[Barbara Lowe]

princess is going on 3 yrs old and when i remember to give the second dose which is why i'm now taking gingko for memory, so she's been on it at least one year.the halo pets eye wash really helped her condition however that sweet little princess fights like a tazmanian devil if i try to put anything in her eye and my husband who has to help me got tired of walking into work covered with cat hairs and scratches....and the noise stressed out the other cats (and us...) barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: Del Daniels To: felvtalk@vlists.net Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 11:34 AM Subject: Re: :Lysine 500 mg bid question Barbara, and anyone else .... how long can they stay on Lysine 500 mg bid?  TiTia has the herpes eye thing and I keep her on 250 bid and increase to 500 bid during an outbreak ... I'd like to go with the 500 to prevent the outbreak if that is safe.   Del ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Lowe To: felvtalk@vlists.net Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 10:22 AM Subject: Re: Sharing food i do not let mine share food dishes because the little buggers lick their plates and to me, that's "sharing saliva"(tho they do try claiming they're starving!!) ...however nothing i can do about litter boxes sharing in a mixed household. Jelly roll tested negative at 8 wks old then was positive a year later even tho he'd had vacs and was on vit c and other supplements. he came from a litter of 3 and his biggest sister died at 12 weeks and i never had an autopsy done. his other sister, Princess who is negative(knock on wood), does have feline herpes-and red that runs from her eyes and sneezes if I dont' keep her on lysine 2x day 500 mg. barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: Cherie A Gabbert To: felvtalk@vlists.net Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 11:13 AM Subject: Sharing food Hi, I am curious since all of this has happened with Snowball and now Amber, I have read numerous things, it is said that if cats share foods, the uninfected cat can be infected, but I have also read and heard from this group that the FeLV virus pretty much dies as soon as it hits air. When I asked my vet she said prolonged nose to nose contact and a bite from the infected cat, I am confused, can someone give my some correct information. Thank you Cherie
