Joel because this product, the cocktail, is going to be patented (I am
assuming) the dental vet will not disclose exactly what is in it but
gives generic information. It is supposed to have vitamins, a low dose
antibiotic, a probiotic, an acid reducer like a prilosec or something
similar, and an immune modulator and not sure what else. I will give you
the name and number of the place. The medication is given by 1cc daily
by mouth and contains no steroids. Daphne has been off of steroids and
his last dose was Depomedrol 20mg on 7/11/11. He was diagnosed with
diabetes due to the steroids but has since returned to normal. This
cocktail is ok for diabetic kitties too.
The dental veterenary (sp) clinic is located at 12600 Coit Road in
Dallas, Texas 75251 with a telephone number of 972-385-8400. How we came
about this my vet called someone about using or trying naltrexone by
mouth for the stomatitis. They recommended trying the cocktail which was
made up by a doctoral student. The cost of the medication is around
$50/month but the labs that must be monitored is what gets kind of
expensive. Need original labs with C
BC etc and for me was about $85 or so. Then after treatment begins labs
are checked at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, then a few months etc. FIV
kitties get a lower dose. As far as I know it is just called the Dental
Veterinarian clinic.
Ok I just found what the stuff is called right now. It is called LPS
JS-827 Syrup and it states services were by Deb Schaffer.
Hope this can help someone!!

I've got an FIV+ cat (Pasha) on the cocktail and can answer this.
The stomatitis cocktail was developed by the late Dr. Bob Wiggs at his
clinic (Dallas Animal Dental) in Dallas. The actual mix of
ingredients is proprietary so nobody other than its makers actually
know its components and their proportions, but it is basically a
holistic mix of non-steroidal, non-controlled substances. I first
heard about it from a Yahoo Group dedicated to feline stomatitis
(http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Feline-Stomatitis/) where a number
of people have reported positive results from its use. I am attaching
a fact sheet about the cocktail, which was created by one the members
of that Yahoo Group.
Dr. Wiggs passed away last year and my understanding is that while his
estate is sorted out, the cocktail's availability will be somewhat
limited as the rights to the proprietary mix haven't been completely
settled. I think that it was his wish to see the cocktail made more
readily available to help cats suffering from stomatitis and so
presumably it will eventually be easier to obtain and perhaps might
even be produced locally rather than centrally in Dallas. Time will
tell on that one.
I was informed that the formulation for FIV+ cats is slightly
different than for FIV-negative cats.
Pasha, an 8-year old lifelong FIV+ cat with caudal stomatitis and
tongue ulcers so horrendously bad that his vet looks at me knowingly
while fingering the bottle of euthasol every time I bring him in, has
been on it for about six weeks. I've been taking pictures of his
mouth to monitor the progress. I can't really say it's had any
positive impact, unfortunately. Initially, it seemed like it was
helping - after about 2 weeks the inflammation had been reduced and
his tongue looked better. But at 3 weeks both came back with a
vengeance and he looks awful. His appetite has been a little better
nonetheless, but he's not gained any weight. His most recent labs
also weren't all that encouraging. I'm going to keep at it since I've
exhausted pretty much all of the other treatment options. This
doesn't mean it doesn't work; it just means that it doesn't work on
100% of cats. Other people with FIV+ cats on the Stomatitis group
have made favorable reports.
The cocktail costs around $45/month, and the clinic does require that
bloodwork be periodically reported so there are other ongoing costs
you could expect to incur as well.
When I get around to it, I'll upload some pictures to show what I'm
talking about.

It has always been my understanding that you should never give
asprin to cats:
*Aspirin Side Effects*
Aspirin is not a medication that is typically administered to cats.
If administered, it may cause a few side effects such as:
* Stomach acidity, which can lead to stomach ulcers
* Upset stomach

* Vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Blood coagulation delays
* Lack of appetite

> Update and more questions. Yesterday Fletch ate very well and ate
quite a few treats too. He got up and walked around the kitchen for
quite awhile. I was so hopeful that maybe he was over the hump.
Wrong. This morning he refused to eat or drink and hasn't done so
all day. I hav given him some electrolytes 3 times today. He didn't
like that a bit. He had very watery poop with hard chunks in it.
That happened twice. Once on the couch, which I have plastic on
under his blankets, and then another time I ran him to the
litterbox. His fever is back..I'm sure the aspirin wore off and he
doesn't feel good at all. Is this how this disease is all the time?
Is this what his life is gonna be like from now on? Because if it
is, I can't see making him go through this. I don't think he enjoys
any part of this. Maybe he ate too much yesterday, I don't know. Do
they go thru this and then get better. Any insight will be
appreciated. Where does the fever come from?
