Question 1

How much lysine in a "scoop" dose? How many doses in a 100 gram jar?

Accepted Answer

Hi, according to what it says on the jar, "contains approximately 500 mg of L-Lysine Hydrochloride in a palatable base"  I'm not sure about how many doses in a 100 gram jar (it doesn't say on the jar). I only use it occasionally, so it lasts a really long time for me. They suggest one rounded scoop twice daily. I usually just use one scoop at night in their wet food and it seems to work well enough. The scoop is small, I would guess maybe around 1/8 teaspoon? A very good product at any rate and my cats seem to love the taste and will eat it when mixed in with their wet food. Hope this helps.

Question 2

What are the ingredients in Vetoquinol Viralys Powder?

Accepted Answer

I want to let people who are giving this product to their cats, what hydrolyzed food ingredients are.  Hydrolysis is basically chemical digestion.  The protein, in this case fish & liver, is boiled in sulfuric aced for anywhere from several hours to more than a day to break down the proteins.  Then lye is added to raise the ph back to neutral.  Just what I want to give my cats.  Or not!!!  This is the trouble with buying from the internet.  The full label is usually not available & even when it is, the print is usually so tiny, not to mention blurred,  as to be impossible to read.

Question 4

My cat won't eat wet food & only treats that R crunchy on outside & soft inside. Which might be best chance I have ?

Accepted Answer

The same maker of the this powdered form of L-lysine also makes this supplement is the form of a crunchy treat and a flavored paste (no affiliation). I recommend (as a vet) 500 mg twice daily to begin with, you can titrate up or down to the most effective dose, but always follow the recommendation of your veterinarian. Also note that l-lysine is most effective against the respiratory/ocular symptoms caused by feline herpes virus, a viral (but not venereal) disease most cats have been exposed to and, just like love, herpes virus lasts forever. The amino acid L-lysine is believed to inhibit the recrudescence of the virus during periods of physiologic stress.
