and tho i've lost all my emails, addresses, resource links etc. and can't cite this, i recall someone posting awhile back that the california state vet association (i think) had mentioned at their annual meeting that ALL cats should get lysine, positive or not.
at the sanctuary, we gave it once daily--originally in their daily wet food, then we switched over to dissolving it in their water because not everyone ate the wet food--and saw an almost immediate reduction in symptoms.

I have been giving Simon 250 mg (hal a tablet) of Lysine twice a day for a few weeks with his pred, and it has seemed to help him (he was sneezing a lot before that). I ran out and got more from the health food store, the only bottle they had left, and got home to find out it is 500 mg capsules-- rather large and obviously can't be split like a pill. he will not eat it in anything, and in fact is not eating at all this morning and I am wondering if it could possibly have to do with not getting any Lysine last night. My question is do you think it is ok to give him 500 mg at one time, once a day, rather than 250 twice a day? And if you think it is ok to pill him with what seems like a fairly large capsule. I have pilled him with half a tablet, fairly big but not as big as the capsule, just fine by covering it with Nutrical. Thanks,
Michelle
