...fortunately, this is something pussies don't suffer from.
But I do if I get run down.
No worries though, whenever I feel the burning sensation, and see the emergence of yet another cold sore, I just take 3 granules of Natrum Muriaticum 30c + 2 granules of Borax 10 mns later : by the morning it's dried-up and dead.
Saved me a small fortune on cold sore creams so far.

Rodney, ex-diabetic puss
A friend of mines whose mother's cat had been diagnosed with diabetes--in the early stages, told me how the once fat little bastard, called Rodney ;-D, had some kind of 'remission', as in not needing his insulin injections any longer :
Her and her mom got 2 homeopathic remedies to start with, one that can halt the kidney's degeneration and another that treats both urinary disorders as well as excessive thirst. Respectively, Kali Chlor 30c and Hydrangea 30c. Worked from day one as the old tom (14) ceased to drink as much and seemed a lot brighter.
The vet had tried to push them into buying a big bag of Science Plan prescription dry food but the mommy insisted Rodney would be better off on wet food. I would most likely have said the same thing meself as it happens.
Anyway, Rodney's mam thought the likes of Denes tins and HiLife pouches would sort her beast out, but to no avail : although the cat drank less than prior to the remedies, he was still ingurgitating that bit too much water in comparison to when he had been healthier.
She then later realised that Denes contained quite a significant amount of 'cereals' as indicated on the tins label and that Hilife was fairly high on proteins--which isn't necessarily recommended for older cats with kidney issues.
In desperation, she tried the Co-Op's pouches own brand + tins ( the jelly, inexpensive ones ) which she found to be low enough in proteins and high enough in fats as to help the little bugger to put some weight back on ( since he had become skinnier for a while ).
Since then, Rodney has been going from strength to strength, is most definitely healthier and back to his cheeky chubby self too. ;-D
He now scarcely drinks, if at all I'm told.
I have seen the furry toddler recently and he appears as mischievious and lively as he ever was before the condition had developed.
This cat had been fed exclusively on Science Plan dry kibblets for quite a few years before his diabetic spell. Mere coincidence..????? you should be so lucky.
Who would've thought... that a so-called 'cheap crappy cat food' from the supermarket could actually help a diabetic cat to recover !!??
I'm learning everyday... ;-0
and so should all those high protein fanatics/raw meat maniacs/cat food snobs. That lot seem to be forever ranting at anyone who'll listen with absolutist statements that sound more like bible-bashing, all over the net in every bloody single cat nutrition article or forum I care to read--aaarrrgghhhh... This is getting on my teats a bit, even though I'm painfully aware that they do mean well..
