With our feline friends we are seeing epidemic immune - mediated inflammation of the gums and oral cavity known as
feline gingivitis / stomatitis, which can often be very difficult to treat.
Feline gingivitis / stomatitis is defined as inflammation of the gums and oral cavity commonly seen in many cats.
Red and swollen gums are also symptomatic of
feline gingivitis syndrome, which affects about 1 percent of cats.
Some of those conditions are: degenerative myelopathy,
feline gingivitis, end - stage renal disease, liver and kidney failure, allergy, auto - immune, inflammatory bowel disease, pulmonary fibrosis, IMHA, atopy, and spine trauma.
Feline gingivitis / stomatitis syndrome (FGS) is a comparatively unusual situation, occurring in about one in 100 cats, most ceaselessly among these with feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), or different viral, dietary or hormonal situations.
Providing your cat with adequate dental care will go a long way in preventing dental diseases like
feline gingivitis.
