Interaction b/w Doxycycline & L-Lysine Powder Supplement in CATS

Hello there!



Thanks for reaching out with your question about your cat. It's great that you're being proactive about your pet's health. Doxycycline is an antibiotic often used to treat bacterial infections, and L-Lysine is a supplement commonly used to support immune health, especially for cats prone to upper respiratory infections.



Generally, there are no known harmful interactions between doxycycline and L-Lysine when given together to cats. They can work side by side quite nicely. However, it's important to give doxycycline with food to minimize the risk of stomach upset. L-Lysine can be mixed into your cat's food or given separately as instructed on the packaging.



Keep an eye out for any signs of gastrointestinal distress, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or a decrease in appetite, which could necessitate a vet visit. Also, watch for signs like lethargy, or any difficulty breathing, which could indicate a more serious issue.



You're doing a wonderful job caring for your cat, but sometimes a little guidance is needed. If you have lingering concerns, consider booking a video consult with one of us at Dial A Vet. We're here to help you and your feline friend every step of the way!
