Re: Lysine question

My furbabies get 500 mg twice a day when sneezing, URI, herpes outbreak, etc., until the crises passes.  The positives and chronic runny eyes/noses get 250 mg twice a day.

And if you think it is ok to pill him with what seems like a fairly large capsule.  I have pilled him with half a tablet, fairly big but not as big as the capsule, just fine by covering it with Nutrical.  Thanks, Michelle
