The lysine may help, it definitely won't hurt. It is an overall immune system booster so either way (allergies or herpes) it could help. We have no information on CBD oil use in cats for either allergies or herpes. My guess is that it won't have any affect. I know it's the new fad but it does not cure or help with all ailments.
