Treating cat infected with herpes with l-lysine powder?

Question

I have an almost three year old cat with a recurring eye problem. After much research on my part - both about felines with herpes and finding a competent veterinarian - we are fairly certain my spayed female has herpes. We have decided to try treatment with Vet Viralys l-lysine powder. Unfortunately, my cat is not terribly interested in eating food with the powder mixed in.

Is there another way to deliver the powder? Perhaps suspended in a liquid and delivered orally with a syringe? She is a very picky eater, and we can't get her to eat any human food, and she has turned away from any wet food we mix this powder in to. She also is quite uncooperative with paste-like medicines, so I do not have high hopes for the l-lysine gel, plus since I already bought the powder, I'd like to try to use that.

I've been mixing it with wet food, and she won't eat it. Also, I've smelled it and it smells like nasty fishy, which is a very palatable cat smell. But I refuse to taste it! I've also been attempting to treat with 250mg, so I'm not giving her too much. But we still can't get her to eat it.

Answer 1

My cat has feline herpes as well and doesn't take to the powder at all. How does your cat do with pills? You can get l-lysine from the vitamin aisle at wal-mart, etc. This is what I have been using for my cat and it works great. The pills are somewhat large. My cat doesn't have a big problem with them (I put some butter on them to make it go down easier). These are also cheaper. You can also mix the powder up with chicken broth and use a syringe to give it to your cat. Hope this helps!

Touch a little of it to your tongue and see if there's a taste to it. (It's good for cold sores, so this is ok, you can buy it in the grocery store in their vitamin section anyway).

I know the gel has an awful taste, couldn't get our cats to take it, but I got the pill kind, just generic Lysine, and crushed a 250mg pill a day and sprinkled it over their dry food. None of the five refused it.

Maybe you're using too much? A cat dose is 250mg to 500mg which is a little less ( or more) than a quarter teaspoon. It does work well on the runny eyes. I've given it for a week and that clears up the eyes for a good long while. Some give it weekly, some do daily, it depends on how the cat responds to it.

Trying to syringe a cat takes practice, if you can, keep trying it over the dry food, but start with just a little bit. If it has a taste to it, consider getting the generic pills from the grocery store, they run something like $4 for a bottle of 60.

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about seven yrs ago, while I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I know lots of girls will say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/jFkOt everything got better.

Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes simplex virus from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a packed cafe, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This system provided the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the whole World.
