Re: [Felvtalk] Gum redness
Pet Tinic will help if she’s anemic, the others are immune boosters. DMG is fairly proven to generally boost the immune system but it’s mild, Transfer Factor is unproven but people use it anyway, and interferon is similar. I’d start with DMG. It should be harmless (you can find a lot of info about it online). Still, best to talk to your vet to get their approval.

Re: [Felvtalk] Gum redness
Hello, Thank you so much, she gets : lysine 500mg a day a feline multivitamin, Tabby tabs, Missing link amino supplement Mush a powdery mix of mushrooms Is there anything else I might be missing to give her. She is at a little over 10lbs and gets canned food twice a day and dr Lisa Pierson's raw chicken recipe once a day. Do you think adding DMG, interferon, pet tinic and/or transfer factor plus would help?

Re: [Felvtalk] Gum redness
You can get DMG without a prescription at Amazon, and I imagine many other places. That's where I get it.

Re: [Felvtalk] Gum redness
It could be the beginnings of Stomatitis. It's pretty common in the FeLV kits. I've had a couple with it. Nasty stuff. Try the L-lysine. I used that with something else once & it worked great, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
