- Hi all, I've been reading your posts for a while and finally decided to join, since this seems to be WAY better then google, with actual results, trials and some errors. Haha. My sweet Abbysinian boy Doodie (nick name that just stuck) is 11, but in amazing health and still acts like he's 5. Unfortunately about 3 years ago he started mouth pulling and pawing at his mouth and gaging after a while of this inconsistent behavior, we went to the vet. Ugh. It was tramatic. But the vet came back with either the calici virus or herpes. Great. He has heathy gums and teeth but lysions on his tongue mainly in the back. He suggested lysine. Which we've been on now for a year. Still paws at his mouth and flare ups. After reading all your posts on this, I've realized lysine isn't cutting it. I've tried upper respiratory drops which help when he starts his coughing episodes and sometimes give him a small amount of coconut oil which helps soothe his mouth. Now I'm reading from you guys, Lactoferrin. Which now I want to try. I found the larrow brand, one suggested, but how do I dose it. Doodie only weighs 9 pounds, so don't want to over do it. Plus he is very sensitive to dairy. He is an eater and LOVES his all canned high quality food, so adding things to his food should be no problem. I'm trying to find him some comfort with his flare ups.
