When Pippin tested FeLV positive at six weeks of age, I started giving her 500 mg of Lysine a day. This was based upon information from this group. My vet did not think it would "hurt" but she didn't think it would necessarily help. At any rate, Pippin has been FeLV negative as of six months of age (she's one year old now.) I don't know if the Lysine helped her throw the virus, or she had a false positive test, but it didn't hurt her any. Gina

It's an amino acid and is water soluble so any excess is excreted in the urine. Hard to OD on l-lysine. Marylyn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What I have is Vet Viralys which I got from my vet. It says use 1/2 scoop (one scoop = 250 mg of l-lysine) twice a day for kittens under 6 months and 1 scoop for cats over six months but that the dosage can be adjusted. My vet didn't think oding would cause a problem. I don't know if this will help or not. Frankly, I would call my vet and ask. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.
