my new vet told me 750 per cat per day for lysine??? t MaryChristine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: you can get a pound of the powdered form, from NOW, which is a well-respected brand of health-store products for $7.99, on line. no mess, no fuss--even at retail in a store, it's $14.99/lb. that works out to something like 456 doses.....

I gave 1/2 in AM sprinkled on small amount of canned food (to make sure they get the entire dose) and 1/2 in PM ~ same way. They are 500 mg tablets. Or you can double the dose, too. I use Nature Made. The pill crusher I have has a place to store the rest of the powder from the pill. I got both at Walgreens. OR you can by Viralys (from a vet or online) which is a flavored powder for kittys and they love the taste. L-lysine is tasteless so using regular l-lysine is not a taste issue. Good luck. It works miracles here!

Most of the stuff you get at drug stores will have -- I can't remember the name of the stuff, but it's bad for cats -- added to it.

She's periodically got slightly runny eyes (like just eye boogers, nothing more) that the vet says could be allergy related but some sites I have read said if it clears up with the l-lysine it's something else. If we are even considering bringing another cat into the household I want o have her as healthy as physically possible. Anyone use l-lysine and what form do you use? I've seen tablets (which I would HATE to have to administer) and powder forms... also, any specific type/brand to go for that is OK for felines ? Generally, what other supplements/therapies do you give consistently to non-symptomatic felv+ cats? -- Beth Gouldin [EMAIL PROTECTED] 940.395.5393 God Bless!!!
