Re: goodbye....now stomatitis

[Jane Lyons]

As I said Marylyn, her condition is much improved, her upper gums are  
still red, but not as inflamed and
utterly raw as they had been. Her lower gums now look completely  
normal. Her breath is now odorless.

When we first got her it was really awful.

She's been on FortiFlora which my vet was convinced would help. (I  
guess it is the digestive tract that

really impacts the mouth)
Maitake-DMG liquid (vet's recommendation)
Transfer Factor (this group's recommendation)
l-lycine (this group's recommendation)

spring water
raw diet (she will not eat anything except Fancy Feast grilled turkey)  
I've been mixing bits of raw
into the wet food ...also I have been mixing Archetype into Fancy Feast  
dry and she has eaten it.


she was on Panacur for the giardia.
My vet ordered IR, but is holding off because she has made good  
progress without it.
Her glands had been very swollen. One gland in particular seemed to be  
the size of a ping pong
ball and when Caroline posted about Monkee's tumor, I thought for sure  
that was it. I made an
appointment with my vet (who is on vacation) and just two days ago, it  
disappeared. All her
glands are completely normal. The ping pong ball is gone. My husband  
has checked her over very

thoroughly and he cannot find it either.

So ...I do not know what did what...but she is so much better.
I have been reading the Archives here and I realize that a young cat (a  
year old) who is as symptomatic
as MeMe has been does not have great odds. I am relieved that she seems  
so content and comfortable.
I am hoping that since her life is so improved, she'll want to stick  
around.


Marylyn thanks for the: Brush Away from Petzlife as well as Just Born  
with colostrum. I will try both of them.

What is going on here?   I didn't even know there were
2 lists.  So many hot headed folks lately.

I know I am fairly new, but You all helped me an awful
lot with KI.  Just the support alone meant so much.

Gloria, I am pretty good with the mouth thing...have a
diabetic, too, unless you are already involved with a
list for that.

Re: goodbye....now stomatitis

A few days back, someone mentioned the Lysine ( I am using it, have been for 
quite a few months) but they said there was a bit of a protocal to follow?

MaryLyn, I think you did?

What is the protocal?

As of now, I buy the 4lbs. tubs of Lysine that you get for horses, highly 
concentrated.

It is much cheaper this way when you are dealing w/ the numbers that Kelly & I 
and some others on this list are dealing with.

It's just a matter of a few grains being sprinkled onto the food.

Another multi cat household that I know puts it into a saltshaker and shakes it 
out & voila!  Breakfast is served...!

My vet uses the same type of Lysine, his dosage is a few grains also.

Re: goodbye....now stomatitis

[laurieskatz]

I give 250 mg twice a day ~ I crush 500 mg tablets and sprinkle on canned food. 
Viralys is already powder form and flavored. My cats like it. the other 
L-lysine (human) is unflavored. There is a scoop in the Viralys but it's the 
same dose. If my cats are symptomatic I increase to 500mg twice a day.

Thanks!

That's the dosage I have heard to use.
