My feline may have the corona virus. My question is, would a probiotic be ok for her? Is there anything else Holistically we can do for here?

Hello. A probiotic is a very good idea. You might also want to start a L- lysine supplement. This amino acid was used primarily as an adjunct therapy for the feline herpes virus, but it may be useful here, too. All pet retailers carry various types of L-lysine. Just pick one you think Hazel might like. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
