I found it online and bought it by the pound when I had a lot of ferals feeding.
I was never able to crush one of those pills and using the capsules for so many cats was rather costly, so I went in search of.
I just phoned the vets office and they are going to get a couple tubes of the gel for me to pick up the next time I go in. It cost more through them, but when you figure shipping it all evens out.
I bought a little gizmo from Wal Mart to put the pill in to crush it and it works really good.Originally Posted by tru
I just copied my post from another thread.
To boost their immune system. For many of us that tend to outside ferals and strays, the L-Lysine helps them ward off illness.Originally Posted by xocats
I do not know about this....
Why do you give a Lysine supplement to your kitties?
What you really need to know (and frankly, I hate it when a site does not give specific info) is the number of milligrams those 1-2 teaspoons equals. When the container arrives it has to have that information on there, and you can figure it out from there - if your vet wants you to give 500 mg of lysine per cat, take the amount of milligrams a teaspoon represents - which is what I believe you will find the label will tell you - and do the math from there x your number of kitties.Originally Posted by Jaclyn4238

I ordered this is this ok? It says 1-2 teaspoons per 50 LBS of body weight... how muc hshould i mix in with the cats food
Yup. I also buy the tablets, and just use a pill crusher. Neither of my cats notice/care that it's in their wet food. However, some of the cats at our rescue group don't like it- they use the already crushed powder. I don't know if there's a reason why they don't like it- could be personal preference.Originally Posted by SarahBeez
So I assume you guys are just mixing the powder in with their food, right?
Oh I can believe that!Originally Posted by CurlyQ629
In any case, I figure the amount I spend on lysine is waaaaaayyyy cheaper than a vet bill for another herpes flare-up!
