thanks for posting this, sue, because the issue of folks unable to take care
of their critters right now, elderly or not, is becoming huge.
folks, check with your local shelters to see if any of them run a pet-food

on the L-Lysine, my vet ordered an oral paste for me. no one is sick right
now, but i give it as a preventative. name is Enisyl-F, made by Vetoquinol in
Canada. each ml contains 250mgof L Lysine HCL in a bse of purified water,

this is an exceptionally expensive way to give a cat its lysine.
the usually recommended dosage is between 250 and 1000 mg/day; there is

That would give you about 1644 250mg doses. It has no taste and mixed with
