Kerry, That's very good news that Bandy's eye is getting better. I know I sometimes hate to even say something is getting better out loud because I'm afraid I'll jinx it! It's scary about Buster, but like always, you're right on top of it. You're such a good cat mom! How many geriatric

Seems to me someone who worked with a shelter, (Patti?), posted that they used to add lysine to the water and that the rate of illness went down presumably because of it. I've tasted so many supps... Doesn't lysine have a slightly bitter taste? I'd hate to have them drink less water because of

Hi Michelle, I mix the lysine in Bandy's food. Right now he is eating fancy feast salmon or some other fishy flavor or Salmon Science Diet..I top it with low sodium tuna since Little Rascal eats with him and has a heart condtion...I have to keep it low sodium because of Lil Rascal..and he eats

Kerry, The hazy spot does sound like uveitis to me, but that is the only eye condition I have experience with so it is possible that it is a symptom of other things that I don't know about too. So who knows if I am right or not. Buddy was on oral pred also, but that was because he had

Do you mix it with chicken baby food? That's how I get mine to take supplements, and they will take almost anything that way, knock on wood. But you can also pill lysine -- the pills are so big that I could not believe this was possible when someone told me, but I have coated lysine in baby

I'm glad to hear Bandy is feeling better. Prayers that his eye clears up as well. I take it his temp has stayed down? How do you get him to consume 500 to 1000mg of lysine a day? Mine aren't nearly so good at eating sup laced food! Nina Kerry Roach wrote: Thanks Michelle for the info...but

of med. Is it an antibiotic ointment? Star's runny eyes are chronic and I've been cleaning them every morning and that seems to keep them clear all day. I'm anxious to hear about Bandy, please let us know as soon as you can. Nina Kerry Roach wrote: Hi everyone, Bandy has a horrible eye infection

Kerry, I did not see this when I sent the other email. I am glad you got him in to the vet. It sounds just like uveitis, which steroids do help. Uveitis can be kept under control with steroids if caught early enough. I unfortunately did not get it properly diagnosed with my horse Pepsi at
