two more questions that I forgot

[gwork]

Hi again all,

I also was wondering, with all the 
talk about lysine lately, if that is just regular lysine, the same as humans 
would consume, but without the propylene glycol? is that right?

Also, there was a lot of talk about 
Interferon, and I got confused as to whether it is better to give regularly, 
regardless of symptoms, or start when the cat becomes symptomatic? Spaz 
has been on nothing during any of the time she has been asymptomatic, and that 
seems to be fine, but I want to keep her immune system up as much as possible so 
that she will stay healthy and live as long as possible.

Thanks again!

Yes, on the lysine. As to interferon, most people who give it give it 
prophylactically, before they get sick, to try to keep the immune system up. It 
is up in the air how much, or if, it helps. Personally I think that things 
like lysine and immuno-regulin work better, but I-R is not generally given 
prophylactically (though someone on this list works at a shelter where a 10 year 
old positive cat was dropped off when her person went to a nursing home, and she 
had been healthy since birth with FeLV and was getting I-R regularly as an 
immune builder.
