Vetoquinol Viralys Daily L-Lysine Gel for Cats and Kittens

Immune, Respiratory & Ocular Health Support in a Palatable Maple Flavor

Vetoquinol Viralys Gel is an advanced L-Lysine Hydrochloride supplement formulated specifically for cats and kittens to strengthen their immune system, support respiratory health, and maintain normal ocular (eye) function. Each 1.25 mL dose delivers 250mg of pure L-Lysine, a critical amino acid known to help reduce the severity and frequency of feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) symptoms, such as eye discharge, sneezing, and nasal congestion.

Ideal for multi-cat households, shelters, or cats under stress, this daily oral gel provides targeted nutritional support to manage flare-ups associated with upper respiratory infections and ocular inflammation. With a highly palatable maple flavor, cats are more likely to accept this supplement willingly—making daily administration stress-free for both pet and owner.

  • Supports immune defense against FHV-1 flare-ups

What Is L-Lysine and Why Is It Essential for Cats?

L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that cats cannot produce naturally. It plays a crucial role in:

  • Reducing the replication of the feline herpesvirus (FHV-1)
  • Supporting the production of antibodies
  • Enhancing collagen synthesis for tissue repair
  • Improving calcium absorption

By supplementing with L-Lysine daily, you can help manage chronic viral conditions and improve your cat’s overall quality of life.
