You can get DMG without a prescription at Amazon, and
I imagine many other places. That's where I get it.

Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Gum redness
Just saw your post here and on the Yahoo! list, but thought that it’d be
better if I replied here.
Before we knew my FeLV+ cat was FeLV+, her then-vet said that her gums were
becoming irritated, and that I needed to switch her to Prescription Diet
t/d. I did, and the irritation seemed to go away. She hasn't had any
stomatitis or gingivitis issues since then *that I know of*.
I don’t know that this is the best solution to Kitty’s issue, but it might
be something you could look into as a supplemental option, if she’s good
about eating dry food and you think she’s not to the point where it hurts to
eat. I don’t give Ember t/d as free-fed dry food any more, but instead give
it to her as a treat (four or five pieces in the morning and again at
night). Prescription Diet is not the best food, but the texture/composition
of this particular formula seem to help with teeth and gum problems.
I think it would be good to consider giving Kitty interferon alpha and/or
DMG. The latter is very inexpensive and easy to dose (either in semi-hard
treat form or liquid form), and it does boost the immune system a bit. Your
holistic vet might be able to tell you more about DMG and interferon.
Best wishes for Kitty,
Lance

Hi Beth,
Thank you so much, she gets :
lysine 500mg a day
a feline multivitamin, Tabby tabs,
Missing link amino supplement
Mush a powdery mix of mushrooms
Is there anything else I might be missing to give her.
She is at a little over 10lbs and gets canned food twice a day and dr Lisa
Pierson's raw chicken recipe once a day.
Thanks,
Mally

It could be the beginnings of Stomatitis. It's pretty common in the FeLV
kits. I've had a couple with it. Nasty stuff. Try the L-lysine. I used
that with something else once & it worked great, but I can't for the life
of me remember what it was.

Hello everyone,
Kitty, our 16 months old FeLV positive cat is showing a little redness
on her gums on her bottom left incisors. I have rubbed a little liquid
vitamin E and she has received a dosage of Calcarea carbonica, I'm
working with a holistic vet, but I was wondering what if any steps have
any of you taken when faced with this situation.
Thanks,
Mally and Kitty
