Vetoquinol Enisyl F Lysine Bites for Cats (6.35 oz)

Chicken Liver Bites That Ease Feline Herpesvirus Flare-Ups

Product Description

Feline herpesvirus flare-ups can bring on watery, irritated eyes and long stretches of sneezing that seem to drag on, and these chicken liver flavored bites are formulated to shorten how long and how severe those episodes get. Twelve bites deliver 500 mg of L-lysine for adult cats, while kittens under 6 months take half that amount. Cats eat them from the hand like a treat.

Benefits

• Shorter, Milder Flare-Ups: May help reduce how long and how severe feline herpesvirus flare-ups become in most cats.
• Eye Symptom Relief: Some cats show less corneal irritation within about a week of starting these daily bites.
• Shorter Respiratory Episodes: Upper respiratory symptoms like sneezing may resolve noticeably faster with consistent daily supplementation over time.
• Chicken Liver Flavor: Most cats take these bites straight from the hand, just like a favorite everyday treat.
• Resealable Bag: The bag reseals between uses, so the remaining bites stay fresh and easy to portion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many bites should I give my cat each day?

Ans: Kittens under 6 months get 6 bites, about 250 mg of L-lysine, twice a day. Cats 6 months and older get 12 bites, about 500 mg, twice a day. That works out to a total daily dose of 500 mg for kittens or 1000 mg for adult cats, split into two feedings. Confirm the exact amount with your veterinarian.

Q2: Can these bites shorten a feline herpesvirus flare-up?

Ans: Retailer information reports that some cats taking these bites daily had milder upper respiratory signs and less corneal ulceration after about one week. Based on this information, the bites may help reduce the length or severity of a feline herpesvirus flare-up. Since results are not the same for every cat, talk with your veterinarian about what to expect before starting supplementation.

Q3: Are these chicken liver bites safe for kittens?

Ans: Yes, this treat is labeled for cats and kittens, with kittens under 6 months getting a smaller 6-bite dose twice a day compared to 12 bites for adult cats. The chicken liver flavor tends to appeal to kittens as much as adult cats. As with any new supplement, check with your veterinarian before starting a kitten on it.

Q4: What's in these chicken liver flavored lysine bites?

Ans: The active ingredient is L-lysine monohydrochloride, providing 500 mg per 12 bites. According to the product label, the inactive ingredients are cooked chicken fat, corn flour, glycerin, hydrolyzed chicken liver, mixed tocopherols, phosphoric acid, potassium sorbate, poultry meal, rice flour, salt, sugar, titanium dioxide, and yeast.

Q5: How long can I keep giving my cat these lysine bites?

Ans: These bites can be given daily for as long as your cat needs ongoing support, since they're meant for continued use rather than a short course. If your cat's condition worsens or doesn't improve after starting them, stop the bites and speak with your veterinarian. Contact an emergency veterinary hospital right away if your cat ever eats more bites than intended.

Q6: Will these bites help with my cat's eye irritation?

Ans: Some product information suggests cats given these bites may show decreased corneal ulceration within about a week of daily use, alongside general immune and respiratory support. That said, eye irritation has many possible causes, so a cat with persistent or worsening eye symptoms should be examined by a veterinarian rather than relying on the supplement alone.
