My 4 year old, Enzo, was recently diagnosed with FHV and has been having a bad reaction to lysine. It helps with his symptoms but gives him diarrhea. I started him on 500mg. and that was too much, he not only had diarrhea but was also vomiting. I went down to 250mg. and that was still too much. Then on 125mg. he was okay for a couple of days and the low dose still seemed to help his symptoms but after 5 days he started to have diarrhea again. I took him off for a 2 days and his symptoms are back....worse than ever. So now I'm going to try 125mg. for a few days and then every other day from then on but I want to know if there is anything else I can try to give him instead?
