My cats haven’t been officially diagnosed with feline herpes, however, they sometimes show symptoms of minor respiratory issues. Bandit was dealing with a cold for about 2 months which included sneezing, congestion, and some wheezing while my other boy, Niko, started wheezing pretty consistently recently. I’ve been giving B this stuff off an on since December, though making it a regular thing this month (Feb) and wow it really has calmed his sneezing and congestion. I started giving it to Niko as well once his wheezing got concerning and in less than a week of consistent doses, he hasn’t wheezed in 4 days which is fantastic. It being maple flavored is kind of strange but B will now lick it off My cats haven’t been officially diagnosed with feline herpes, however, they sometimes show symptoms of minor respiratory issues.

My cat's all prefer the Maple flavor gel. Most do not like fish flavor. I had to buy the fishy powder form because the Viralys gel is STILL out of stock. I have to mix the powder with water and administer it orally. They will not consume it voluntarily. Also, I have to be careful of using fish around the cats with FUS or LUTD. My vet recommended the Vetoquinol Viralys. I don't see a huge difference but I do notice some slight relief with the sneezing, wheezing, and weepy eyes. Periodically they still need to visit the vets during flare-ups for antibiotic shots when their breathing becomes too difficult. In a nutshell, I like the ease of the gel, they like the Maple flavor.

I rescued an extremely sick stray that had constant bloody snot rockets, sneezing, watery eyes, and so much more. I discovered, after taking him to the vet, that he had feline herpes. She gave me the treat form of this, but he didn't like those whatsoever, so I thought this looked easier and purchased it. It has a really wonderful maple syrup scent, but since he couldn't smell, he wouldn't eat it. So, for the first few weeks, I would wipe it on his paws so he would be forced to lick it off. He transformed into a healthier kitty within a week of taking this! All of his feline herpes symptoms are so wonderfully managed now, that you wouldn't even be able to tell he had it!

Now that his nose has cleared up, he can smell the maple and will lick it up within seconds! In fact, whenever he sees me getting it ready for him, he jumps on me until I give it to him! I now have a huge stock of this in my closet just for him because it is a miracle worker. You 100% need to get this if your cat has feline herpes! … more

Vetoquinol seems to be helping my cats but $20 per tube is a rip off and I have 2 cats.

I have to mix this with cat treats to get her to even touch it and I can tell she is disappointed that her treats are not getting served plain. She only sniffs at it and walks away if served by itself..

Love this stuff for cats, and dogs. I get things I need very quickly

Kittens loved it. They haven't been on long enough to tell if it's going to help. But they like the taste.

My cats did not even attempt to try this after smelling it. I tried to mix it in their favorite foods and they would not touch it. This is a strange flavor for a cat in the first place.

This may be a great product if your kitty's like the taste, but all 4 of mine didn't like it, so unfortunately we were't able to review the effectiveness of the product.

I started giving this to my cats and other cats that visit (not daily, about 5 days on and a few days off, as needed) to help reduce the runny eyes and nose symptoms of chronic herpes respiratory diseases. The vet said that rescue cats are often exposed as little kittens and that vaccinating them (FVRCP...the R and C are the respiratory viruses) still helps their immune systems keep the herpes in check, but they can have flare-ups, especially when they are around other cats that are in flare-up, so the Lysine helps control the herpes symptoms. Some cats will lick it off my finger like a treat, some cats will eat food that I've squeezed a little gel on, some I just have to smear it on their front I started giving this to my cats and other cats that visit (not daily, about 5 days on and a few days off, as needed) to help reduce the runny eyes and nose symptoms of chronic herpes respiratory diseases.

I've also used the powdered version mixed in food for kittens. I like this brand better than the others I've tried. … more
