Happy cat!
Velcro is a snuffly cat, and has been for the several years we've had
him. He is also hard to pill. As a result, he gets his drugs tuna flavored or transdermal. We have now learned about Lysine (an amino acid) that should shortcircuit the herpes virus that is apparently causing him so much trouble. However, because he is so congested, he's also getting another round of steroids (tuna flavored), which he considers a treat. When picking up the steroids from the compounding pharmacy, I asked if I could buy some of the tuna flavoring. I now have a WHOLE PINT in the fridge, which I can mix the lysine powder into. Velcro is so happy. He gets his treats...and will continue to for quite a while. His moms are happy because we get the stuff into him with minimal problems, and because it seems to be helping!!!!

I mix it with either chicken or ham flavored baby food. Just a teaspoon of the food, with one capsule's worth of the Lysine (250mg), twice a day. She doesn't even know she's getting medicine - she thinks it's her twice-a-day special treat!

Hmm... that's good to know about, too. She might get sick of the baby food some day. Velcro is so happy. He gets his treats...and will continue to for quite a while. His moms are happy because we get the stuff into him with minimal problems, and because it seems to be helping!!!! That's great. Roxy seems to be sneezing a lot less, and has more energy since I've been giving her the Lysine, about 4 months. Joyce |

Kalynnda, owned by one fat, furry, snuffly boy and six other furry freeloaders That's great! I wish that were available here, too. Not that I need it now, but in case I have to medicate the cats in future. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.
