A few days back, someone mentioned the Lysine ( I am using it, have been for
quite a few months) but they said there was a bit of a protocal to follow?
MaryLyn, I think you did?
What is the protocal?
As of now, I buy the 4lbs. tubs of Lysine that you get for horses, highly
concentrated.
It is much cheaper this way when you are dealing w/ the numbers that Kelly & I
and some others on this list are dealing with.
It's just a matter of a few grains being sprinkled onto the food.
Another multi cat household that I know puts it into a saltshaker and shakes it
out & voila! Breakfast is served...!
My vet uses the same type of Lysine, his dosage is a few grains also.

As I said Marylyn, her condition is much improved, her upper gums are still
red, but not as inflamed and
utterly raw as they had been. Her lower gums now look completely normal. Her
breath is now odorless.
When we first got her it was really awful.
She's been on FortiFlora which my vet was convinced would help. (I guess it
is the digestive tract that
really impacts the mouth)
Maitake-DMG liquid (vet's recommendation)
Transfer Factor (this group's recommendation)
l-lycine (this group's recommendation)
spring water
raw diet (she will not eat anything except Fancy Feast grilled turkey) I've
been mixing bits of raw
into the wet food ...also I have been mixing Archetype into Fancy Feast dry
and she has eaten it.
she was on Panacur for the giardia.
My vet ordered IR, but is holding off because she has made good progress
without it.
Her glands had been very swollen. One gland in particular seemed to be the
size of a ping pong
ball and when Caroline posted about Monkee's tumor, I thought for sure that
was it. I made an
appointment with my vet (who is on vacation) and just two days ago, it
disappeared. All her
glands are completely normal. The ping pong ball is gone. My husband has
checked her over very
thoroughly and he cannot find it either.
So ...I do not know what did what...but she is so much better.
I have been reading the Archives here and I realize that a young cat (a year
old) who is as symptomatic
as MeMe has been does not have great odds. I am relieved that she seems so
content and comfortable.
I am hoping that since her life is so improved, she'll want to stick around.
Marylyn thanks for the: Brush Away from Petzlife as well as Just Born with
colostrum. I will try both of them.
