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.

Megan,
I am in Ohio so can't help you that way but would strongly recommend you get
Leona Jean on L-Lysine. I cannot tell you exactly what it is or how it does
what it appears to do but I am sure some of the others can fill you in.
I have two cats that are FIV positive and have had them on L-Lysine for well
over a year. After a few weeks any recurrence of their upper respiratory
symptoms was negligible and neither of them has had a recurrence at all in
many months. Both are fat and sassy, with clear eyes and noses. 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.
Go on line and look for it or go to a local health food store. If your cat
is picky or hard to pill or medicate I suggest the soft treats. A bit more
expensive but great for fickle cats. My two will fight over the things and
come running when I rattle the container they are in.
