Hello, can I give a L-Lysine to a nursing kitten? if yes, how I can do that - mix with water or milk? I bottle feed him. Thanks

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There is no research on giving L-lysine to nursing kittens. It seems safe to give to pregnant and lactating queens. It can cause an upset stomach. Since whether L-lysine is controversial whether it even helps for feline herpes I wouldn't risk giving it to such a young cat. I hope this helps!
