Re: Vaccinate
you can get a pound of powdered lysine--something like 450 doses--for less than $15.00 check the archives, sources have been mentioned a number of times!

It's supposed to be palatable for cats, but he's too smart...he knows I'm trying to slip him something won't eat it if I put it in his food. It's called Viralys it's $12.00 for 5 oz. It contains 250 mg of lysine per 1/4 tsp. I'm not sure how this compares cost wise to other products, but thought I'd throw it out there because it's easy to give.

Junior's update
Junior saw the other vet today. He is always cheerful, but not real encouraging. Anyway Junior still has the upper respiratory and uvetis. I have already taken the advice of those suggesting putting the l lysine in baby food. This was after I gave Junior his new antibiotic Clindamycin. It is supposed to help his eye as well as the URI. Since Dr Staunton was not there today so I did not get a chance to give her the paper on the Alferon. The Dr also gave Junior a shot, which was not on the bill. I assumed it was B12 as he said it would sting. I have had them and they do sting..lol. Tiny got vaccinated for everything. He remains asymptomatic. He is staying with Junior, so his immune system must still be working pretty well. Sally in VA

Home test for FELV
I am researching for my daughter-in-law and kids who recently moved to a small farm and have acquired a number of kitty castaways. DIL has been feeding them in the barn, but last week one of the grown cats stopped eating and started having bloody diarrhea. A vet diagnosed Felv, and he recommended testing all the rest of the group. I found online saliva test kits for home use. Could someone tell me if these are reliable? Are they reliable for both cats and kittens? Are they indicators for animals who have recently acquired the virus as well as those with long-term infection? I really hope someone here might advise me. This is our first close-up acquaintance with Felv and although there is a huge amount of info on line, I'd like to walk a path someone else has already found to be successful. Right now I believe what we want most is to figure out which ones are already affected. I will greatly appreciate any advice you can offer, Thanks, Pat
Uveitis
Poor Junior's eye is so sore. He has been through so much this year. He is already blind in this eye due to his encounter with a car. I suppose this weakness predisposed him to getting this kind of infection. I am concerned it is signaling he is not getting better. I don't know how you folks do it. Emotionally it is tough enough. Financially I am not sure I can keep this up, especially if he keeps getting sick. I pray I wake up tomorrow and he feels somewhat better. Thanks for your support, please pray for Junior\ Sally

searching for a home for 5 month old female feluk postive kitten
Hi, Hoping I could find another home for another wonderful kitten. Her name is Tamia (means chipmunk in spanish) she is a 5 month old calico kitten. She came to our shelter with her sister, a man found them and kept them in a bin and fed them but unfortunatley seeked out medical help too late (stupid man). Her sister was a little over a 1lb and started to crash went the vet saw her and she had to be enuthanized. Luckily Tamia is a bit bigger (I don't know her weight off hand, but she is very tiny) and survived. She is doing well and is scared but loves to be held. I will be bringing her home but would love to find a permanent home for her. If any of you have room for one more wonderful feluk postive kitten, please contact me. She came up postive on the IFA and elisa. She is not on meds and I have to find out if she has been spayed or not. Thank you Jeni [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Fixing up the home?
