Thanks, Wendy.  We've already got him on A/D, which at first he gobbled,
then the next day wouldn't touch.  It was much the same with Luc,
although after we later had him intubated, A/D (as we had prepared it to
syringe into the tube) was the first food he took on his own again.  Go
figure.  We've got the L-Lysine too, and were crushing it into Patches'
food, which he wasn't eating enough of to get any benefit of the
L-Lysine.  Part of our problem was that his appetite was good until
about the same time as we started with the L-Lysine so there was always
the suspicion that it was somehow putting him off his food (along with 3
or 4 other possible contributory items, but the L-Lysine was the only
one of them we had any control over, so we discontinued using it in
hopes he'd decide we weren't trying to poison him.  With him now openly
feeling crappy, it's fairly clear this was coincidence.  So we'll crush
some into the A/D or whatever else we give him.  Is it okay to add it to
the Liver Shake?

Diane,

I would definitely get some Hill's A/D (wet canned)
into him.  A/D stands for anorexic diet and you have
to get it from your vet b/c it's prescrip.  It's good
stuff for inappetance.  You'll mix it with a little
water so it will go smoothly through the syringe. 
It's really smooth stuff.  Whatever you do get into
him, I would mix 500 mg. of L-lysine (without the
ingredient propenol glycol) into two different
feedings a day, preferably morning and night (1k mg
total).  It might take some time, but it will start to
boost his immune system.  My Smookie came to us with a
corneal ulcer and a runny nose (symptoms of feline
herpes), and nothing helped, not even weeks of
anti-viral or antibiotic eye drops.  She had already
lost one eye to a corneal ulcer (we think) before we
adopted her, so it was imperative that we save the
other one.  After starting her on the L-lysine, the
ulcer FINALLY went away, as did the runny nose.  She
still has a crusty in her nose every now and then, but
no more eye problems.  She is not on the lysine
anymore.  I hope this helps.

:)
Wendy
