Tomlyn Scientifics L-Lysine Health Supplement Powder for Cats, 100gm

We're really happy with this. My cat has had on and off problems with his eyes for years. Despite all efforts he kept getting problems. Since giving him this product with his food ( took him a couple of feeds to get used to it ) he's not had a problem for a long time now and seems happy and healthy

GREAT!! Having tried other brands, this is my number #1 choice when I have sick, feral cats in my colonies. I feed close to 27, TNR'd cats in multiple locations & when they show up w weepy eyes, sneezing &/or signs of upper respiratory distress, I mix this in w wet food, adding a little warm water. The results have been amazing! Usually, I see results after the 2nd feeding. I just had a very sick male, I think he may have FIV but a URI was hitting him hard, he had stopped eating because he couldn't smell through the nose congestion.. I used sardines mixed w canned, tuna cat food & a little warm water w this Lysine mixed in.. he was in bad shape but the smell was enough to trigger him to eat & by day 3, he was remarkably improved, he's almost back to himself again. -- For feral colonies, this is perfect to help their immune systems! Not much is used each time so it lasts a while, a good value for the price. -- I use it regularly now for all the outdoor cats, I do recommend adding it to wet food w a little water so it dissolves. Trust me, this stuff is great for URI & weepy eye issues!

This really worked on one of my cat who had continuous sneezing, and my cats did not have an issue with the taste

My cats seems to like the taste or doesn't notice it in her food. I'm happy with the quality of the product.

I purchased this as a replacement for another brand (Viralys) that I had been getting through my vet. One of our kitties had a "cold" when we adopted her. That "cold" just wouldn't clear up. She had a weepy eye and sneezles for weeks. When we took her to the vet, the vet said it was kitty herpes and prescribed the Viralys (at $30 a container). It's l-lysine in powder form; you sprinkle it on the cat food. There is no cure for feline herpes, but l-lysine helps clear up the symptoms. (For those who want to know how l-lysine helps, The Cat Doctor & Friends in Santa Clarita says, "We use L-Lysine to fool your cat's herpes virus into self-destructing by using L-Lysine, instead of another amino acid Arginine, when making new copies of itself. This decreases the amount of herpes virus in your cat's body and hopefully eliminates clinical signs such as sneezing or squinting one eye and reddish brown discharge. Green or yellow discharge from your cat's eye or nose is probably not feline herpes and deserves a veterinary visit.") The Viralys l-lysine powder not only worked great, clearing up the weepy eye and drippy nose within a remarkably short amount of time, it was also loved by all our kitties. (The vet said it wouldn't hurt any of them to eat it.) However, at $30 a container, and with the stupid mistake I made that wasted half a container (see below), I wanted to find a less expensive alternative. And I did. This product, the Tomlyn Scientifics l-lysine, seems to be identical to the Viralys, and costs half what my vet was charging me. My one concern was whether it would taste as good to the kitties, and it does indeed seem to. == My Stupid Mistake and How You Can Avoid It == When I first got the Viralys from my vet, I made a stupid mistake. I used the little scoop that comes with the powder to sprinkle the lysine powder on the cat food, and then I used the scoop to stir the powder into the food. Then I returned the scoop to the container. Those of you who are familiar with good sanitation practices will be able to predict what happened next: after a while, the tiny crumbs of cat food I had inadvertently transferred to the container gave birth to new life. In a few weeks, I saw suspicious little clumps and balls in the powder. I threw out the rest of the powder rather than risk making my kitties sick. After thinking about what I could do to prevent wasting my kitties' medicine (and my money), I realized the solution: put the powder into a shaker container so it never gets contaminated. After shopping around, I purchased the Kaiser Bakeware La Forme Select Sugar/Spice Shaker Set (available here on Amazon), which is just the right size for the powder. I'm using the shaker lid with the largest holes. Now all is well.
