I gave half of each 500mg tablet ground up on her food morning and evening for about a month and am sure this helped her.
Hope all goes well with your new kitties  |
Good advice about the L-Lysine and cat flu!
But the tablets sold in Holland and Barrett contain sulphites which could cause breathing difficulty. This could be a disaster in a cat flu kitten. Food suppliements are not always safe to use, i would recommend a chat with the vet first about the type and dose. Some food suppliements contain other ingredients that can be harmful. Alot these can cause liver/kidney problems with long term use.
