Holistic Stomatitis Protocol

Note that holistic approaches take longer than do allopathic ones.   These the supplements we've been using, but it doesn't mean some aren't optional.  What seemed to turn things around was one course of antibiotics along with Coptis Purge Fire.  You may have to continue with Coptis Purge Fire forever.   We've just gotten rid of the stomatitis symptoms and have not tried stopping the supplements.   It's better than extractions, which some say only work 50% of the time, and are expensive and invasive to boot.

Supplements
Health Concerns  Coptis Purge Fire (2 tablets if 1 doesn't work)
CoQ10  30mg (Dr. Clark)
Vitamin A  25000 IU (Metagenics Mycelized Drops)
Vitamin E (dry, no soy)  200 IU (may be optional)
Lysine  500mg
Standard Process Whole Body Support  1/2 to 1 tablet
Standard Process Immune Support  1 tablet
Tumeric  450mg   1/2 capsule  

Can also try:
Colostrum 100mg / Lactoferrin 10mg (separate from food)

Palliative Homeopathy
(as opposed to Classical---not really recommended, but here for completeness)
Mercurius 30C

Meds
Antibiotics if really, really bad infections.  Can do it once to get things to a level at which the cat can recover with supplements.  Use probiotics separately (that is, at least an hour apart) for stomach flora.

Cleanings
Non-anesthetic sonic cleanings to keep gums clean.  Don't feed ground bones if they are getting caught in any gum pockets; use calcium carbonate supplments instead to balance the Ca:Phos ratio (about 1400 mg per pound of ground meat).

Topical
Oxyfresh in the water.

Pus in gums: Myrhh. Make a dilution by adding 1 teaspoon of the tincture (the alcoholic extract) to a cup of water. Gently apply this to the gums once or twice a day. Either use a soft toothbrush or, if the gums are too sensitive for this, flush the gums with this solution using a syringe.

Diet
Raw diet, per http://catnutrition.org   My recipe with local suppliers available on request from khargreaves@gmail.com
