other triggers.
Eye and respiratory symptoms can look similar across flares, so owners struggle to describe whether things are improving.
Owners lose track of which supportive steps their vet suggested and when each flare started and ended.
What the tracker actually does
Flare log
Record the start and end of each flare so you can see how often they happen and how long they last.
Eye & respiratory signs
Note sneezing, nasal discharge, squinting, or eye discharge to track symptom changes through a flare.
Stress trigger notes
Log events like boarding, new pets, or moves to spot what tends to precede a flare.
Medication log
Keep a record of any vet-prescribed antivirals, eye treatments, or supplements and when you gave them.
Vet-ready export
Generate a flare history to help your vet evaluate frequency, severity, and management over time.

Frequently asked questions
- Does this app treat feline herpesvirus?
- No. It is a tracking journal for logging flares, symptoms, and notes. It does not diagnose or treat FHV-1.
- Can lysine prevent flares?
- Evidence on lysine is mixed, and only your veterinarian can advise whether it fits your cat. The app simply lets you record what your vet recommends, with no claims of effectiveness.
- How do I know if it is a flare or something else?
- Symptoms can overlap with other conditions, so a veterinarian should confirm the cause. Logging details helps your vet, but the app does not diagnose.
- What triggers should I watch for?
- Stress is a common trigger, including boarding, travel, new animals, or household changes. Record what you observe rather than guessing.
- Is this a substitute for veterinary care?
- No. Always consult your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment of feline herpesvirus. This app only helps you organize what you observe and report.
