seems to work well
My cat Angie suffers from IBS so I can't use any of those Lysine kitty treats, she got ill from all of them :( This gel was my last hope because I just can't pill this cat!
I give her 1/4 tsp of the gel in a syringe (get them at CVS) twice a day, squirt it into the side of her mouth, and it seems to keep her upper respiratory infections at bay. If I slack off, they come back.

Great product
I rescued a kitten and he spent a week with my Vet, who gave him a clean bill of health but he didn't check him for Herpes and of course he has it and gave it to my two healthy cats. I find that this product helps to keep them healthy when they have a flare up and I have no problem getting them to take the medicine since I just mix it with their food. By the way the kitten is a joy to have so full of life and so cute everyone loves him (gabriel)

Viralys Gel👍
From UndisclosedComments about Viralys Gel 5ozThis product was referred to me by a veterinarian assistant. My Bowie is an indoor cat and I believe this helps him with his immune system plus, any hairball issues. He also loves the flavor of this stuff! He licks it right off of my finger everyday! -

Helpful!
From UndisclosedComments about Viralys Powder, 100gPut this in my cats food every day when I feed him and he doesn't have a problem with the taste or anything. His respiratory issues don't get worse when he has this consistently. -
Great for preventative care
From UndisclosedComments about Viralys Gel 5ozI've been putting Viralys in Manhattan's wet food for seven years now to control FHV flare-ups. It's worked wonders - I don't remember the last time he had a cold (knock on wood). Would highly recommend it for any owner of a flat-nosed furbaby. -

From UndisclosedComments about ViralysBasically lysine, and an immune booster... used for the herpes virus, we give it to our cat Pantera, she was born with drippy eyes, (outside feral) and this seems to keep that in check, whether her eye issue was from a herpes virus or not when she was a kitten, we do not know, but this works. -
I would definitely buy this again
From UndisclosedComments about ViralysThe cats love it. No problem giving them their medicine.

My rescue kitten came to me very sick. Many problems. I found out one was the herpes virus. He was put on Viralys L- lysine. How long can he be on it??
-
Viralys is a nutritional supplement that contains lysine that may be used in attempts to suppress feline herpesvirus infections in cats. According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, animals are usually on this product for a long time, often for the rest of their lives. Speak with your cat’s veterinarian to determine the appropriate use of this product for your cat.

We have been using the lysine gel for our two cats. We purchased from our vet. However, I noticed when I purchased this product online, the ingredient listed on the tube shows 250 mg Lysine per dose, however the tube from my vet indicates 500 mg per dose. Do you sell a gel product with 500 mg lysine?
-
According to the labeling on our Viralys gel tube, the dosing is 500 mg per ½ tsp.

what can I use to mix this product in besides wet kitten food. My kitten who is 7 weeks old will not eat her wet food if I mix this product in.?
-
The manufacturer recommends mixing the Viralys powder with wet or moistened food. Viralys also comes in a flavored gel that you may also try. If your pet refuses to take it, we recommend contacting your veterinarian to find another product.

Hi, This is listed as follows, on Amazon, with your company name as seller..."Viralys Oral Gel for Cats, 5 oz (L-Lysine) - 3 Pack" for $15.21 yet when I clicked on it and arrived here, it seems that price is for a SINGLE tube? I am confused...?
-
We apologize, but this is an error listed on another site outside of our control. Our prices are listed per tube. Thank you.

Thank you, VetRxDirect

I am in need of the L-Lysine gel for my two cats who have the herpes virus - I would buy 2-3 tubes - do you ship to Canada by USPS not UPS and how much is the shipping - I am desperate as I am a low income pensioner?

Unfortunately, we are only licensed to ship within the United States and are not licensed to ship to Canada. Thank you, VetRxDirect

What is the difference between the paste and the gel? ?
-
Viralys (L-Lysine) is available as a powder and a gel. The primary difference between the two is in the administration. The powder is typically sprinkled over wet or dry food, while the gel is usually administered on its own. For cats six months and over, one rounded scoop (provided) of powder twice daily is recommended by the manufacturer, while 1/4 teaspoonful of gel twice daily is suggested for the gel. Your cat's veterinarian may adjust that dose higher or lower. Thank you, VetRxDirect
