Customer Reviews

My kitty loved it
When my cat started having eye discharge, the vet said it was an outbreak of the herpes virus. She prescribed VET Viralys (along with erythromycin opthalmic ointment). I gave Viralys to my cat three times a day for a week. She loved the taste and happily licked it off my finger. After a week, the problem cleared up and has not returned. Highly recommended.

Pretty good for treating feline herpes
This gel would be ideal if it were a little thicker and not quite so expensive. I have three cats who all have the feline herpes virus, and I used to use another product and would just put it on their feet and they lick it off, but the manufacturer changed that formulation so I tried Viralys gel. Like I said, if they made it thicker, I could easily slather it on my cats and dispense it to them that way. It's good that this gel is transparent--that way it doesn't stain the carpet if they shake it off. I put a quarter-sized dab on their hindquarters and then they lick it. I recently purchased the L-Lysine powder, for humans (it's a quarter the price of the pet variety) and sprinkle it on their wet food. The downside of using this is that now the cats don't like dry food, and I hate wet food--it's smelly, messy and gives them bad breath. Well, they have to have Lysine somehow so sacrifices have to be made. Again, this gel is pretty good, but too expensive if you have more than one cat and they need to be dosed twice a day.

Wonderful product, great price.
My vet recommended this product for my cat who has chronic FHV. Her nose was always congested, her eyes running, and she used to sneeze constantly. This really cleared up the symptons within a few days. She suggested half dose, or once a day, would be enough for my cat once the symptoms were gone. That helps with the cost, and seems to work as well as the full dose. My biggest surprise is that my cat LOVES it! I just squeeze a small amount on a dish and she licks it right up. So easy, and well worth the expense. Medi-Vet Animal Health has the best prices on Amazon for this product.
