Lactoferrin for virus ??

I would like to hear people's experiences using this for FIV and cats with herpes. I'm thinking about giving it a try with my FIV kitty that has chronic rhinitis

What tests/blood work has he had done and how old is he?

He's about 10. He was a feral and was on the street for 5 yrs when I found him For 5 yrs I have kept him calm and in a very stress free environment with no signs of the FIV. I knew eventually his teeth would need attention and this oct. he went to the vet for the first time since he was neutered 5 yrs ago and had most of his teeth removed. When he returned he was fine for a few days when the nasal stuff started up and got worse and worse to the point where he could not smell and would not eat. They took him back and put him on a feeding tube for a month. So far he eats like a pig and seems happy but nothing I have tried seems to help the congestion and I'm worried he will stop eating again. Vet says this is common with FIV cats and chances are it will not go away.

No one here has used lactoferrin with thieir cats? Is there some other place I may be able to get more information about giving this to my cat?

Hi Juniemarie !

I haven't...I just want to point out this active thread:  http://www.thecatsite.com/t/267703/stubborn-herpes-infection-add-lactoferrin-in-addition-to-lysine

There's some historic and current experiences in there....and, were it I, I'd even message posters there for more specifics.

Than you White Shadow I was doing just that when I saw your post. Sounds like it's worth a try. I have tried everything else I have read about that I could afford.
