Lysine Paste for Cats & Kittens

L-lysine is an essential amino-acid not synthesized by animals, and must be supplemented to correct deficiencies.

L-lysine supplementation is reported to reduce symptoms of FHV-1 virus in cats and kittens.

An Australian study of respiratory diseases in cats reported 21.2% positive for FHV-1.

Published reports on L-lysine supplementation in cats and kittens:

Oral administration of 500 mg L-lysine twice daily was well-tolerated and resulted in less severe manifestations of conjunctivitis caused by FHV-1 compared with cats that received placebo treatment.

L-lysine at 250 mg twice daily reduced viral shedding. Although there is a lack of controlled studies, it is believed this dose of L-lysine helps reduce chronic and recurrent clinical symptoms of FHV-1.

For symptoms of FHV-1 L-lysine 500 mg, orally 12 hours is recommended.
