feline stomatitis


Has anyone experience of this condition?
I'm asking on behalf of my friends six year old cat'rosie.
She has been to the vets and been told that Rosie's teeth are OK but she has stomatitis. They did prescribe powder for her food and gave a pain killing injection. However the effects have now worn off and Rosie is unable to eat.she's going back to the vets tomorrow.from what I've read it seems that removing all the teeth is often the best option ?

Re: feline stomatitis


Shelley, I've had to Google this as, luckily, I've never come across it although it seems a common problem and is related as so many things seem to be nowadays to diet.

This poor cat must be in pain and pulling the teeth seems to be one of the answers but, according to this article, it is important that all roots are removed. I am very sorry for poor Rosie and her owner.

Re: feline stomatitis


Never ever heard of it but sounds like something that is heart breaking. I hope your friend keeps her chin up because with all "seemingly never ends" issues it can bring you down.

Re: feline stomatitis


Update on Rosie, basically viv has two options, have her pts or remove all her teeth. She has been given a steroid injection and painkillers. Viv now has two weeks to make a decision.

Re: feline stomatitis


If her teeth are removed will that resolve it or does it remain in the jaw? And what is there is a bot of root left in.

Re: feline stomatitis


Thanks for your thoughts. Karen, the vet has said there are no guarantees with full extraction but the articles I've read seem to say it has good results if all teeth and roots go.
Helen, thank you that was the article I found.I told my friend that if she were mine I'd have to give her a chance. She's a young cat.

Re: feline stomatitis


An update on Rosie.
The Vet removed her teeth except for a few they had to leave due to her jaw being délicate.Rosie is now doing well.
