Re: [Felvtalk] Gum redness
Hello, 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. Do you think adding DMG, interferon, pet tinic and/or transfer factor plus would help? Thanks, Mally Sent from my iPhone.

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.

Re: [Felvtalk] Gum redness
Pet Tinic will help if she’s anemic, the others are immune boosters. DMG is fairly proven to generally boost the immune system but it’s mild, Transfer Factor is unproven but people use it anyway, and interferon is similar. I’d start with DMG. It should be harmless (you can find a lot of info about it online). Still, best to talk to your vet to get their approval.
