Vetoquinol Viralys L-Lysine Powder Cat Supplement

I have been feeding an outdoor feral cat for years and he has always had occasional eye and nose problems. So did one of my own cats, who had to go on antibiotics periodically. Many people assume things like "Cat Flu", but it can be any persistent infection really. Anyway this summer the feral started to look bad, although he was still eating. Can't take him anywhere or give him meds, so I looked around and saw suggestions for Lysine as a supplement to help cats immune system fight infections. This Viralys powder sounded safe and easy, so I tried it and have been giving it to him every day for a few weeks now. He seems to like the taste fine and looks to have improved quite a bit.

I'm not saying it cures anything, but he had noticeable discharge before under his eyes and nose and now it seems to be almost gone. I wish I knew about this stuff when I still had my indoor cats, I would have given it to them too. So I would say its worth a try if your cat is one of those that always looks like it has a cold and the Vet isn't working out. I had one like that and it came back whenever the antibiotics wore off. … more

My vet recommended this because one of my cats had been sneezing, and there seemed to be no medical cause. Got through a whole container and it did seem to help. My cat's also seemed to have more energy. Not sure if it was the supplement that caused that. I have just been putting this on my cats dry food as instructed on the directions, and they eat it no problem. I have tried Lysine treats and my cats would not touch them. Only reason I am knocking off a star is because I just wish it was ground finer. Once I got close to the end of the container there were bigger pieces that did not stick to there food well. That will not however stop me from re purchasing. Overall I think this is a great Supplement My vet recommended this because one of my cats had been sneezing, and there seemed to be no medical cause.

After continual sinus issues I really think this is helping my grandmothers cat that I’m helping take care of. He doesn’t sneeze as much, his eyes are more clear and he can eat without stopping to breathe (like we do when our nose is stopped up). My only regret is not finding it sooner. He’s 10+ years old, and was a feral cat for years that she’s always looked after and fed(he finally just a few years ago warmed up to all of us). Also, in case someone wonders, he hasn’t skipped a beat eating- I mix in his wet food and he’s never noticed. Will keep ordering! Thanks Chewy for offering this product!!

My cats have the herpes virus and as soon as i see them sneezing or acting sluggish i give them this in their wet food for about a week or 2 and it totally goes away. I almost lost them due to the virus a few years back before i knew they had it and it was very costly for treatments. My vet suggested this to keep them on track and it has worked tremendously!!!

All 3 of my cats, consecutively, got upper respiratory infections from feline herpes virus. They still sneeze every now am then, but it really helps my Ragdoll with his runny nose and eye swelling. I’ve only seen him have eye swelling once since he was sick and the swelling lasted for a few hours at most. My cats eat it like they don’t even know it’s in their food.

My senior cat was having pretty much constant problems with his eye because of feline herpes. He is an extremely picky eater, but he seems to actually like this powder sprinkled over his dry food or mixed in with wet. Most importantly, I noticed improvement in his eye within a week.

I bought this for my cat who has allergies and frequent respiratory infections. While he did need to ultimately get on a steroid and antibiotic, I'm using this to supplements the medications. I'm hoping that it will kick in and his immune system will strengthen. I like how it's powdered, so I can just administer it directly in his mouth.

I work at a vet clinic and we recommend Lysine for cats that have upper respiratory issues frequently. My own cat started sneezing recently and within a few days of giving this he is much better.

My cats breeder recommended we get this vitamin powder for our cat. We didn’t rush to do it and after a few days of having her home I noticed a lot of sneezing. I was getting worried she might be sick. I bought this first to try. Immediately after the first day of taking it I noticed she sneezed a lot less. Her eye crusty-ness improved by a lot. She has no problems eating it. She doesn’t even seem to notice thats it’s mixed in with her food. It definitely helped and I will continue to use this for a long time.

I’ve been using Viralys gel for years for my barn cats with excellent results. Now that the gel isn’t available, I had to get the powdered Viralys instead. It mixes very well into their canned food before I add the crunchy food and stir it all together. Not sure if the powdered form is working as well as the gel yet. It’s too soon to judge.
