Viralys Oral Gel for Cats
August 13, 2014
In all the year I have had cats this is the first cat with chronic feline herpes. I got her at a shelter, and had no idea how bad she was. At the time I brought her home she seemed fine. In a very short time I had her to the vets, and found out what her problem was. She has been on this oral gel for 5 years now, and she has not been on antibiotics for a very long time.She takes the gel with no problem. If you would see her now you would never think this cat was constantly sick in the beginning. Giving her this gel is cheaper than large vet bills, and we make sure she never misses a dose even when we are away.

She Likes the Taste
July 28, 2014
Too soon to tell if it's working yet, but my cat really likes the taste. It's maple syrup flavored! If it works I'd give it a 5 star, but it's too soon to tell. I hope it does, because she's finicky!

Viralys Oral Gel 5 oz
July 25, 2014
We recently adopted 2 cats from the local Animal Protective League. We took them to our vet and one, a very large cat, had a discharge coming from his eye. It was diagnosed as Feline Herpes Virus which is an upper respiratory virus of cats. Administering it as directed (heaping 1/4 tsp twice a day) has almost eliminated the discharge. When I order from EntirelyPets the product is shipped promptly and accurately.

Shortly after getting our cat Cooper from the shelter, he was diagnosed with a respiratory condition. The vet said it will be necessary for him to take Viralys twice a day forever. Thank goodness he apparently likes the maple flavor and puts up no fuss! We have had Cooper for almost 3 years now and everyday I'm thankful for this product and our happy healthy cat.

My cats have mouth sores. The vet has been treating them for over a year without much improvement. I found out about Viralys on line and decided to try it. It helped reduce the mouth soars with in a few days. It worked so well, I ordered enough for a year. Really Great Stuff.

This Stuff Works
May 4, 2014
My baby girl won't just eat this out of my hand but if I need to give her a big dose of l-lysine, I just use a small rubber syringe. This stuff works great for her sniffles and sneezing. Vet thinks she may have feline herpes and says this is good for their immune systems so now I give it to her every day either with a syringe or in powder form sprinkled on her food. She actually seems to like the powder form. Scarfs down her food like it's either not there or she really likes it. Hard to say since she can't talk yet, but we're working on that..... ;~)

This company is awesome . Their shipping is VERY fast. Their followup is great. Will be doing more business with them in the future.. As for the Viralys oral Gel.. The product has such a maple syrup sent, one of my kitties..(a 14 year old siamese) that caught the Herpes from my new kitten that unknowing had the virus and has not yet recovered..going on three months. Anyway the kitten never can breath..so he could care less what the sent is. The 14 year will not eat his food, and I just want ot go make pancakes.

My kitten (11 months old) has had a chronic respiratory issue since she was very young and very sick. She LOVES this L-Lysine produce and licks it directly off the spoon. It seems to help a lot.

I have a cat who used to get herpes ulcers in his mouth. He started getting them as a kitten and the older he got, the more frequently he got them. He was prescribed different kinds of meds at the vet, but nothing helped. I researched and found this product and since starting him on it a few months ago, he has not had one ulcer. This is a great product and very easy to give to my cat. I highly recommend this product.

Maple flavor is very unpopular in my house

This is what the vet sold me in 2007 for my sickly cat. He's a very cooperative cat, but he fought this hard. It discouraged me from trying lysine again for years.

Happy Cat
February 25, 2014
We always thought our cat had a runny eye due to alergies. A new vet looked at her and said that she thought it was herpes because it was only in one eye. She suggested that we try L-lysene. We have been alternating between Viralys Oral Gel and Vetru-Lysine Plus. She does not like the taste of either. We have been putting it in her moist food for about a month. Her eye has improved very much. The biggest change has been her activity! She has been running around and playing like a kitten. Also, so much more affectionate! Guess she feels better! I would definitely recomend using this product!

