I got identified with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 5 yrs ago, when I was still in college and had a dumb one-night stand. I understand lots of young ladies will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/0TMt0 everything changed.

Not only was I able to eradicate all traces of the hsv from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to start dating once more. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a crowded cafe, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

Oral L-Lysine is recommended by many veterinary ophthalmologists at a dose of 250-500 mg twice daily. Lysine competes with another amino acid, arginine, that herpes virus must have in order to reproduce. Lysine has been demonstrated to decrease the severity of ocular symptoms associated with herpes virus infection (1) and reduce viral shedding during periods of disease recurrence . This really does help. 500mg during non out break times and 1000mg when the cat is having a flair up. Lysine can be bought at any box store pill form and crushed and mixed in with wet food. or you can buy a lysine paste made just for cats. I tried the paste and it was easier to get the cat to eat the crushed pill in food. It does help.

Isn't there some kind of eye ointment that the vet's could give you. Steroids are bad for an animal if taken alot. If the eyes continue to stay sick, honey, I know that it may be painful but maybe putting the cat to sleep is the humane thing to do. Beleive me, I am an animal lover, I feed all the stray animals around town but sometimes it takes tough love to put an animal out of it's misery....

L-Lysine from your vitamin aisle at the grocery store. 500 mg crushed in his food daily should help to keep the herpes in remission. At the vet hospital where I work we recommend it all of the time. It is an anti-viral amino acid supplement that a lot of people take for herpes as well. It has very little flavor, so it shouldn't disturb his eating habits.

I am not qualified to answer your question. But, I had to say God sent this gift to you and I can understand why. There aren't a lot of people that would do what you've done for as long. That is one blessed cat and you are one wonderful human being.

Thanks for giving me a blessing tonight.
