Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How much lysine gel should I give my cat each day?

Ans: Kittens under 6 months of age should get one-quarter teaspoon of the L-lysine gel twice daily, while cats 6 months and older should get one-half teaspoon twice daily. Each half-teaspoon dose provides 500 mg of lysine, so measure carefully and always follow your veterinarian's specific guidance for your cat's needs.

Q2: Can I mix this immune support gel into my cat's food?

Ans: Yes, you can blend the maple-flavored gel into wet or dry food if your cat won't take it straight from the tube. Another option is dabbing a small amount onto the nose or paw, since cats naturally lick it off while grooming. Either method works well for getting the daily dose in without a fight.

Q3: Is this L-lysine cat supplement safe for kittens?

Ans: Yes, this gel is formulated for cats and kittens of all life stages, with dosing that differs by age and body size. Kittens under 6 months get one-quarter teaspoon twice daily, while older cats get one-half teaspoon twice daily. Always check with your veterinarian before starting any new supplement routine.

Q4: What ingredients are in the Tomlyn maple lysine gel?

Ans: The active ingredient is L-lysine hydrochloride, providing 500 mg per half-teaspoon serving to support immune health. The gel also contains citric acid, edetate disodium, maple flavor, potassium sorbate, purified water, riboflavin 5'-sodium phosphate, sodium benzoate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and sucralose as inactive ingredients, according to the product's official label.

Q5: How long can I give my cat this immune supplement?

Ans: This gel can be given for as long as your veterinarian recommends, since it's intended as an ongoing daily supplement rather than a short-term treatment for a single flare-up. If your cat's symptoms worsen or fail to improve after starting the gel, stop use and consult your veterinarian promptly for guidance.

Q6: Does this maple-flavored gel help with a cat's watery or squinting eyes?

Ans: Yes, this L-lysine supplement is designed to support normal eye function, which can help ease squinting, watery, or irritated eyes in cats. Along with eye support, it also promotes respiratory health and helps manage sneezing or nasal congestion. For eye issues that persist or worsen, always have your veterinarian examine your cat.

Q7: How many servings are in one tube of this feline lysine gel?

Ans: Each 5-ounce tube provides over 50 half-teaspoon servings, giving most adult cats several weeks of twice-daily dosing from a single tube. Kittens on the smaller quarter-teaspoon dose will typically stretch a tube even further. Because actual usage depends on dose size and how consistently you dose your cat, duration can vary between pets.
