Do check with the vet.  I don't have the faith in it that Sally does, but when I talked to her last about Lucy possibly needing surgery, she suggested giving her Transfer Factor before hand.  Do you have any in the house?  You could just pick up some colostrum at the health food stor

I did put Lucy on Lysine and CoQ10 to try to boost her immune system prior to surgery, and am giving her interferon alpha every day. Does anyone know if this is problematic in any way? I know there are certain things you are not supposed to give prior to surgery, like echinacea. I am

Michelle, Didn't someone recently post about just these coughing symptoms?  Does anyone remember what that was about?  Do you have Patches on CoQ10?  I've heard about wonderful results in easing heart mummers from using it.  Did you ever find a source for Interferon Omega for Lucy

Dear Michelle,   I'm happy to hear some good news about Lucy and hope she continues to improve.  I'm sorry to hear Pepsi is not doing better.  I know how you feel; one gets so numbed that it's hard for the good news to penetrate the seeming walls of bad news.  Hang in there and giv
