thanks.  i'll keep crushing till I can get to the store and buy the plain old 
powder.  Sneaker (the one with the herpes) will rarely come and eat the food 
with the lysine in it anyway. :(

  It's more expensive than buying the tablets yoursefl and crushing them.
  It's powder form so easy to use for multiple cats and has chicken flavoring. 
I confess I use it sometimes to get my Coco to eat. She is an on again off 
again eater. "Ingredients: L-lysine in a platable flavor base".

isn't it just the fancied-up, 
so-the-vet-and-companies-can-make-more-money-on-it version of lysine? in a 
"palatable gel," or something, maybe with some vitamins thrown in?

asks the cynic.

is tasteless and since they eat canned, this is easing dosing for me (also I 
have 5 cats currently, so easier with those numbers). The Yahoo herpes group 
has suggestions about dosing, etc.
