About four months ago, one of my not-so-animal-loving neighbors trapped Dexter, the biggest and oldest of the bunch, and took him to the local animal shelter. Lucky for Dex, I found him in time – scared witless and more than ready to come home. Within days he came down with an upper respiratory infection, which (according to the vet) was what caused a nasty eye infection. THANKS NEIGHBOR!

Of course ALL the cats became infected, and I dutifully administered the antibiotic eye ointment prescribed. At first it seemed that the ointment did the trick, but the goopy-nasty eyes and the runny noses came back within a week after the ointment was gone.

The vet recommended Enisyl-F Oral Paste, and being pretty tired of taking them back to the veterinarian clinic, I gave it a try.

I noticed an improvement in FOUR DAYS. Now there is no more cat sneeze and ucky-eye-goop to worry about in my home environment. No more having to totally disinfect everything again and again and AGAIN. No more having to medicate my cat-herd four times daily. Currently I dose them all once daily, a full pump each morning, and am keeping close watch to see if they might need more. So far so good – they are looking great!

I am no “retired virologist” and not even remotely close to being a scientific type of person, but I can attest that this stuff really works. Enisyl-F is highly recommended by one of the top veterinarians in my town, and now, wholeheartedly by me – self-proclaimed cat lover.

My personal anecdote is that my Persian was suffering so severely from Herpes in his eyes that his ophthalmologist (yes, there is such a thing as a cat ophthalmologist) felt she was going to have to extract his left eye and possibly both eyes. After 2 months of treatment with multiple anti-virals, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, my cat still had corneal ulcers from the Herpes so severely that even I was considering allowing his ophthalmologist to remove at least one eye. I could see no other way to stop his obviously severe pain. And to this day, his corneas are visibly and severely scarred from those ulcers.

Finally, his ophthalmologist suggested L-Lysine at 400 mg per day. When that did nothing, I upped his dose to 1,000 mg per day after reading on the Internet that it often took that much to be effective. Within 3 days, I could see a huge improvement. Within another week, his eyes were healed. After having chronic eye infections for his entire 2 years of life, he didn’t get another infection for a year and a half. At that time, I upped his dose again to 1,250 mg per day and he is again free of infections.

L-Lysine doesn’t cure Herpes. Once a cat has Herpes, it is for life. What it does is interfere with the replication of the virus, which damages the tissues and allows ’super’ infections caused by bacteria to develop.

Oh, and I forgot to say that prior to my being in that L-Lysine study for herpes simplex type that I suffered from herpes outbreaks 2-4 times a month since I was a very young child. I have had only 2 or 3 outbreaks since that study and only when I slack off taking my L-Lysine. That study was nearly 20 years ago. I think that anecdotal report is pretty telling, as well!
