Treating for 2 cats in my home Eye symptoms and sneezing were primary symptoms. Do I need to throw away beds, cat trees, etc where sneezing happened or is treatment and cleaning enough? thanks in advance!

Hello - I am unclear how Feline Haemotrophic Mycoplasma has been diagnosed and treated, but assume that this was done so correctly and by a vet, otherwise addressing the symptoms and diagnosis are the first priority.  If, however, Mycoplasma has already been diagnosed within your household, it is important to understand that this infection is spread by parasites such as fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. Direct cat-to-cat transmission or transmission by inanimate objects (such as contaminated food bowls and litter trays) seems unlikely, but suitable parasite control will be required in order to prevent your cats from sharing parasites with one another or the neighbours.  Your vet should by the one to make recommendations as to what steps need to be taken; please do make it a priority to talk to them about this.
