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.)

 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,

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

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.
