Thank you everyone for your kind words regarding Smokey. At least I know the sweet little guy is not suffering. Just about everytime I?think about me cleaning his mouth it? makes me cry a little, even right now. I'm way to soft were animals are concerned. I even worry about my pet squirrel, Charlie. Well, he's not really a pet, I just feed him and he's becoming really friendly. I take care of a stray cat named fi fi. (Long story how she got that name). Yesterday when I first saw her she came trotting up to me, happy to see me. She's very cute and I must say she really made me feel better. She currently lives at my mother's house, (she's?now an?indoor cat and loves it) but there will come a time when she will come with either me or my sister. Right now she is a true blessing and belongs were she is. Thanks again, Kathryn

We lost our sweet little Smokey cat. When I took him to my vet before we left on vacation she told us that the sores in his mouth were caused from the virus and that he was suffering. She said? there wasn't anything that could be done. I just couldn't believe it because I really?thought he was doing so much better and that the sores were from herpes, which I explained to her. She said no, sometimes these sores are caused from the decease and that he was in great pain. Every time I think about the times that I?cleaned his little mouth it breaks my heart because I now know how much I was hurting him. I was as gentle as I could be but I thought I needed to keep the sores doctored and?I really didn't realize how much pain he was in. Stupid me, I thought I was helping him and that he was getting better. After some time goes by, I plan on going to a rescue facility and adopting a cat. I will try to get a little cat that has been passed by, maybe a little older one, I don't really know, I figure I will know when I see him/her. Thank you for all the information and support. You all were a great source of information and support.

I started with 500 mg caplets and they were tough to crush.? I ended up buying the powder from iHerbs. http://www.iherb.com/Search.aspx?c=1&st=l&kw=L-Lysine Much easier to work with.? I dissolve it in a little water, mix with food and feed it to mine.

It saddens me whenever a little animal leaves us and my thoughts are sincerely with their owners. I've been kind of?preoccupied with Smokey. I really understand how these guys can effect you, I think it's because they are so innocent and, like Smokey, are so trusting. Every time I go to pet him, which is a lot, he purrs, even though he's not feeling great. I will be gone for six days on a previously planned vacation, (bad timing, I know). However, he will be staying with my vet, I'm really hoping that she can get his ulcers cleared up. I absolutely will get him on lysine. Just one more question?if you all don't mind:?Do I get it in liquid form or is it a powder? I'll email when I return to give an update. Can you send pictures on this site? If so and if it's appropriate, I can send a picture of Smokey.

Also keep Jaws in your prayers,he is not doing so well.Another one that wins over your heart as soon as you meet him.
