Re: [Felvtalk] Melina Please add to the CLS :(

2008-07-17 Thread expressprintkm
Thank you everyone for your kind words regarding Smokey. At least I know the 
sweet little guy is not suffering. Just about everytime I?think about me 
cleaning his mouth it? makes me cry a little, even right now. I'm way to soft 
were animals are concerned. I even worry about my pet squirrel, Charlie. Well, 
he's not really a pet, I just feed him and he's becoming really friendly. I 
take care of a stray cat named fi fi. (Long story how she got that name). 
Yesterday when I first saw her she came trotting up to me, happy to see me. 
She's very cute and I must say she really made me feel better. She currently 
lives at my mother's house, (she's?now an?indoor cat and loves it) but there 
will come a time when she will come with either me or my sister. Right now she 
is a true blessing and belongs were she is. Thanks again, Kathryn

I am so sorry about Smokey.? Please don't feel bad--he knew how much you cared 
for him.? I agree that you will find the right kitty for you among those who 
are most in need.? And that feels good.?

I am so sorry to have to write this. We lost our sweet little Smokey cat. When 
I took him to my vet before we left on vacation she told us that the sores in 
his mouth were caused from the virus and that he was suffering. She said? there 
wasn't anything that could be done. I just couldn't believe it because I 
really?thought he was doing so much better and that the sores were from herpes, 
which I explained to her. She said no, sometimes these sores are caused from 
the decease and that he was in great pain. Every time I think about the times 
that I?cleaned his little mouth it breaks my heart because I now know how much 
I was hurting him. I was as gentle as I could be but I thought I needed to keep 
the sores doctored and?I really didn't realize how much pain he was in. Stupid 
me, I thought I was helping him and that he was getting better. 

After some time goes by, I plan on going to a rescue facility and adopting a 
cat. I will try to get a little cat that has been passed by, maybe a little 
older one, I don't really know, I figure I will know when I see him/her. Thank 
you for all the information and support. You all were a great source of 
information and support.

Sincerely,
Kathryn

Kathryn, you can buy it as a pill from a drug store and maybe in a capsule.? I 
started with 500 mg caplets and they were tough to crush.? I ended up buying 
the powder from iHerbs.

http://www.iherb.com/Search.aspx?c=1st=lkw=L-Lysine

Much easier to work with.? I dissolve it in a little water, mix with food and 
feed it to mine.

It occurred to me last night that I did not take the time to properly say my 
condolences for the lost kittys such as Melina. It saddens me whenever a little 
animal leaves us and my thoughts are sincerely with their owners. I've been 
kind of?preoccupied with Smokey. I really understand how these guys can effect 
you, I think it's because they are so innocent and, like Smokey, are so 
trusting. Every time I go to pet him, which is a lot, he purrs, even though 
he's not feeling great.

I will be gone for six days on a previously planned vacation, (bad timing, I 
know). However, he will be staying with my vet, I'm really hoping that she can 
get his ulcers cleared up. I absolutely will get him on lysine. Just one more 
question?if you all don't mind:?Do I get it in liquid form or is it a powder? 

I'll email when I return to give an update. Can you send pictures on this site? 
If so and if it's appropriate, I can send a picture of Smokey.

Thanks, again,
Kathryn
