Product Details
Lysine Aid Feline Herpes Supplement is an L-Lysine supplement to aid the management of Feline Herpes (FHV-1) in kittens and cats. Lysine administration can help inhibit replication of the Feline Herpes Virus (FHV-1) and can be used to aid the management of FHV-1 infection. Feline rhinotracheitis virus (feline herpesvirus type 1 or FHV-1) causes acute respiratory illness known as rhinotracheitis (or feline herpesvirus infection). The virus affects domestic and wild cats worldwide FHV-1 is the most common viral infection affecting cats with an estimated incidence of FHV-1 of 50% of household cats.
L-Lysine, a key component of Lysine Aid, is an amino acid that is naturally present in proteins and can play an important role in the management of herpes virus infection. It has been shown that during replication of feline herpesvirus, an increase in L-Lysine levels has had inhibiting effects on the virus, as it competes with arginine (another amino acid) in the replication process. Lysine Aid is a very palatable and easy to give gel specifically for cats.

What our vet says
"Feline Herpes can be prevented by vaccine. But if your vet has diagnosed this in your kitten or cat, Lysine Aid can help manage the virus. It's a gel which you can add to food or pop on your cat's paw to be licked off. If your cat is off their food, they may not be able to smell it - so you can warm it slightly to entice them. Remember to keep their fluid intake up too."
