Thread: Gingivitis/stomatitis - advice please!

Hi, one of my older cats has teeth problem. May not be the same as yours but the solutions could be the same. My Hamlet has the disease where his gums re-absorb his teeth roots. It's called resorption lesion something. Because of that, his teeth crack and have to be pulled, plus his gums stay swollen, the plaque and tartar build up really bad, and he has horrible breath. Dental cleanings are so expensive. So, I found on the www.onlynaturalpet.com website different oral solutions. I am currently using Petzlife oral dental gel. PetzLife Oral Care Dog & Cat Dental Products I apply it with a kitty toothbrush. Right now, whatever I can get on his mouth I'll take it. I hope over time he will let me open his mouth and get more in there. I've checked my local pet store and have found a liquid that you add to water to help with oral care. But, my cats can smell or taste it so they won't drink it. There are also different kinds of probiotic powders you can add to food. (Mine won't eat powders either.) Definitely do your homework and don't be afraid to try different things. If you have a local pet store, talk to different people there. Def talk to your vet about what you try. If he prescribes meds, you don't want to have any interactions. I always say, "Knowledge sheds light, and light takes away the darkness". Research and learn as much as you can; that alone will put you at ease. Hope that helps.
