Vetoquinol Viralys Gel Immune Supplement for Cats, 5-oz

I bought this to try to use for one of my kittens I rescued. I got them when they were probably 3 weeks old after being abandoned from their mom. I had originally saved 4 but 2 unfortunately did not make it so I researched and found this product. I started this on the other 2 left. One has really bad congestion. She loves the taste and it has helped her a lot. She is still congested but not as bad. I would definitely recommend this.

Unfortunately both the powder & the gel are not palatable for my cats & I have 6 of them so it's not just one fussy cat. The powder smells & probably tastes horrible & the gel does not mix well in food so they don't eat if I put it in the food. Can't win with this stuff. Why can't they make a product that the cats will actually like? One of them has to have the Lysine so it is an uphill battle to have him eat.

My cat won’t eat anything that is flavored like fish, chicken, beef or any other “cat” food flavors - but he loves the maple flavor! I am so happy because the L Lysene really helps mitigate his upper respiratory problems that he has from Herpes and Calicivirus. I just measure out a 1/2 teaspoon twice a day and down it goes. So easy! Thank You for making this flavor!

1/2 teaspoon, 2X/day definitely keeps our cat's eyes from being goopy and wards off her Upper Resp Infections. She's been on it for about 1 1/2 years. Had to smear it on her paw when we first started. But didn't take long before she began looking forward to it, like a treat! She just licks it off of her own measuring spoon or our finger. Tip: she won't eat it if she just snacked on kibble & is feeling full.

Our little Turtle (who happens to be a cat), LOVES this medicine. In fact, he considers it a treat after he takes his eye drops.

Our vet prescribed this among other meds for our 2 kittens (8 months old now) for their Upper Respiratory Tract infection saying the Vetoquinol would raise their immune systems and help prevent the URTI returning. They actually have feline herpes that causes the infection. They won't eat the gel on food so we have to smear it on a paw for them, which works perfectly for us. We know they've had their dose, and it is helping keep them healthier.

product works pretty well my boy has had upper respiratory issues since we got him at 5 weeks . Does not take all symptoms away but definitely makes him feel better and he is more playful.

My kitten who is almost a year old was diagnosed with the feline herpes virus. She has struggled with runny eyes and the vet has put her on multiple antibiotics for her eyes and the sneezing and it didn’t really help. It got to the point where I was wiping her eyes everyday and trying to clean them with an ointment. I have had my kitten on this for a little over week and her eyes have improved drastically. I squeeze it on top of her food twice a day and she loves the flavor. she now expects it and won’t eat her dry food until I put the gel on top. I highly highly recommend the gel over the powder if your cat is having respiratory issues because I know how stressful it is.

Okay to make this long story relatively short. Our vet prescribed this holistic treatment to our kitten when we first got him from the shelter with an upper respiratory infection after I told him he had it for over two weeks already. Which should have been a no no, he should’ve given him the shot or whatever they do and then afterwards prescribed holistic medicine as immune support for that. Not as the initial treatment. Not to say this treatment didn’t work- it subsided our kitten’s sneezing a little bit, but when he did sneeze he snotted and sprayed mucus everywhere. So, after the two week treatment of this and an immune probiotic. He was basically just left uncomfortable for a month unnecessarily Okay to make this long story relatively short.

After the original treatment was prescribed he was immediately better a week later! Okay well since we’ve been going out at nighttime when it’s rather chilly, he’s been in sweaters, but sometimes his nose runs and he lets out some little sneezes. So I have purchased two of these bottles just to see if they will at least be good immune support! My kitten takes medicine really well and I remember him loving the taste of the Maple so I am not concerned about the administering process, just slightly concerned yet hopeful about the outcome. … more

I think this product has helped, but after several weeks, she runs when she sees it in my hand, I smear it on her paw, and she does lick it all off. It says to apply twice a day, I'm lucky to catch her once a day, and it's a struggle to smear it on her paw, if I don't smear it, 2 good shakes, and she flips it off to God knows where.
