ah ha! so a fish based diet DOES help when it comes to herpes...... maybe that has been contributing to Bugsy complete lack of flare ups! Very very very interesting! Fish is ahead of all the other meats -
Maybe this has something to do with the "One Sardine a day" poster on your vets office?

Wow!

You want to make sure to get foods that have more lysine than arginine. Hannah LOVES cheese, and most of the cheeses seem to be high in lysine. She's very lactose intolerant when it comes to milks and ice creams, but doesn't have any adverse affects from cheese. As a matter of fact, we give her cheese treats when she has to be medicated and it makes pill time so much easier.

Mine love goat milk yogurt, they only get some every two weeks however.

Mine get steaks etc all the time because they are raw fed. Since I started raw Jack and Jill's eyes have been much better looking.

Most of the steaks though are from dairy cows which are not that great of meat. Its somewhat stringy...dairy cows are not meant to make good meat but are meant for milk

However my family has lots of that in the freezer from when we were still farming. Once a year we would butcher a few cows that weren't producing much milk. The meat got split between my dad and his brothers/sisters as they all ran the farm.

The higher on the list the better... Herpes kitties should avoid items on the bottom of the list, i.e. grains...
