I am certainly not diagnosing your cat. In humans a smooth tongue is a
symptom of anemia. Anemia is common in FELV cats. Are her gums pale? I had
severe anemia and my tongue was very sore as well. Could be why she is not
grooming it hurts.
Just a though.

I can't comment on the study as I haven't seen it, but lysine is recommended
by many feline opthamologists for the treatment of herpes. It is also in
the Merck Veterinary Manual.
Also, I have 2 cats with this condition and lysine keeps their eyes clear.
If I stop the lysine the eyes get runny aga

Interesting - we should look around for studies (in our spare time

for another study. But that's very interesting.

Survey Answers for Bailey:
AT WHAT AGE DID YOUR CAT BECOME FeLV POSITIVE?
Bailey was positive when I found him at 5 months of age. I had him
tested several times throughout his life and he always tested positive.
WHAT TREATMENTS DID YOU DO?

My vet opthamologist here in Philly, Dr. Glickstein, told me that he was

L-lysine is not a general immune booster, it is primarily effective against
herpes virus (which sometimes causes URI like symptoms and runny eyes) by
suppressing the L-arginine that herpes virus needs in order to replicate.

false positive result.

Are you using l-lycine as a supplement?
Thanks, he is a really special guy. He's won all of us non-cat people
in the family over (except the dog, and she still hate him). I know of
