Diagnosis and symptoms of feline stomatitis:

1. Most cats will suffer from loss of appetite or loss of appetite when they get stomatitis, especially when the cat is under the influence of stomatitis. There will also be a lot of drooling when eating. Some people shake their heads and moan when eating, which is a reaction to food stimulating pain points.

2. When the oral cavity of a cat suffering from stomatitis is examined, there will be congestion and redness of the mucous membrane, epithelial shedding or ulceration, and an unpleasant putrid smell.

3. Cats with severe stomatitis will have sticky, brown, and strong-smelling secretions from their mouths. They will have an increased desire to drink and refuse oral examinations. At this time, the cat will be in poor spirits, lose appetite, and drool clear and thin saliva. Oral mucosa is congested, ulcerated or suppurated, with bad breath, difficulty chewing and pain.

Methods to deal with stomatitis in cats:

1. When a cat has stomatitis, the owner should no longer feed the cat dry and hard cat food. To feed the cat some soft food, you can soak the cat food in goat milk powder or warm water before feeding it to the cat, or you can make some homemade liquid food that is easier to digest and give it to the cat, and let the cat drink warm water.

2. When a cat lacks some B vitamins, the cat may also suffer from stomatitis. It is recommended that the owner puree some fresh fruits and vegetables before giving them to the cat. They can also supplement the cat with some special vitamin B to help the cat’s oral cavity recover to health.

3. In addition to feeding the cat vitamin B, the owner should also do some treatment for the cat’s stomatitis. After cleaning the cat’s mouth, spray some mouth spray on the stomatitis area to help the cat reduce the symptoms of bad breath and drooling, and restore the oral environment to health faster.

4. You can also feed the cat some amoxicillin and give antibiotics to treat cat stomatitis, but it will require long-term care in the later stage.
