It could well be a herpes infection, which is very common in cats. The Herpes virus can remain dormant in a cat and suddenly appear as an eye infection or...
My one-year old cat has a cough that's come up for the second time in about a month or two. It's a pretty dry cough, I don't hear a lot of congestion or...
The herpes is unlikely, in my experience, to cause the cough. Can you tell us how often she coughs like this? Is it just a few times a day, or is it pretty...

I crush a 500 mg capsule very fine (or you can empty a gel cap) and suspend in a small amount of water, then syringe the whole amount at once. I split it in...
She has a coughing spell about once a day, usually in the morning when I get up. It lasts for maybe a minute or so. She never coughs anything up. I got...
whiteout: I have a siamese who does this and it gets so bad that he will cough and sneeze for a full minute or more constantly. He does this several times a...
Well, it kind of sounds like it might be hairball stuff. It's easy to find out: get a good kitty comb and brush/comb your cat at least daily. This will get...
Where is an good place to buy L-Lysine? I can get it from my vet, but I thought if y'all knew of somewhere I could get it online or something for less, it...

Hi -- well some vets say 250 mg twice a day. but most say 500 mg twice a day. Tigger was really bad when I bought him, gobs of crud on his eyes every...
Thanks for your reply. If the extra lysine won't be harmful in anyway, I sure don't mind giving it to my Fella twice a day. I can't wait for some time to...