Lysine stops feline herpes symptoms
January 24, 2014
Most cats have been exposed to feline herpes which presents the was a cold does in humans - watery eyes, runny nose, and misery. Lysine is an amino acid that prevents those symptoms for a happier, healthier cat. The Viralys gel form of Lysine is the one I've found easiest to get my cats to take. It definitely makes a positive difference in my cats' lives - and mine.

My 2 "fussies" will lick this off my finger eagerly. Also use the Viralys powder to put in food but they are more discriminating about it. Most likely next time will choose the oral gel only.

My kitty loves the taste and it helps her SO MUCH. The gel is much easier to feed than the powder and she thinks she's getting candy. It must taste really good. Thank you Vetoquinol, for this fine product.

Seems to work well
October 23, 2013
I have been using this product for two years, based upon the recommendation of our vet. Although they do still have some eye discharge, it is much improved over what is was like before I started using the Lysine. I mix it thoroughly into their canned food twice a day and they don't seem to mind. The trick with our girls is to make sure it is very well blended into the food.

Viralys Oral Gel
October 20, 2013
One of my cats has feline herpes and the vet recommended Viralys Oral Gel as a food supplement twice a day to control the mucus build up. Cats are notorious for fighting medication. Mine is no exception, but this is very easy. She likes it so much, she will lick it off my finger.

a 'best find' thanks to my previous vet
October 10, 2013
My vet until a year ago (retired) recommended this product, saying it is the "best" he has ever prescribed, getting wonderful results. My cats take a special mix of the gel, water and a few splashes of milk, shake up and served at room temperature. Really helps deter running noses, runny eyes, sneezes and characteristics of flu-like symptoms. I highly recommend. Highly!

Mr. Cat Loves this gel
October 8, 2013
First, I would recommend anyone to purchase their pet products from Entirely Pets. Extremely fast delivery every time. Good prices. Zero issues so far and I've been purchasing here for years for a 14-yr-old dog who passed away in 2010. I had been using the Enisyl-F Oral Paste for Cats - 100 mL, but it just became too expensive, so I switched to this gel hoping for the best, much more affordable and a tube lasts long. It took me a few minutes to figure out I could use the numerous medicine syringes I have around from medications from the vet, the opening of the Viralys tube fits these syringes perfectly, I just draw out approximately 1.25ml, and put the tip of the syringe near my cats mouth, start to squirt a little bit out, and he just licks and licks it and I keep slowly pressing on the plunger on the syringe handle until it is gone. Mr. Cat knows what times he gets this, twice a day, and he leads me into the kitchen precisely at those times looking for this stuff! Mr. Cat is a stray I took in about 1.5 years ago, I found where he came from and was told he had feline herpes, using this and before the paste, used daily, have kept his issues totally at bay! I highly recommend this product.

This product was recommended by our Vet as well as the Opthomologist who treated our cat. We've been using it twice daily for the past year and will continue to use it during our cat's life. He has not had any herpes outbreaks (something that was passed along to him before his eyes opened) and I'm owing that to the Viralys gel. It's very easy to mix in with his food and I'm grateful for this product. Thank you!

sadly, a big failure in my house
September 20, 2013
My cats (kittens and adults) won't touch this; it's as if the smell really puts them off. The kitten who needs Lysine the most actually turned and ran when I held the tube out for her and let her smell it. Even the kitten who eats kitty litter has a strong negative reaction to this product's smell. I thought bittlebug's review below might be on to something, but my tube has the expiration date arrangement of the substance s/he says is "more palatable." I really think it all comes down to individual cats and what they prefer. We'll have to try something else, but that doesn't mean this isn't a good product for those who like it. It would be very convenient if only my felines would cooperate.

Fluf refuses it
September 19, 2013
Out of the three products I have administered to my Selkirk Rex who has Feline Herpes, this is the only one she simply refuses to ingest. I can force it down her throat, but for me that is not an option. There are others she just loves. I would like to return this item for a refund but have not been able to find out how or if refunds are accepted.

