Stomatitis in cats, aloe is a remedy

La stomatite nei gatti, l’aloe è un toccasana

Today we want to tell you a story, that of a cat suffering from stomatitis who encountered Aloe Arborescens on its path and how it was a boon for its stomatitis and health.

What could have happened? We will tell you everything in this blog article.

 

It was a Monday of ordinary work when one of our informants in the area knocked on the door of Dr. Di Franco's Veterinary Clinic in Venafro (IS).

 

The Doctor welcomed him warmly and our informant began to explain a natural remedy for stomatitis with exceptional properties.
At one point, Dr. Di Franco jumped in his chair and said to him:

I have the perfect case to test it:

A cat suffering from FIV, FELV, ulcers, gingivitis, and stomatitis, quite a serious case! We tried several medications and unfortunately, the situation did not improve.

The doctor said: “Do you feel like accepting the challenge? If it works with this cat, it could be your lucky day.”

The challenge seemed tough, but the informant confidently accepted the challenge without hesitating for a second.

Well, after 20 days the Doctor called us asking us to come to the clinic because he had great news.

 

Before revealing how the story ended, let's quickly look at what stomatitis is.

What is Feline Stomatitis?

Feline stomatitis is a very painful inflammation of the gums and oral mucosa, affecting cats from 4 months to 17 years old. The incidence rate increases with age.

 

How does it manifest?

If the cat shows any of the following symptoms, it is very likely suffering from feline stomatitis:

Bad breath, red or bleeding gums, excessive salivation, mouth ulcers (canker sores), loss of appetite, weight loss, dehydration.

 

What is the cause that leads to so much suffering? 

Now let's see what the possible causes of stomatitis may be:

  • FCV (Feline calicivirus)
  • FIV (Feline immunodeficiency)
  • FELV (Feline leukemia)
  • Food-induced inflammation
  • Food intolerances
  • Eosinophilic syndrome
  • Viral infections
  • Kidney failure

Although the most common cause remains of an immunological nature.

In fact, cats affected by this condition, having an inadequate immune system, are hypersensitive to the bacteria in dental plaque and react with a devastating and painful inflammatory response.

 

How can it be treated?

As mentioned earlier, the inflammation and lesions that characterize stomatitis are extremely painful.

Caring for a cat with chronic stomatitis is a very tough challenge.

In cases of evident disease and, especially, in the presence of significant pain, analgesics, anti-inflammatories, and antibiotics are used.

Moreover, it is important to emphasize that these are temporary remedies that hardly resolve the problem.

They are only palliative measures used in acute phases, and when they are stopped, the oral inflammatory state is worse than before.

Almost always, tooth extraction, partial or total, is performed.

In severe cases, this is the only effective option.

 

What happens if no action is taken immediately?

Stomatitis is one of the most frustrating causes of chronic mouth pain; over time, the inflammation of the gums will invade the entire oral mucosa, causing so much discomfort that it will make your cat's life a hell and consequently yours as well.

Well, we have come to the point! Let's return to the end of the story!

As soon as we arrived at the clinic, Dr. Di Franco, amazed by the results obtained with that fantastic natural remedy, showed us a detailed report:

Dr. Di Franco Andrea
Veterinary Clinic Venafro (Is)

 

“The cat tested positive for FIV and FELV, had ulcers on the tip of the tongue, and a severe case of gingivitis and stomatitis that prevented her from eating.

After just three days of applications (I applied it manually on the ulcers and gums), the cat started eating wet food again. In my opinion, the product works even locally.

6 days later we suspended all other medications and continued therapy only with the product.

After 20 days of therapy, the clinical picture is stable, the ulcers have disappeared, and the cat has no problems. We did not repeat the tests, but I contacted the owners who report that the cat is currently stable and has not had any relapses.” 

The cat, in truly critical condition, returned to health in just 20 days.

For cat stomatitis, aloe is a true remedy.

 

Curiosity:

Dr. Di Rocco, a veterinarian, created this natural therapeutic blend that contains over 250 active ingredients.

 

Why can this blend be so effective in your cat's stomatitis?

Thanks to the synergy of over 250 active ingredients present in the product that possess Immunomodulating, Anti-inflammatory, Healing, Pain-relieving, and Antibiotic properties.
