Yes, animals can get herpes infections, including a specific type known as feline herpesvirus in cats, which can affect the eyes and cause conditions like conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. Canine herpesvirus also exists but primarily affects the reproductive system in dogs. While the herpesvirus types affecting animals are different from those that affect humans, they can still lead to significant health issues in the affected species. Always consult a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has an eye infection or related symptoms.
