I have noticed that Purina ONE and Science Diet and probably others
have L-Lysine in their food... Does anyone know what the equivalent
amount per serving is.. My guess is that it is much smaller than the 250 mg.
but it would be interesting to know...

Hey Gina,
I am not sure how much is too much lysine, but from
what I've read, if kitty is asymptomatic, then 250 mg.
per day is good for maintenance. If kitty has
symptoms or is ill, then 500 mg. per day is not too
much. That's what I gave Smookie when she had a
corneal ulcer. If she tests negative on the second
FeLV test, then I don't see the need to boost her
immune system, unless the test is wrong. I have a
kitty with feline herpes and I don't give her lysine
unless she has symptoms. Some people do though. It
just depends on the person and their philosophy. It
is good for them, so doing it for maintenance or for
symptoms, either way is fine. I am not sure how much
lysine is too much. I think some people even give
1000 mg. per day or more depending on how sick kitty
is. You should research this more though. You can
find info. on the web. Just pay attention to the
sources.
