Cat Lysine or L-Lysine for cats is used to treat upper respiratory problems or feline herpes. Not only can it improve their upper respiratory infection (URI) symptoms, but also inflammation of the eyes and conjunctivitis (eye discharge) caused by feline herpes.
Health Problems Lysine Helps Prevent
Keep in mind, a cat's immune system is able to suppress feline herpes up to a certain point. A cat's life can be filled with stress, illness, fleas, poor diet, extreme temperatures or anything else which can negatively affect their immune system. Thus causing the feline virus symptoms to re-emerge. Since there is no cure for feline herpes, continued Cat L-Lysine supplementation can help fight against the virus and is available without a prescription..
