I'm not sure if you are outting Lysine in his food, but I know someone who gets a chicken flavor powder from their vet for feline herpes. She says the cats love it. Beth

I can see if the vet would give me some more, though she said I don't need to give it any longer. I believe she's off work until Monday though, so I would have to speak with another vet. I'm trying to give him the supplements every day, but now he's turning up his nose at eating the baby food with the powder in it (he doesn't like wet food very much, only dry). I might have to use the syringe to get all those supplements into him, and I know he's not going to like that. I've got lots of pictures of him, but its hard to live each day, not knowing how long he is going to be with us.
