Re: [Felvtalk] New & have question
i HAVE STARTED OIL PULLING FOR MYSELF WITH COCONUT OIL. IT IS A GOOD ANTIBACTERIAL, ETC. AND MIGHT HELP YOUR CAT. I USE A TABLESPOON EACH DAY, IT TASTES GOOD AND MY HARLEY ALWAYS WANTS TO LICK MY FINGERS AFTERWARDS. (I JUST SCOOP A FINGER FULL (ABOUT 1 TABLESPOON) AND PUT IT IN MY MOUTH.)

Re: [Felvtalk] New & have question
Hi Susan, It's not a supplement, but I think I posted a link a while back about the use of Virbagen Omega in FeLV+ cats with stomatitis: http://www.dentistvet.com/docs/Gingivostomatitis-Veterinary-InfoApr2012.pdf I haven't tried it yet, but may consider after Harley's next checkup. Last one he was showing what looked to be early stomatitis, but all his bloodwork was great, and it doesn't bother him to eat either kibble or canned. Or the occasional mouse that gets in the garage. Currently doing only Vetri-DMG and Vita-chews.

Not specifically for oral health but my holistic vet has both my felv+ kitties on standard process veterinary formula feline immune support tablets.

Re: [Felvtalk] New & have question
I don’t know of any supplements that are specifically geared toward oral health. Someone else may have some helpful info. I know that CET makes pet dental products, including a water additive. Googling for them should bring up their site. I believe they’re owned by Virbac. After she tested positive, I gave my FeLV+ girl interferon alpha and DMG (both are general immune system boosters) for most of her life. I often gave her Prescription Diet t/d as a “treat”. We rarely had any gum or teeth issues, though she did need several cleanings. The t/d would not be good for a kitty already dealing with any mouth pain. Best wishes for you and the calico kitten, Lance On Aug 11, 2014, at 9:06 PM, Susan Grimes wrote: > Hi everyone, > I have a 4 month old calico that just retested for a FIV+ original test and > this week she tested FIV- and FeLV+.
