Hi Susan, When it comes to eyes, I can't swear enough by Lysine. If your kitty is over a year old, you can give her 500 mg 2x a day of the Lysine (pure/no additives) mixed into her wet food until it's completely healed. You can get it at a health food store. My Smookie could not get rid of

Wintson will wink one or both eyes at times (it hasn't happened for a long time, knock on wood) and his eyes would get red rimmed. This was usually associated with a stressful event (eg vet visit). L-lysine always does the trick. He also has acne and I give L-lysine when that occurs. L -

Hi, Little Milli is getting better. She still has diahrea to some degree but it's getting better. Her URI is getting much better although she still coughs and sneezes a bit. One of the other FeLV+ Cami has a very very stubborn URI. Initially on injectable antibiotics he got better really

Thanks to everyone for the info. Autumn is doing better today. You can tell that her right eye isn't quite right - it seems more glassy than the other. The steroids make her think she's invincible and she hates her eye drops. Yesterday after her last dose she ran back over and swatted the bottle

She sounds like a funny little girl -- I mean as in amusing rather than peculiar, but probably both apply. ;-) I'm glad she's doing better. Here's vibes that her eye clears up okay. Diane R. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan

I 've been using a mixture of water or aloe vera, powdered Lysine, Vitamin C (the stuff for cats), and colostrum. I have a bottle with lysine and Vit C powder in it. I use about 500 mg lysine, probably 200 or so of Vit C (for me 1/4 tsp of the powder mix), and a capsule (opened) of

Clarification: Even if you have a kitty that is older than a year, if they are 'small', you might want to check the dosing for Lysine for her weight via a reliable source. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that

Forgot to mention, I do this twice a day. I've always read and heard that the standard dosage of Lysine for an adult cat is 250-500 mg twice a day. I usually start off with 500 and reduce at some point to 250 before stopping it completely. It's an amino acid which counters the effect

Junior takes 500mg L lysine twice a day. I am not sure that it was what cleared up his eyes, but it is the only part of his supplements I keep him on. He is back on Clindamycin and seems less congested. He does have a weird cough several times a day. Not sure what is causing it but I do worry

I've bought in both. And never had any transfer of the virus. I think the important thing is to bring in another vaccinated adult, or healthy positive adult. t Beth Gouldin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all So Athena just re-tested on ELISA a weak positive. This is 9 weeks from the first

Beth, I can understand how frustrated and disheartened you are but I would agree about bringing in another vaccinated adult cat if any. My Lennie has lived a single life for 19 years and when we discovered Boo had Felv we weren't concerned because they did not want anything to do with each

Hi everyone - We have been able to locate an almost 1 year old very healthy FeLV+ neutered male siamese. We will be going to see him in a couple weeks... Do you think that is 'old enough'? This is only a potential - we don't have to make a decision quickly. From what I understand, he was

Hi Wendy, He hasn't always had the Recovery food. He prefers dry food but is not eating. His nose was stuck shut and his entire face was encrusted with pus when I pulled him from the shelter. He seems to get a bit better but then worse. I've been syringing him every few hours for the last two
