    L-Lysine questions please.....

    Both Viralys and Enisyl-F come in a clear amber gel. It is much easier to feed them the gel than the hard stuff. I never tried to use the powder. I put a bit on the wrong end of a spoon and run it over their tongues, in the case of Viralys. The Enisyl-F uses a dosed syringe and works great to...

    L-Lysine questions please.....

    I wish I could help, but none of our cats have ever vomitted because of it. A few refuse to eat it, if given the choice, but even then, no bad reactions. What brand did you give? How much did you give? Also, check the expiration date. Was there something that seemed "off" about it, so that you...

    L-Lysine questions please.....

    Thank you. I am still heartbroken. He was blind, and always on my lap. He even stayed between my legs when I slept. He was one of the most loving cats I have even known. I sobbed like a baby for hours afterward. His was not an easy death, five hours of suffering. It was awful. Some people think...

    L-Lysine questions please.....

    Update: Our cat Charm passed away from complications of FHV. He was very sick for a very long time. While both L-Lysine and Ensyl-F helped alleviate the symptoms, we still lost him. We went ahead and invested in Fish-Mox. It is an antibiotic targeted specifically for aquatic animals. I read here...

    FHV-1 cat is lonely

    I didn't believe this, and it may not work in all case, but please try ordering Fish Mox, an amoxillian targeted for aquatic animals. We ordered online from Valley Vet, but if you can find it elsewhere, please do. I'm not a great fan of that company. The active ingredient is the same...

    L-Lysine questions please.....

    This is referring back to mphscat's post regarding the lysine studies: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4647294/ Hopefully more people will delve into reading this and giving us their two pennies... I think the biggie point I missed mentioning was that the health problems came at...

    L-Lysine questions please.....

    It was a vet's office that initially gave us the Ensyl-F pump and a little needle-less (?) syringe and the syringe makes it easy to squirt the stuff into the cat's mouth. We bought Viralys gel next through Amazon and it is a big tube (like toothpaste) and there is no "delivery system". Our...

    L-Lysine questions please.....

    .I am not an expert, just an owner of 10 kitties! For a FHV, taking into account the correct doage according to the label, twice a day, I saw improvements immediately (second dose?), but significant improvements in about 3 days. Good luck with your kitty, love. At 15 years old, with a URI...

    L-Lysine questions please.....

    My thoughts: The study was exhausting to read. It compares a few studies that have been done, but the studies that they used were not entirely thorough or comprehensive. The testing was incomplete. The results seem to indicate using Lysine appears to be slowing the growth of kittens; also that...

    New adopted cat- acts like spraying, but nothing coming out?

    Thank you for putting my mind at ease. "Happy tail" is one of my Peaches' favorite things to do... but he does it ONLY at daddy's leg. Thank goodness it isn't a going to grow into one big, stinky problem. Hugs! -V
