Re: [Felvtalk] Leona Jean Yahmuna
Just an addendum -- don't get the stuff that's formulated for humans, there are unhealthy-for-cats additives. Get the pure stuff from a health food/supplement store. Best of luck with Leona Jean.

No sneezing, rattling, etc. It apparently helps bolster their immune system and while I in no way think it is a miracle or the end-all for this nasty disease, I think it is of great value.

Re: [Felvtalk] Leona Jean Yahmuna
You can also get lysine in powder form to mix in water. It helps suppress eye herpes and many respiratory issues. Good luck!
