Lysine Benefits for Feline Herpes Virus
Feline herpes virus type 1 (FHV-1) is a common feline pathogen. It can cause upper respiratory disease, conjunctivitis, and ocular disease. According to a study by Fascetti et al., oral administration of Lysine to cats infected with FHV-1 is associated with a significant reduction in the severity of clinical signs and basal viral shedding. They believe Lysine halts the replication of the virus by interfering with another amino acid called arginine, which the virus needs in order to replicate.
The Benefits of Lysine for Cats
Lysine is an amino acid that has many benefits for cats. It helps produce antibodies and enzymes that support the immune system, plus it helps promote healthy skin and supports calcium absorption. Because a cat’s body does not make lysine on its own, cats should receive outside sources of lysine, such as a lysine supplement.
Veterinarians recommend lysine to help cats with various ailments, including viral infections (upper respiratory infections) and feline herpes virus. Lysine has been shown to reduce the severity and the duration of the feline herpes virus by halting the replication of the virus. It can also help with conjunctivitis if it is associated with the herpes virus.
