Can anyone recommend good supplements for a felv+ kitten? Kitten is a stray, 3
mos, and siblings tested negative all on the snap ELISA. So far, we're giving
her Hi Vite Drops, Nutrical, Royal Canin Babycat, Innova wet to all 3. We will
retest in 1 month, and if positive, then retest again on
Thanks for all the ideas and advice. I had thought of kitten food but thought
it best to steer clear for the reasons mentioned- concern about kidney
function- as we are already worried about that. The dang cat eats just FINE-
he eats like a horse, and is easily eating twice what the other

Yes, hyper-T, didn't think of that, this is what was happening with
Fred, he was always asking for food and eating really good but not
gaining any weight, he was always acting like he was starving. He also
yowled and if I got up he immediately got up to follow me, just in case
I was heading
PS. Fred was hyper-T and had the radio iodine treatment, he was also
CRF we found out when checking for the hyper-T. He had his treatment 3
years ago and is fine, still CRF though.

I can't remember how old you said that Grr is but I foster lots of very
thin cats for the local shelter.
At first I used canned kitten food alot for extra calories but with
respect to an older (+10 years) cat,
my vet said that the high protein content in kitten food was not good for
an older
When we are trying to provide extra calories for our feral cats
(during cold weather) we supplement with kitten food. You might try
giving him some as treats, to keep it away from the other cats. We
have one kitty who is much more active than the others, so my mom
fixes him a special
I have to say from my own personal experiences that you are correct, MC!

Yep we are. I did not think to add the explanation of how the L Lysine
works.

There are lots of things people use but Lysine is used by many
people with FeLV and FIV cats as an immune support. I use this on my
cats.

There is this feral cat where I work. She has been fixed and her ear has
been clipped. Getting her to a vet would be impossible as I imagine she
would not get in a trap again. That being said she is very friendly to one
lady at work who feeds her canned food. Anyway for the past couple months

her neighbors.

Hi Wendy
Since the feline herpes virus is fairly common in cats then I believe the
addition of L lysine would be of benefit to cats with FELV especially if
they are exhibiting cold-like symptoms. Semantics aside as to whether it
boost the immune system or has some other mode of action, giving a
Colostrum is wonderful as far as I am concerned for any stressed
animal. The two feral kittens I have been adopted by are getting it
daily. They had a hard beginning. I want them to have everything I
can think of to help them overcome it. They are also getting
probiotics, grain free
I will let Pat know. I imagine she needs her rabies vacination as I am sure
it has been more than 3 years. Actually there is a couple feral colonies
nearby and they are trapped and neutered etc she has never gone into the
traps.

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!

Lysine counters the Arginine that Herpes needs to replicate -

Herpes viruses as a group are highly dependent on the presence of an
amino acid called arginine. Without arginine, Herpes cannot reproduce.
