Hi Gary and all, I want to explain why I believe lysine to be an immune system booster so maybe we can stop going back and forth on the issue: There are 20 (or 21 depending on the source) different amino acids in our bodies.  One of them is L-lysine.  All cells in every organism (plants,

I think maintenance is 250 mg once or twice a day.  500 mg once or twice a day for symptomatic kitties.  I would double-check this though in the archives or elsewhere. :) Wendy  Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing

My son found kiwi beside his dead sibling in the woods. Kiwi was actually very healthy. We cleaned him up and gave him kitten formula. The next day we took him to our local vet who thought he was between 2 1/2 to 3 weeks old. He would not suck on the kitten nipple bottle so we feed him

There is a new product for diarrhea (Purina?). Maybe someone else remembers what it's called. May need a vet to provide it. Not sure. I wouldn't sit on either problem. Good you are acting. Prayers for Kiwi. L Iowa You do not need a vet to provide Fortiflora, if that is what you are
