lysine won't hurt; some vets say ALL cats should be on it, but i don't think it's fair for people who are desperately seeking help for their immune-compromised babies to think that something will do something that it cannot. as i said, i think it's pretty darned miraculous enough as it is! and whe

I believe that L-lysine (pure) is very important in boosting the immune system.  It's an anti-viral and a natural amino acid.  It cannot be overdosed as it's water soluble.  Some people love Vitamin C, but I don't have any personal experience using that with my cats.  Best Friends Animal Sanctua
