I use Viralys and sprinkle it on a small amount of cannedfood so I am sure they
get it all.Or crush a pill and sprinkle, again, on a small amount (Tablespoon)
of canned food. Mine aren't great about being syringed. L-lysine is tasteless
and since they eat canned, this is easing dosing for me
lysine is such a good thing that one of the california vet assns a few years
back recommended that ALL cats, symptomatic or not, be on it.

I've been looking into l-lysine to start giving to Athena - from what I've
read, it would help. She's periodically got slightly runny eyes (like just
eye boogers, nothing more) that the vet says could be allergy related but
some sites I have read said if it clears up with the l-lysine it's
Lysine is useful for treating herpes.
You want it without propelene glycol.
I use the powder form, $12.30 per pound from iherb.com

I had previously used some gel formulation supposedly designed to appeal to
cats but Missy didn't like
to store the
rest of the powder from the pill. I got both at Walgreens.
OR you can by Viralys (from a vet or online) which is a flavored powder for
kittys and they love the taste. L-lysine is tasteless so using regular l-lysine
is not a taste issue.
Good luck. It works miracles here!

-Lysine in powder form is readily available at health food stores like Whole
Foods. Get it from a health food store because you want to make sure you get
Preservative-free L-Lysine-- no added substances- which can be especially
dangerous for cats. This is pretty routine at a health food store
and they love the taste. L-lysine is tasteless so using regular
l-lysine is not a taste issue.
Good luck. It works miracles here!

Hey Susan,
One of the important things to know about lysine is
that if it has the preservative propylene glycol, as
some made for humans do, it can cause blood issues in
cats, so just make sure you're using pure lysine.

When Pippin tested FeLV positive at six weeks of age, I started giving her 500
mg of Lysine a day. This was based upon information from this group. My vet

At any rate, Pippin has been FeLV negative as of six months

What I have is Vet Viralys which I got from my vet. It says use 1/2 scoop
(one scoop = 250 mg of l-lysine) twice a day for kittens under 6 months and
1 scoop for cats over six months but that the dosage can be adjusted. My
vet didn't think oding would cause a problem. I don't know
I use the l-lysine from a health food store, the powder inside a capsule,
250-500 mg once a day. It's an amino acid and is water soluble so any excess
is excreted in the urine. Hard to OD on l-lysine.

would not give that much to one as small as you have.
Hopefully, you'll get more info. on this. Also, make
sure that the lysine does not have the additive
propynol glycol. It causes blood issues in cats.

You can safely do 100-150 mg daily. L-lysine is water soluable so if oyu overdo it they will just pee it out. Adult cats over 8 pounds can get 250-500 mg doses.janine paton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone know the dose of lysine to give to kittens? They are 4 months, a little thin. Thanks, Janine
Carmen,
Did you mean to send me this message individually, because
that is how it was sent. I do not even think I weighed in on the recent lysine
discussion, so I think maybe it was a mis-send?
I do know that a lot of people in this group have given
their cats 500 mg per day, though
antibiotics for a herpeseye infection. I am not a huge fan of using antibiotics and have used Lysine myself for cold sores in the winter. I had been giving him 500 mg of Lysine in wet food once a day, but still he wasn't improving very fast.
I can't remember who (I'm sorry, but THANK YOU) on this group gave

Hi guys,
I just read in two different places so far that if you
are giving cats L-lysine that is originally intended
for humans, make sure it does not contain propylene
glycol. Propylene glycol can cause reactions in the
blood. Here's one link:

jennifer, lysine is for ALL species that have herpes-virus problems.
humans with recurrent cold sores use it, and critters with eye/mouth
problems from herpes use it, as well.
some vet assn's suggest that ALL cats receive a daily supplement of lysine.
it is very inexpensive if you buy
L-lysine boosts the immune system. Yes, it is
recommended for FeLV+ kitties.
