You gave her love while she was alive. You did a good thing and she will meet you on the rainbow bridge.
Thank you.I'm sorry. FWIW, I think she was a very sick kitty from the start and knowing what the problem was, seeking treatment sooner, going to a different vet -- whatever -- wouldn't have changed the outcome. She was lucky to spend what time she did have in your home being loved on instead of abandoned outside, so you did a really kind thing for her.
So sorry. You did all the right things, and she knew she was loved.Tragic news. She didn't make it.
I'm heartbroken. I'm not sure if there's anything that could have been done. I'll never know what took her life. Thank you everyone for your kind words. Rip sweet Bella.

I would be interested to learn more about the natural supplement you put into your cat's food, that your vet recommended, as I have a suspicion that my indoor cat may have feline herpes as well. Antibiotics do not help with her nose/breathing issues, and I tried an allergy medication that didn't help either.
OP, I do hope the new vet can help your kitty. Keep us posted.
It is L-Lysine Oral Gel. The brand I use is called "Viralys" and I buy it on Amazon. The vet did give it to me the first time, but it's cheaper and the same thing on Amazon. The vet told me to start with putting a little on his nose so he can lick it off and get used to the taste. I did that for a couple of weeks (I think) and then started putting about one squeeze lol on top of his food. I'm pretty sure the vet said an 1/8th of a tspn. He runs right to it even now and licks it right off lol.
I did this until his eye wasn't red and runny anymore. Once it cleared up she told me that he would need this about once a week for the rest of his life to keep it from coming back. Sometimes I don't do it as often as I should and I can see his eye start to run a little or get squinty.
Aren't you glad you asked? I talk just as much as I type
