Great suggestion. Thanks.
My Perla was just diagnosed from a UR Panel to have Chlamydia and Mycoplasma and also tested negative for Herpes. For the past three years we have been treating her for herpes with no luck. She is also on Doxy for one month, though, not two weeks. According to the eye specialist vet, one month is recommended for the doxy. Perla's medication was called into the pharmacy and are in capsule form. A bit on the big side, and I am not happy about that, but we only have 9 more days to go. So far, I have not had to address her eye at all since starting on the doxy. Her left eye is still mildly weepy and I have a feeling that will never change.We did the UR test at Rocky's initial vet visit for the eye infection and it came back positive for calicivirus and mycoplasma. Oddly herpes came back negative, but the doctor said there are often false negatives with herpes....
He is now on doxycycline for his mycoplasma. That is the medicine I mix into baby food to make sure he gets it all since it has a yucky taste
It is really amazing how many have been trying the Lactoferrin and seeing an improvement. Dr. Lindley, Perla's eye specialist, is very aware of the Lactoferrin benefits and is also recommending it ( 250 mg., 1/2 capsule twice daily) to some clients in addition to the Lysine at 500 mg., twice daily. She actually mentioned this to me before I had a chance to tell her she was already on it.... thanks to my great friend, the brilliant researcher. :lol3: :bigthumb:As most of you know, my Hannah was diagnosed with Herpes 6 years ago and also had a pseudomonas infection. For the past several months, she's been very sneezy and had a herpes flare up. She's over the flare up, but has continued to sneeze clear mucus and to sneeze a lot. This summer has been brutal on allergies here and her regular routine of lysine and a daily antihistamine just wasn't working. We added lactoferrin last week and we've already seen a drastic reduction in her sneezes! They're not completely gone, but they are fewer and I'm happy with that.
Loved you story about Gracie! I too can't turn away a stray that needs help which also caused my healthy cats to contract the herpes virus with all the rapid-fire sneezing, URI, drippy eyes, etc. They just kept cycling every month with all that trouble. One of my old cats ended up with pneumonia and an eye ulcer. His eye developed a white cloudy film that was blinding him. I hated having to keep giving rounds of antibiotics. You asked for ideas and I will tell you what has seemed to significantly help my several cats including the stray tomcat who I think is the "typhoid harry" that got all of mine sick. (He attacked one of my indoor cats that happened to get out.) The tomcat got so terrible sick with URI that I thought he would die. I had known of people that successfully use colloidal silver (10 ppm strength) to quickly clear up eye infections, and ear infections as well as sinus infections. Our family has been using it for a few years when we start getting a cold and it certainly seems to shorten the duration; even helped to knock out pneumonia within a few days. I knew that silverbiotic has been used in hospitals for burns and for newborns eyes to prevent serious infection.Any ideas on this are much appreciated. I'm also the one who took in the 5 month-old little feral cat that we named Gracie, that came to our door back in April after somehow surviving that brutally harsh arctic winter we had. With tons of patience, love, and tuna, she started out literally climbing the walls floor to ceiling, terrified of humans and just glaring at us when we entered her room - to our very loving beautiful baby. She's blossomed into a most wonderful pet, and follows us all over the house, she adores my husband, absolutely loves her 3 cat "brothers", and we all love her to pieces - a happy ending to a very horrible start in life for her.
