Wendy,
I've been feeding Pippin Innova wet food and mixing in the L-lysine. She seemed to like it. I was supplementing with Innova Evo dry mixed with Science Diet dry (to transition her over from Science dry that she was eating.) Now, she won't eat the wet Innova at all. She turns her nose up at it and only wants the dry food. Can I stir the L-Lysine into the dry food until I find a wet food she will eat? And, can you recommend other wet foods I can try?

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.
:)
Wendy
