Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a debilitating, extremely painful condition in cats characterized by severe and widespread inflammation and ulceration of the gums and the moist tissues lining the oral cavity. Unlike standard gingivitis, which only affects the gums, this condition spreads to the cheeks, lips, and the back of the throat. Until recently, the only treatment has been full mouth extractions (and even this does not guarantee a cure).
There is a new treatment (Gingipro) that is showing very promising results. We currently have 3 cats undergoing treatment with Gingipro and they are doing very well. The pictures on this post are of Cocoa pre-treatment, 2 weeks into treatment, 6 weeks into treatment and 8 weeks into treatment. We are VERY excited about the promise of this new treatment for gingivitis cats everywhere.
If your cat needs help with this condition, give our clinic a call to set up an appointment.
We love helping cats one smile at a time πΊ
