Great news MJ! Good for Slinky! About your vet's immunity statment: tell that vet I asked if he'd personally do an experiment with L-lyine on some symptomatic feline herpes kitties (test group vs. non-test group) and then tell me that you can't boost their immune systems! If you can boost our immune systems, why couldn't you boost an animal's? Isn't that what different HIV+ patients are doing when they take anti-virals and other meds??? I can't believe he made that statment. Sorry about the vent. Again, so happy for Slinky!
