I'll have to think - for Stomatitis/gingivitis, I've used
1) pulling the teeth (seems to work well)
2) Oral dexamethasone (some folks have good luck with that - made my
kitty cough a little but helped somewhat)
3) Monthly Demo (steroid) shot - nice but if it gets too frequent,
kitty comes down with other things
4) Convenia antibiotic shot, followed by oral Axithromycin as needed
(worked pretty well)
There's another oral med that I've tried but can't remember the name
right now, have to look it up. It was pretty good. I'm sure there
are some other options. As I understand, Stomatitis can be called by
several different things...
Best of luck,
Gloria

Hi. I'm fostering an FIV+ cat right now who has pretty bad
stomatitis. We had his teeth cleaned and 6 of them removed, and
after a few weeks of antibiotics post-dental surgery he was doing
much much better-- eating a lot more, gained 3 pounds in 3 weeks,
not seeming to have any mouth pain and the redness was all gone. We
stopped the antibiotics (which had been clindamycin then switched to
clavamox) and he remained ok for a few days. He then went to a
potential adoptive home with another FIV+ cat. A week later she
called for us to get him back, largely because his mouth got really
bad again. He is back on Clavamox, and has been for a few days, but
is growling when he eats and can only eat wet food that we break up
into very small pieces. His gums are very inflamed again. I had 6
FeLV+ cats, but was lucky that none had stomatitis like this. For
those of you whose cats have it or had it, what do you recommend?
thanks,
Michelle
