Have you tried mixing the lysine into some chicken or turkey baby food? most cats really love baby food and will eat lysine mixed into it. I have found lysine to help more than anything with eye problems. Though if it is uveitis he really may need the ointment as well. Did the vet show you how to pull down the lower lid and put the ointment in the space it opens? If it is a URI, I have heard that zithromax works better than any other antibiotic for resistant uri's. Have you seen an internist? If I have a medical problem with a cat or dog that does not respond to the vet's prescribed course of treatment, the next step is I try to take them to an internist for a second opinion.

Junior has been on Baytril for 10 days. He acts a bit better but definitely not himself. He is due for one more IR which I will get tomorrow. I am a bit concerned about his eye. It is closed shut he doesn’t like me to fool with it. I have tried getting opthalmalic ointment in it mostly I miss. I did get some in it tonight. It looked pretty inflamed. He is mostly blind in this eye from being hit by a car last April. I have tried L Lysine in his food but he is not eating all that well. Any thoughts here? Of Course I will get the Vet to look at it tomorrow. I am also taking the paper on Alferon for the vet to read over. I think he needs something more. Good news is he is no longer anemic and his gingivitis is better.
