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."
