Thanks - sometimes in crisis we forget what we most need to remember.Terri S.
ps I buy the pills (Costco has a great buy) and use a Coffee Bean Grinder to grind them up, I bought it just for the kits stuff :)Julie Johnson wrote:
Hi Terri, Are you already giving them L-Lysine? If not, it should be just the ticket.The sores are most probably Herpes and Lysine interferes with the virus' ability to replicate. I know quite a few people who take it for Herpes outbreaks and when I joined this list I had Chappy who had terrible mouth sores. One of the first things that was suggested was Lysine and his mouth sores improved dramatically after being on it for only a few days. You can give 250-500 mg up to twice a day. Some folks get the tablets (look for them wherever you buy vitamins) and crush them. I buy the capsules and just pull them apart; it's already ground up into a fine powder and I use so much of it that it really saves me time. If you search online, you can buy it just as a powder in a big jar, but it's quite expensive sold that way. It will likely help with the sniffies, too, since it has good general anti-viral properties. Hope this helps; give them all a big smooch! Julie p.s. I'm taking it now myself; I work at a large University and every year in September when thousands of students return, a cold inevitably circulates around the office. I find it does really help.Terri Durham-Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
My 3 FELV kits (almost 5 months) , I noticed have not been eating as
well as they were and noticed they all have red sores in their mouths.
Is there something I can give them for these ? They just recently lost
their brothers (Albany and Macon) and I am trying my best to keep these
3 healthy.Terri
ps one of them is sneezing so bad, I have to take a shower after I come
from their room so as not to expose my other kits.--
