Cindy, I have been here for years and I am glad you asked for dosages - it would be good to know. Grain free food helps cure skin allergies much of the time -...

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has used Acyclovir for herpes? I have two cats that I have been treating with an antibiotic ointment for the eye, along with...
I stopped giving them Lysine years ago when they stopped showing symptoms. Should I start Sissy on 250 mg per day or 500 mg? I can never remember these things....
I am sorry about your kitty. It's probably the stress that is causing this, and herpes can flare up in times of stress. Are you giving lysine? If not, I...
I have a 10 y/o (Sissy) that I don't think has ever really had issues with the herpes virus. I honestly can't remember, but I don't think she has. Last week...

Doesn't sound like feline herpes. Without the testing, which is, as Kenneth said, is not expensive, but well worth the cost. Sometimes, eye problems are a...
ML, Sorry to answer so late; Suzy is correct - Zithromax (Azithromycin) is perfectly legal and available in the US. Your Vet may not be familiar with it. It...

About six months ago I brought a 14 month old kitten into my household. It became immediately apparent that she had an upper respiratory problem, particularly...
... Hi, While Evo is one of the best dry foods on the market because it is grain free, your boy may do better on canned foods. Wellness is good as are other...
I am so glad to know that zithromax can be prescribed here by vets. I'm in Florida for the winter and am using the walk=in animal clinic nearby. Maybe I...
Conjuctivitis, red eye, is not necessarily an indicator of herpes. It may be just conjuctivitis. Usually, with herpes, the red, weepy eyes are from a...
My regular vet routinely prescribes Zithromax to cats, and I live in California. It is also prescribed throughout the rest of the states, so your vet is in...
You have to understand that as written, you will not get this tax break unless you are in a position to use the schedule A. Talk to your representative about...
