speaking of Lysine, try Enisyl-F Lysine Treats. a bit pricey, but my girls and boy love it. couple of them have trouble with the size of the pieces so i break tem in half for them. vet said may be they can't work the large pieces to the back of their mouth to chew them. as to wheather or not they help with FELV, don't know, but they do help with boosting immune system dorlis ---- "jbero tds.net" <jb...@tds.net> wrote: > Hi Ellie, > > I agree with everyone else. > > Stress is huge in fostering illness in cats, especially felv+.
