[Felvtalk] URI and FIV

[Maribel Piloto]

Hi Sandy,
Very often what they have is the Herpes Virus which is VERY common in cats.   They then have flareups every once in a while which manifest as an URI.   You can add a supplement to their food called L-Lysine which will reduce the flareups and help with any current ones.  I purchase this one from Amazon which is just a white powder I sprinkle on their food...

Please don't get too freaked out about their URI's.... We have a lot of 
FIV cats at the shelter and they weather the URI's as well as the 
others...Yours may well too.  I agree that they should have ABX if the 
infection has taken hold and particularly if there is green purulent 
exudate...  If they are hard to pill a compounding pharmacy is a great 
idea ( always found liquids FAR easier to administer to uncooperative 
Kitties.....  thanks for your concern for these kitties...
