Hermes Going To The Vets Today Please Say a Pray *Update Back from Vets*

[Anikaca77]

Well my little man has some ulcers in his nose which is why he was bleeding last night. The vet said he has an URI again and it's probably caused due to Athena coming in and then his Herpes virus acting up. So now he's on some meds and then she also told me about this med Lysine that I could purchase at a health store. She said that could control outbreaks since he seems to be have it every 2-3 months now.

She gave me a paste and said that she could start carrying it but it might be cheaper to go to a health store and just get the pill and give it to him.

He seemed to like the paste I gave him tonight so I might just try doing the paste since it's made for cats and he likes it for once.

She said that Hermes would need to take this for a full year to see the benefits of it so for about $12 a month I think I could do that. Especially since I won't have to force the meds on him.

Thank you all for your prays,
Melissa

I'm glad that it's nothing too serious. My Pidge had sneezing episodes not too long ago and blood flew onto the sliding glass door and scared me to death! Turns out her nose was just sore from sneezing so much. So I can sympathize w/you in that way. Lots of scritchies and belly rubs for Hermes.....

Good-tasting medicine is such a blessing. I've heard of humans with herpes taking lysine to keep outbreaks to a minimum - it seems to be a popular and effective remedy.