I have 3 cats ages 7, 3 and 11months. They all love this product and actually cannot wait to get it. Viralys was recommended by my vet and this formula is easy to administer orally through a medication dropper. Must taste great because they love it.

maybe a life saver
September 4, 2013
My beautiful ragdoll kitten was diagnosed with FIP and given under a year to live. The vet recommended this product daily. With lots of love and care and this product he will be eight years old this spring. Also the price at Entirely pets is considerably less than the vet's price & since he will be taking it the rest of his life, this is a great help to me.. I think it's a life saver..

Cats and kittens love this stuff. First time I was told that several foster kittens needed Lysine, I was worried how I could administer to make sure each ate it. No worries! Gobbled down quickly.So easy to administer and this is the same stuff the vet prescribed at a much better price. Ground delivery was quick too!

Two different locations manufacture this product
July 24, 2013
Unfortunately, I have found that there are two different manufacturing sites for Viralys gel for cats. The one that lists the expiration date on the tube as year/month is palatable and my pet enjoys it. The manufacturing site that lists the expiration date in the month/year format (My vet suspects it is an American producer) smells different, is a darker color and is more liquid than gel. Your lot number 3639 that you sent to me was from the poorer production manufacturing quality site.My cat won't touch it. (I have purchased other tubes from my vet with the month/year expiration date format with the same problem) Although your price was lower than 1800PetMeds, I have reordered from them because thus far, they have delivered the more palatable product from the manufactuing site with the expiration date year/month format. Sorry for the poor product review but your service was good. And yes, I have notified Vetoquinol's Dr. Jim Lowe twice. I don't really know if they are seriously addressing this issue or not. I hope that you will.

My cat has had feline herpes since birth and she gets an eye infection. Without this they would happen every 6 weeks or so. Just one squirt a night with her treat and she never has them anymore! Oh...and the vet charges $39 for a tube so I recommend getting it here :)

What the doctor ordered...
June 24, 2013
Meow: I don't like to talk about this much, but I used to live a pretty wild life style, before I hit "rock bottom" five or six years ago. When my owner found me, I was living on whatever I could catch and my eye was swollen up from a bad fight (still not sure who started it, but I sure lost.) Anyways, according to the doc, I got a little case of Herpes in that bad eye, and this Viralys stuff controls the symptoms. It doesn't taste too bad, and as long as it keeps my eye clear, I don't mind it much. If you got Herpes, you need this stuff.
By LAJ
Excellent product
June 24, 2013
Nice to find the gel - most cats are not real big on "treats". This is a much better way to administer. Opening in tube fits into the back end of a 3cc syringe so desired amount can be given.

I have 2 inside cats and 5 outside kittens that were left by their mommas. All have some sort of upper respiratory issue. 1-2 doses a day, and they are symptom free for hours. Our vet recommended this for any cat with or without symptoms. It really helps boost their immune system.

Is it the same?
June 22, 2013
I have been using Viralys for many months as part of the treatment for my cat who has one eye that is affected by feline herpesvirus. Previous tubes of the material were very jell like and had a strong odor. My cat immediately ate it along with his food. This shipment, however, is much thinner and with less odor. The cat tried to avoid eating the part of his food that has the material on it. I wonder if there has been a change in the formula or if we received an out of date supply. I threw away the first tube and am waiting to see if he will get used to the next one which appears to be more jell like yet with less odor,,,, not sure I will reorder.

Benefits of Viralys
April 3, 2013
Three years ago I rescued a Maine Coon kitten, Denali, from the local shelter. She soon developed an eye infection. My vet diagnosed herpes of the eyes which she said was common for shelter animals. An antibiotic cream cleared up the immediate problem but my vet said the herpes was incurable and to give her Viralys twice daily to help boost her immune system to prevent future flareups. And it has worked with amazing success and she loves it! She licks it off a spoon as if it's a treat.
