So we're taking Mandarin in for his yearly. I have been trying the last few months to get him to take l-lysine. No success. There is not a way I can get it in him without him and I completely stressed. And here I thought I was such a good caretaker and he proves me wrong! I'm scared to push the issue with the l-lysine anyways, because it might make him flare up more? Not really sure what I'm doing with this whole herpes thing. Thought I had it under control. He used to just have one to two flareups a year, where the discharge would turn green, his eye would get irritated, and that was it. Get him some neo polydex and he was all good in about two weeks.
Any questions I should ask the vet on other options to try and get his flare-ups under control? The last four months have been rough. Just when it gets bad enough and I'm going to take him into the vet, it clears up. The discharge hasn't turned green, he doesn't sneeze or cough or have trouble breathing. I just really don't know what to do to keep it away so he's not blinky. There are no new stresses, and it's surprising but I thought for sure when I brought home Majel or when Linus passed away he would flare up, but no flare-ups then. But now the last few months when things have perhaps been more stressful for us but not for him - him no changes - he's having more flare-ups.
Boo cat fancy. My subscription and your particular article did not fill me with hope. It did scare me badly enough about future possible complications from herpes though. Like scarred tear ducts and perhaps also getting ulcers in his mouth like my Kazi. Shouldn't have checked the mail I guess, but maybe it's better to be prepared? Maybe not. I'm such a worrier.
I just wubba him so much, even if he has only really loved me the last two months.
