La dott.ssa Diane Addie presenta un video sull'importanza dell'alimentazione nel trattamento delle Stomatiti Gengivali Croniche del gatto.

Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FGS) is an extremely painful condition for the cat and a distressing condition for the cat's guardian. The lining of the mouth - especially at the back (the area sometimes called the fauces, but more correctly called the palatoglossal folds) - becomes inflamed and red and may even bleed. Often the cat may have perfectly normal teeth, or have already had the teeth removed in an attempt to cure the gingivitis and stomatitis. There are many causes of the condition, which are not gone into on this video, and there have been many attempts to cure gingivostomatitis, which again are not gone into on the video - such information can be found at www.catvirus.com.

The purpose of this video is to present the role of food in FGS - how certain dry foods may be causing FGS, or exacerbating it, how delicious foods like Almo Nature can be used to tempt cats with even very painful mouths to eat and how eating foods that are as natural as possible, like Wild Kitty Cat Food, have helped some cats to recover. The author has no vested interest in any of these products, but simply wishes to share with others products that she has found to help. Food alone will not cure FGS - veterinary advice should be always be sought, in particular, I strongly recommend a consultation with a specialist veterinary dentist.
