Rhett is doing better

The lysine is doing the trick. It never occurred to me that this was
viral. I really thought it was something stuck in his throat.

Anyway, he was vomiting a little so I stopped the antibiotics and will
let the vet know tomorrow. He's almost finished with them anyway. He
has been getting his voice back and I can hear him meow now!

Since it is so hard to get him to take the gel version of l-lysine, I'm
going to try these treats. Only 2 chews = 250 mg of lysine so I don't
have to get him to eat many. They will be good for Scarlett, too.

This is good news!

I'm not a doctor or a vet but I was always told don't stop taking
antibiotics just because things seem to be better. Your vet will tell
you what is best, of course.

I hope he likes the chewy "treat" version. Whenever I had to pill
Persia the pill pockets worked, at least for a little while. Then she'd
start to wonder why I was suddenly giving her treats.

Purrs continue that this clears up quickly and completely.

Thanks Jill. I'm going to see what TED says but I only stopped the antibiotics because of the vomiting. He also isn't coughing that I've heard so this is good news!


Yes, it really does sound like good news.

so happy to hear that Rhett is doing well now. Lysine chews sound like a
good idea.

Purrs for Rhett to get over this very quickly.

Thank you Judith! He still hates me but I can't let that stop me from
giving him the lysine. I just tell him I love him and whisper to him
before I put him on the countertop to get his dose. I tell him this will
get him better. He doesn't fight, but he doesn't like it.

I'll let you know Wednesday when they get here if he'll eat them. He's
kind of picky. I ordered the smaller pack to see if they take to them.
Chances are that Scarlett will because she'll eat anything. Rhett has
started eating canned food more lately and I added some of the gel to
the food in one bowl, and it's all gone. But they were all eating from
that bowl.

Oh and Tweed, you'll not approve of the supplements. They have sugar in
the form of glycerin. But I only intend to give them the smallest amount
to get the amino acid into them, particularly Rhett.

I sympathize completely.
