Hi Rena, If the Lysine isn't helping, definitely take her off of it. It can cause cramps and diarrhea in some cats. (Links below) Some cats just can't tolerate...
Hi Rena, I asked a cat health expert on another list. The very simple sea salt eye wash we discussed on RP. Possibly might be useful to dose the nasal...
... of these pulled this week as it abcessed. Her eyes are better but not great yet>> How long ago did you have them taken out? Was there a difference right...
she had a lot of them taken out at once when I first rescued her. It helped a lot, right away. I don't know if this goes along withthe herpes or is just...
It does sound like your kitten has the herpes virus. When we got our 2 orphaned kittens, they were on lysine and echinacea (and an antibiotic eye gel). The...
... Indeed, you are correct. In addition, cats cannot process prednisone like other species do, so prednisolone should be used instead. The liver processes...
Dear Rossi, yes prednisone / prednisolone is defintely used to treat lymphoma. I know that because my sister's cat was given pred for lymphoma and so was my...
How long can the saline solution be stored in the container/bottle? It should be a glass bottle, right? A sterile saline solution is made by adding sea salt...
Why not just buy sterile saline in the contact lens section of any drugstore/grocery store? It's really cheap and easier than making your own. Caralee ... ...
Dear Anyes, I do agree with you on the Echinacea for immune support. But as for Lysine I'd confirm that the kitten even has the herpes virus before giving...
Hi Caralee, I'm sure store bought would be fine. As far as making your own, I think sea salt is preferred and perhaps if you are going to add any of the other...
Rossi, I checked into the saline solution and "they" said that it has to be made fresh on a daily basis. Lorraine Please spay and neuter your pets! [Non-text...
Another thing you could do--more expensive but more convenient by a mile: I used to have to use saline for dry eye. I am also allergic to one of the...

My Butterscotch is 5 pounds and also looks like a kitten. She is at least 4 years old. I am not sure of the age as she is a rescued cat. Her head looks too big...
Hi, Posted a message last week regarding my newly diagnosed 2 year old. I appreciate all of the repsonses and feedback that I recieved, but I still need help. ...
FWIW, I've read where most vets who used TF use the human TF...not the one for animals. Judi "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music...
Susie do you know what age Reilly was neutered at? If a cat is neutered or spayed before their hormones kick in they tend to be bigger, once hormones kick in...
COOL! Thank you. I am just trying to reassure myself. Vets think he is fine. They say 9 lbs is average weight for a cat, shocks me that he is 9lbs, looks like...
True, Judi. Also do NOT give human dosage of TF to your cat, it can cause major herxing reaction. The TF message boards I am on have a lot of people who have...
Shelley, He was "tutored" at age 6-7 months. I am thinking the shrimpiness is due to his bad start in life and his herpes. Susie ... neutered or ... hormones ...
I voted no but I guess it depends--Merton's about 13 pounds at 18 months....larger than my 10 year old healthy Boris. On the other hand he's small for a Maine...
Elyn, Yes, raw fed cats are certainly a little different, aren't they? Slimmer and smaller. I guess with Reilly it is not so much what he weighs as what he...
RACHEL, To get the ointment in her eye, it would help if you have two people. Wrap the cat in a bath towel so she cannot get her arms and legs out. Have one ...
I believe the so-called distemper vaccine has a herpes component to it. So if a cat has been vaccinated on a regular basis, s/he should not catch the virus. ...
