From: "Meghan" Does anyone use L-lysine and if so where do you get it and how is it working for you? Hi Meghan, You could get it at a health food store in powdered form that is in capsules. What you can do is figure it out comparatively. For instance, a 150 pound human adult would take 1,000 mg dose. So in proportion, you would give a 10 pound cat 150 mg. These proportions are incorrect. To keep proportions the same, the dose for a 10 pound cat would be about 67 mg, NOT 150 mg! -- Jess K. |

My math skills are not the greatest before I have my coffee But as Megan pointed out, a dose for a cat with herpes is 250 to 500 mgs 2x per day. I was thinking of a typical proportionate dose and not one specifically for herpes as I've never had a cat with herpes and therefore I'm not familiar with what is needed to keep in it in check. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

I think the bottom line here is, whatever the OP is using, show it to the vet and ask him what the dosage should be. |
