Wow. I love holistic approaches, but I'd be afraid my cats would die from
stress related illness before the stomatitis was cured. I have to wrap them in
a towel to get meds in them. Do you mix it in their food?
I have heard great things about the laser procedure.

Thank you – looking at it, I honestly don’t believe that I would be able to
manage giving it all to the 2 very skittish FIV+ cats, maybe one day…
But I will file it away to use on cats who would allow me to do this!

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. In Los Angeles, Kim Haba is
an excellent dental tech (see below) who can do such cleanings. 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

Kathryn,
I now that you posted the holistic stomatitis protocol a while back, I thought
that I saved it, but can’t find it.
I would very much like to try it on two of our FIV+ cats with stomatitis – one
case is severe, one just a little.
However, those cats are not easy to handle…would I be able to use it on them?

Go Get a Life---Go Get a Shelter Animal!
If you can't adopt, then foster "bottle baby" shelter animal, to save their
life. Contact your local pound for information.
If you can't bottle feed, foster an older animal, to save their life, and to
free up cage space.
Ask your local animal pound to start saving over 90% of their intake by
implementing the No Kill Equation:
